Sie beschäftigen sich mit dem stupiden grauen Arbeitsalltag, mit Umweltzerstörung, mit Freizeitbeschäftigungen, Kneipen- oder Konzertbesuchen, sind aber auch einigen literarischen Vorbildern gewidmet oder reflektieren frustrierende Erfahrungen aus der Grundwehrdienstzeit des Autors (1977–1979), die er als Soldat in einer Rostocker Kaserne verbringen musste.

This audiobook brings their stories back to life through a vivid blend of archaeology, historical research, and storytelling.
