Strangers in Paradise

Nathan and Ana are strangers from somewhere. They have a delicate task: to understand the inhabitants of this - our - world. How do they live and love? What do they strive for, what do they fight over? The two take human form so as not to attract attention on their mission. What they discover on their journey bewilders them. Why do children starve on this fertile planet? Why do people kill each other over an invisible border? Why do some squander while others languish in misery? They are already about to abandon their expedition in disappointment with humanity when they encounter people who are also not quite "of this world": a hidden clan, incapable of hatred or domination, to whom possessions and greed are alien. Thus they find new hope... In his new novel, Andreas Sommer looks at us humans through the eyes of aliens, who gaze bewildered at abysses and absurdities, but also recognize the beauties and opportunities of our world. A thrilling, humorous, and at the same time deeply serious parable about the inhumanity of humankind.
