Ostpreu?en, einst stolze deutsche Provinz – millionenfach geliebt und oft beweint. Land der dunklen W?lder und kristallnen Seen … Der Roman l?sst dieses Land mit seinem Liebreiz, seinen Br?uchen und seinen Menschen mit ihrer unverwechselbaren Sprache anschaulich auferstehen. F?r ein paar Lesestunden erstrahlen die Provinz, sowie seine Hauptstadt K?nigsberg in alter Sch?nheit, ehe die Auswirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs dieses Land zerst?rten. Einige Schicksale sollen hier f?r hunderttausende stehen, die von Klaus-Peter Enghardt einf?hlsam aber auch schockierend, oft bis an die Grenze des Vorstellbaren beschrieben werden.
