DANIEL KEHLMANN – F: A NOVEL
It's the summer before the financial crisis. Martin Friedland, a Catholic priest without faith, overweight because he's always hungry, meets his half-brother Eric for dinner. The heavily indebted financial advisor, teetering on the brink of prison, has unsettling visions, but he shares them with no one. Shadowy men, even two children, warn him of something, but are these warnings really meant for him, or perhaps for his twin brother Ivan, the art connoisseur and aesthete who looks exactly like him? And so the disaster unfolds.
Daniel Kehlmann tells the story of three brothers who—each in their own way—are swindlers, hypocrites, and forgers. They've settled into their lives, but suddenly an abyss opens up. A moment of inattention, a coincidence, a wrong step, and what seemed like a ghostly nightmare becomes reality.
A novel about lies and truth, about family, forgery and the power of fiction: a virtuoso work of art – multifaceted, mysterious and bold.

- Why did mammoths become extinct across the entire earth at the same time as many other large mammals?
- Why are the mammoth carcasses found generally in standing positions?
- How could large lakes exist in what are today very dry, desert-like places?
- What was the source of the abnormal of moisture necessary for heavy snow?
- What caused the cold summer temperatures and heavy snowfall to persist for hundreds of years?
