The beginning of a planned book series.
Detailed description:
Georg Dampf has left his professional life behind.
After forty years in sales, he could finally put his feet up. But instead of spending his retirement on the sofa at home, he embarks on an unusual project.
He collects toasts.
Not from books.
Not from the internet.
But where they originate: among people.
With his toast diary, Georg travels through Germany, visiting wine bars, cider pubs, beer gardens, hotels, village festivals, and restaurants. Everywhere he meets people who tell their stories, share memories, and pass on their very personal life wisdom.
Every toast becomes a window into another world for Georg.
Sometimes humorous.
Sometimes thoughtful.
Sometimes full of zest for life.
And sometimes surprisingly profound.
But Georg soon realizes that he collects far more than just toasts.
He collects encounters.
Friendships.
Stories.
And memories.
