This book is a collection of 17 short stories, arranged in the order they were written. Unlike typical short story collections, each protagonist here shares a similar identity; despite using different names, you can consider them as the same person, describing and elaborating on Berlin and other places through their own perspectives, thus revealing their inner worlds. The main character remains constant, but the supporting characters are diverse: a fashionable elderly gentleman who enjoys cycling, a musician who has given up his job to pursue other paths, a part-time worker from Eastern Europe, and a Turkish woman who has lived in Berlin for over thirty years. They all share rich life experiences and complex, thoughtful inner lives. The stories are not limited to Berlin; they also take place in other parts of the world.
