Vier Geschichten, die uns lehren, aus der Vergangenheit über die Zukunft zu lernen und den Blick nach vorn zu öffnen.
Was wäre, wenn du in die Vergangenheit reisen könntest? "Bevor der Kaffee kalt wird" erzählt die Geschichte von einem magischen Sessel..
Un véritable coup de coeur ! J'y ai laissé quelques larmes, j'avoue, mais c'est si beau de voir que l'on peut trouver de petits bonheurs malgré la tristesse des évènements. Ce livre nous invite à remettre en perpective certaines situations, de créer nos propres petits bonheurs, de laisser nos remords et nos regrets derrière nous, mieux, de les accepter pour mieux vivre le présent.
The premise, there's a seat in a coffee shop that allows you to travel to any other moment in time. The constraints - you can't leave the seat, and you only have as long as a cup of coffee stays warm.
The rules of the café are a bit silly, and repeated a few too many times, but the characters and the themes of the book are warm as a good cup of coffee, charming as a small out of the way café, and mostly very sweet in a way that coffee isn't. A time travel story that makes the simple point that what we really want when we fantasize about doing it is not a change to change the world, but to speak with someone.
Worth the short read.
Molto commovente ma speravo meglio.
An easy to read and heartwarming story. It spoke to my sad soul and made me cry, so it must have been good.
