Die andere Seite : $b Ein phantastischer Roman

A weary yet curious narrator recalls a childhood companion whose life took an impossible turn. Years after their school days in Salzburg, the narrator—now a modest illustrator—receives an unexpected visit from a stranger who speaks of the old friend’s astonishing fortune and a grand, almost mystical scheme. The stranger’s tale describes a sprawling 3,000‑square‑kilometre estate transformed into a “dream realm,” complete with cities, villages, forests and a growing populace that seems to sprout from imagination itself.

As the story unfolds, the narrator is drawn into a world where ordinary memory collides with uncanny visions, and the line between realistic recollection and fantastical speculation blurs. Through vivid illustrations and measured narration, the early chapters set a tone of quiet intrigue, hinting at the strange influence the enigmatic Patera exerts on an entire community. Listeners are invited to follow the narrator’s cautious investigation, wondering how far truth can stretch when a dream becomes a territory.
