Everyday life always offers a variety of colorful and gray to black experiences, which usually have some kind of influence on life and are thus reflected in these stories and poems. And because life is so infinitely diverse, the whole thing is called "Allerlei" (All Sorts).I owe my lines to the diversity of life, my inspirations and ideas, which were simply given to me along with the ability to write poetry.These lines are intended to bring a smile, joy, and laughter to the faces of some of my contemporaries, while also giving them something to think about and perhaps even prompting them to rethink things.

Imagine opening yourself up completely to the unknown. This is the story of a friendship between two people who couldnt be more different. They have nothing in common: not gender, age, family status, culture, or religion. Between them lies a chasm of ignorance and prejudice, and a pandemic that gives them the time to build a bridge. It is the story of a change of perspective and what can come of it. This book is also a socio-cultural reflection on the question: What would be possible if we broke down enemy stereotypes in the world in order to solve the worlds problems together? It is a plea for acceptance, openness, and humanity, and for discovering the gift that lies hidden in these values for all of us.

Written without any romanticism, The Octopus gives a fascinating insight into the effects of industrialism, and the subsequent avarice that inevitably follows.
