In 15 short, fantastical stories for adults and children, Eugen Kellermeier whisks us away into the world of insurance and sales representative Richard Linde.
Instead of numbers and contracts, however, he deals with entirely different things: a star-collecting device, or railway carriages held together by giant steel hands instead of buffers. Invisible to most people, he floats through space, sometimes here, sometimes there, or even everywhere at once. He devises all sorts of mischief. He also helps the few people who can see him, such as a potter whose vases and vessels keep toppling over. He captures comet tails, drives steamers on the street, and he can even fly.
