Summary:
"'Das wunderbare Leben' ist nicht einfach Peter Roseis Autobiografie. Es ist sein Versuch zur literarischen Wahrhaftigkeit und zugleich die Geschichte eines Autors, der viele Leben gelebt hat. Dessen Devise lauten könnte: Das Leben ist wunderbar, auch wenn es zu Zeiten schrecklich ist. Aus kleinen Verhältnissen stammend, kommt der junge Mann als Sekretär des Malers Ernst Fuchs rasch zu Geld, gibt aber alles auf, um seiner Berufung als Dichter gerecht zu werden. Nach Jahren schwerer Krisen folgt ein abenteuerliches Bohème-Leben an der Seite der Künstler und Literaten der 70er- und frühen 80er-Jahre, darunter sein engster und langjährigster Freund H.C. Artmann. Schliesslich die große Wende - aber lesen Sie selbst: Wahrheit und Dichtung ergänzen sich in diesem Text"--Publisher's website.
"'The Wonderful Life' is not just Peter Rosei's autobiography. It is his attempt at literary truthfulness and at the same time the story of an author who has lived many lives. His motto could be: Life is wonderful, even if it is terrible at times . Coming from a humble background, the young man quickly makes money as the secretary of the painter Ernst Fuchs, but gives up everything to fulfill his calling as a poet. After years of severe crises, an adventurous bohemian life follows alongside the artists and Literary figures of the 70s and early 80s, including his closest and long-standing friend H.C. Artmann. Finally the big turning point - but read for yourself: truth and poetry complement each other in this text"--Publisher's website.
