In the river, author Claus Hackenberger continues the story of Paul Berck, whom readers first met in the unforgettable semi-autobiography, A Long Wslk. Nearly a decade after his daring escape from a French slave labor camp, Paul arrives in America, where he embarks on a successful career as a much sought-after engineer. Young, attractive, and well-liked, Paul soon finds himself entangled in a net stitched together with money, power, and prestige. His career sends him crisscrossing the continents, sampling the strobe-lit world of after-hours clubs and the attentions of glamorous women. Yet, even as he rapidly ascends the professional ladder, his personal life begins a parallel descent into ruin. While the first part of the river belongs to the almost-real Paul, his story gives way to that of the present-day author. Older now, Claus walks along the river, letting the soft swishing of the waters guide his pen as he writes. And though the river bears witness to one man's darkest hours, it ultimately speaks to the victory of the human spirit, to the indomitable power of kindness, to the undeniable truth that without forgiveness no dawn will wake a new day. This is a story of pain and joy and discovery -- the story that lives inside each and every one of us. Book jacket.
