From a Golden Mirror to a Sparkling Chandelier: Thirty Short Stories from a Journey through Life

Helmut Schwab’s stories reflect the diversity of life through human encounters, observations, visions, or just stories—romantic, funny, serious, or just so—from Provence to Munich, San Francisco, or the gardens of Princeton—from Arizona to biblical Galilee, a bombing night in Afghanistan, a vision in Jerusalem, or some hope in prison—or by describing the funny small animals in the garden—or a children’s ball rolling along the road.

A clear vision of reality renders the stories colorful and lively—based on sensibility for joy, sorrow, suffering, love, or humor—written at times with a smiling, at times with a crying face.
