TO THE WANDERERS…

Time on Earth is a novel about today’s egocentric society and the inspiring journey of Luca as he tries to escape from it. 

If you’ve ever dreamt about quitting everything to pursue your passion, to try to change the world for the better, or just to wander around and be free, then this book is for you.

Sex, drugs, tears, & love from the sweaty London tube to the decadent nights of Berlin.

 

Available worldwide on paperback and e-book

The book

“I have to do something meaningful with my life. I fear to face death and realise that my existence was for nothing, but first I need to be free. Goodbye London, goodbye big job, goodbye my love.”

It’s been decided, Luca has to kill his ego. He is a young advertising executive who has everything that someone is supposed to want nowadays; the girl, the status, and a wealthy life in London, but he hates himself for having become a slut of capitalism.

Panic attacks and suicidal thoughts push him to look for a change, leaving his shallow life behind to embark on a journey into the unknown. It begins with a visit to his old-time friend Jacques, an artist who lives a worry-free, weed-fuelled life in Berlin. Maybe he has some answers.

Funny yet profound book. If you are a Millennial that works in a large multinational, you will find a bit of yourself reflected in this novel. If you aren’t, you will see what it feels like being one. What a great start for an independent author!
