The search for the good life occupies us all. Sometimes it is so deeply hidden in the demands of everyday life that we simply cannot find it, sometimes it seems to be completely lost from view due to crises or personal borderline situations.
In this book, habilitated historian and essayist Stefan Lindl has embarked on an unusual journey in search of the good life. It took him to Rust in Europa-Park, the largest theme park in Germany.
Where millions of people seek entertainment and thrills every year Stefan Lindl discovered a completely different, fascinating world - beyond the crowds and rides. A world that remains completely hidden from most visitors. The book "The Park" is the richly illustrated story of this wondrous The Park is the richly illustrated story of this wondrous journey of discovery full of history and imagination, hedonism and holiness, baroque existence and paradisiacal revolution, full of stairways to heaven and gloomy carnival masks. In the park, Stefan Lindl encounters the deeper layers of our reality and ultimately also the secret of the good life.
A thought-provoking, richly illustrated table book about the "philosophy of the good life" and probably the most unusual book ever written about an amusement park.
