A thought-provoking, richly illustrated table book about the "philosophy of the good life" and probably the most unusual book ever written about a theme park.

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. In this book, the habilitated historian and essayist Stefan Lindl has embarked on an unusual journey in search of the good life.

In the Europa-Park he discovers a world that remains hidden from most visitors. The book is the richly illustrated story of this wondrous journey of voyage of discovery full of hedonism and holiness, baroque existence and paradisiacal revolution, full of catharsis and stairways to heaven.

In the park, Stefan Lindl encounters the deeper layers of our reality and ultimately also the secret of the good life.
