Ron Edwards hat genug von seinem Leben als Abteilungsleiter einer Bank. Er möchte endlich seine Freiheit genießen und nicht von Verantwortung erdrückt werden. Von heute auf morgen kündigt er seinen Job und wird zum Weltenbummler. Auf seiner Reise begegnet er Tama´Olu, der Tochter des Stammesoberhaupts einer kleinen Tonga-Insel. Seine Liebe zu Tama´Olu wird nur noch mehr entflammt durch die kostbare Perlenkette, die sie um ihren Hals trägt. Während er um die Liebe der Häuptlingstochter kämpft, erwacht auch der Geschäftsmann wieder in ihm, und er begibt sich auf die Suche nach dem Schatz aus Perlen. (Amazon.de)

About the author

Heinz G. Konsalik (pseudonym of Heinz Günther) was a German novelist.

Many of his books deal with war and showed the German human side of things as experienced by their soldiers and families at home, for instance Das geschenkte Gesicht (The Mutilated Face), which deals with a German soldier's recovery after his sledge ran over a personnel mine and destroyed his face, and how this affected his relationship with his wife at home. It places no judgment on the German position in the war and simply deals with human beings in often desperate situations, doing what they were forced to do under German military law.

Der Arzt von Stalingrad (The Doctor of Stalingrad) made him famous and was adapted into a movie in 1958. Some 83 million copies sold of his 155 novels made him the most popular German novelist of the postwar era and many of his novels were translated and sold through book clubs. He is buried in Cologne.

Das ganze Buch ist ein nasser Traum eines weißen Mannes aus den 80ern.
