The Man in the Yellow Coat

In the interspace between the East and the West, in the emerging state Karpatija Libera, one man, although against his will, plays a special role. After the revolution, of which he was one of the architects, ended the era of wireless electronic communication and uncertainty ensued. Although he is a trusted intellectual, very few really listen to him. But everyone recognizes him by a striking and unique yellow coat. When at a particular point he, how else but accidentally, walks into the Street without End, his incredibly true, wondrous adventure will begin.

The Man in the Yellow Coat is at the same time realistic and futuristic. Like Gulliver, the protagonist bravely walks into an unknown world, which, however, turns out to be exactly the same as his. In two days he experiences love and deceit, friendships and betrayal, unexpected reversals. While many characters seeking their identity see their salvation in him, he recognizes only their sick ambition and signs of imminent ruin. Ludwig Bauer examines the nature of man, his addictions, flaws and fears. In this allegory today’s world full of false prophets and desire for quick success is revealed. The Man in the Yellow Coat, imbued with humor and passion, romantic affairs and political setups, philosophical contemplations and heretic ideas is a true twenty-first century novel.
