As readers know, Hendrik Grun himself does not like to be bored and does not let others get bored. Therefore, in his third novel, a completely new story awaits us, not connected in any way with the Amsterdam almshouse. This time we will not meet Grun in person, but judging by the merciless accuracy of his observations and inimitable irony, he remains somewhere nearby and peeps... Arthur Ophof is disappointed. He is about to turn fifty, and his life is synonymous with despondency. A boring job, a boring marriage without children and without passion, boring hours in traffic jams instead of long journeys to exotic lands and the thrills that he dreamed of so much. Playing golf with friends on Friday is the highlight of the week. And here in addition there is unfair dismissal. It’s time to give up on yourself... or develop a cunning plan to radically change your fate. The publishing layout is saved in a4.pdf format.
