Poignant fates of lovers in a magical house against the backdrop of the wars of the 20th century

This is the story of a legendary house in the north of Tunisia. Built at the beginning of the 20th century and abandoned by its last inhabitants in the 1960s, it still stands closed, overgrown with roses and almost forgotten in its large garden overlooking the lake and the Ichkeul volcano.
There are only a few people who still know the secret of the house and the sad fate of its inhabitants. The tragic story of its builder, who gave the beautiful house to his great love Lilith. They could only be happy together in the house for a short time because he was shot down as a pilot in the First World War. Lilith buried him in the small chapel in the garden, but she only survived him for a short time. She was also buried in the little chapel.
Fate repeated itself for the following inhabitants. They too were only able to live very happily in the house by the lake for a few years until the Second World War struck this peaceful world. During the war years, there was heavy destruction, many dead and injured and atrocities committed by the Germans against the population. The Haus am See was secluded, it was not hit and offered refuge to many relatives, friends and Jewish victims of persecution.
For a few years, the Haus am See was repeatedly the home of lovers who were separated by war and death. But their love could not be destroyed. It is said that on nights full of stars, the white shadows of lovers walk in the garden and dance to tender music. Roses and chrysanthemums bloom miraculously and bear witness to the fact that love is stronger than death.

Über den Autor

Mehr über Michael Ghanem

Born in 1949, he grew up in France and graduated from an elite French university for industrial engineers. After moving to Germany, he studied economics, sociology, political science, philosophy and ethics. In the field of philosophy, he was strongly influenced by the philosophy and teachings of Zarathustra, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Rabelais, Michel de Montaigne, Baruch Spinoza, Thomas Aquinas, Ibn Khaldun, Niccolo Machiavelli, René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Gottfried W. Leibniz, Auguste Comte, Arthur Schopenhauer, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Karl Marx, Henri Bergson, Karl Popper, Karl Jaspers, and Erich Fromm. In the field of economics, he was strongly influenced by post-Keynesians and behavioural economists. He is highly critical of the teachings of Milton Friedman, the Chicago Boys, the Frederick School and Friedrich A. Hayek. His professional career first took him to an international organisation, where he worked for five years as a project controller for major water projects, mainly in Africa, and thanks to this, he was able to get to know a large number of countries and their leaders. He then worked for many years for a European organisation and several international consulting firms. He considers himself a critic of current globalisation and has been strongly committed to water management and economics issues since 1974. These experiences have given him a deep understanding of geopolitical issues and enabled him to assess current political developments, particularly in the context of economic interdependencies. Since his retirement, he has been living a secluded life in Bonn and working as a writer. In his publications, he focuses primarily on the pressing social, economic and political issues of our time, as well as water management. To date, he has published numerous works on politics and geopolitics, society and economics. Other key topics include health, identity, racism, the environment, migration, water management, Africa, demographic development and alternative economic systems such as anti-fragility economics. He has also published several short stories and fairy tales.
