An ordinary young engineer visits his cousin at an Alpine sanatorium for three weeks and stays seven years, seduced by illness, time, love and the talk of a Europe about to break.
Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
