Peter Peppler - Samui and back
The bestselling author Benjamin Disraeli sets the course for a new type of travel guide: he goes to these places, looks inside itself and then brings us here with this book. Not very many writers know their subject matter, but Peppler is an example: the author of "Greece and Egypt" describes the islands of Samui so well that it will feel like being there.
Three years ago, Peter Mertens, the disillusioned 52-year-old graphic artist, decided to return to his Thai wife, Meou, who passed away the next year. He's totally hermit now until a spontaneous decision to visit again Samui island after their separation. At the airport in Bangkok he finds his wallet with a lot of local money.
When he arrives in Ban Bophet, he sees it Maria (34 year old experienced medical doctor and psychologist) There he hides the wallet. The two are happy spending a day together. When they are back together again, Maria wants to understand Peter's inner world. In turn, he's more sceptical and waiting than active. Together they go on a trip to Ko Phangan, celebrate Mae's birthday, where Peter was swept away by Maria's emotional experiences. The disaster that results from the ambush leaves them both feeling on the ground is intense and emotional. As Peter becomes better understood, his strange behaviour becomes increasingly incomprehensible to his partner. She takes a business trip to Frankfurt, leaving him behind for two more days before returning to spend time with him.
