◎ Content Summary
The creation of this book originated from a gift. Author Heike Faller, an editor at Germany's Die Zeit, had a sudden inspiration when she saw her adorable newborn niece: to write a unique book that would show her niece the life she was about to face. She invited the multi-award-winning illustrator Valerio Vidali to collaborate, and she personally interviewed people of various ages, social statuses, and nationalities, compiling their stories into this book from 0 to 100 years old. She only asked them one question: "What has life taught you?"
After the interviews, she surprisingly found that many people from very different backgrounds shared some similar understandings of the world at different stages of life, such as:
At 19, you often dislike yourself.
At 36, you discover reality is far from imagination.
At 43, you learn to live for yourself.
At 51, you accept your parents as they are.
At 75, you learn to forget.
At 80, you feel life is finite and cherish the present even more.
At 92, you accept the fact that everyone will eventually die.
Year by year, page by page, you will follow the timeline of a lifetime, experiencing the small things that each of us may encounter. We believe that no matter what stage of life you are in, there is a sentence in this book that will resonate with your current state of being. Which year of your life have you reached?
