Some places you visit once. Others stay with you for life.
At seventeen, Werner Freiberger sets off for Greece. Decades later, he returns with his wife and son. Between Athens and the Greek islands, a life unfolds: youthful bravado, friendship and love, the pain of parting and the hope of what lies ahead.
But how do we remember our younger selves? What stays with us from nights with friends, big plans and journeys made together?
The Greek gods have their say, too. In imagined encounters, Athena asks awkward questions, while Dionysus has little patience for neat explanations. Their conversations bring humour and reflection to questions of freedom, responsibility, loss and growing older.
"The Places That Saw Us – When the Future Had No Name" is an autobiographical travel memoir about coming of age, the people who share our lives and the bond between a father and his son.
Atmospheric watercolour illustrations and original songs accompany the places and stories. QR codes in the book lead readers to freiberger.music, where they can discover and listen to the songs.
We remember places.
Perhaps some places remember us, too.
