Jürg Schubiger and Rotraut Susanne Berner narrate in their book a place and a time when Death was not known. Not even his name.

The restrained text by Jürg Schubiger, brilliant and moving, and the clear and intelligent images by Rotraut Susanne Berner show us in this illustrated book how with death not only does suffering appear but also compassion and consolation.
