The aging publisher, Dr. Göschen, is the last of his kind in the industry. Göschen, the oldest in the country, has always been the publishing house with the finest and greatest writers. But times have changed. An American publishing group is ready to take over the few healthy parts of the illustrious, but debt-ridden publishing house. When Göschen dies and the apprentice, Meier, can finally take over as helmsman under the new owners, World Books International Chicago Illinois USA, the play is set for business hard style. A thoughtful comedy about the book industry caught in the transition to a new digitalized, globalized and commercial reality.
