Paul und Bataar

Summary

Paul has lived all over the world, but he hasn′t really seen much of it. His father is a diplomat. But since Paul′s mother died, his father has become rather introverted and is not really interested in much. At the moment, the family, which also includes Paul′s little sister, lives in Mongolia.

One day Paul breaks out of his pampered home. What he is really after is his father′s attention, and what he get is a great adventure. Paul befriends Bataar, who has also run away from his difficult nomad existence.

Together, the two observe a gang of thieves and while on the chase after them not only do they get to know the entire country but also get into a heap of trouble. Then surprisingly they manage to outwit the gang and finally get the recognition they so dearly crave.

With Bataar, Paul discovers a foreign culture, the vastness of the steppe, and the freedom that allows him to leave his disappointments behind.
