Bern 1863: Just before the wheels of a passing carriage could hit the little daydreamer Rudolphe Lindt in the marketplace, he is saved by a beautiful flower girl. From that moment on, it is clear: the young Lindt has survived to achieve greatness! But not in the way his family wishes. The son of a doctor becomes a school dropout and plunges into adventure. As a charmer and bon vivant, doors have always been open to him. Why should that change now? In Bern, he eventually opens a chocolate factory and creates something unique that secures him a place in the history books: the boy who was once a disappointment to his family revolutionizes chocolate production. While Rudolphe Lindt invents conching, the eyes of the world are on him. Especially chocolatier Sprüngli cannot believe what he has accomplished. Opulent, dramatic, and meticulously researched – this unforgettable family saga revolves around the world-famous Swiss chocolatier families Sprüngli and Lindt. A lovingly designed paperback completes this unique reading pleasure! The sequel to the number-one Spiegel bestseller.
