Detleff Jones
musician and businessman, takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the past 7 decades in his book "On the Way through Time". In 38 stories, he tells of his extremely colourful life and of his countless, sometimes very adventurous journeys through Europe, Asia, America and Africa, which repeatedly plunged him into gripping adventures and provided deep insights into foreign societies. Hilarious, exciting and thought-provoking stories as well as great insider knowledge about the tricks and finesses of the international art market provide the reader with an unusual and high entertainment factor as well as unadulterated reading pleasure. As in his songs, the author impresses not least with his high linguistic standards.Musician, adventurer, merchant - and sensitive observer of his colourful life, from which he knows how to narrate with virtuosity: Detleff Jones seems to live several lives at once! In this book he illuminates the most diverse stages of the past 7 decades, sometimes incomprehensible, then comical, but always exciting and stringently narrated, because - you may hardly believe it - these are the experienced stories of a single person! And along the way, he gives the reader unexpected insights into the secluded world of the art and antiques trade.
