Grote Europese Roman

Robin, a keen and orderly young researcher, is dispatched by a marketing firm on a tour of Europe's capitals to discover what ties the continent together. He measures everything from languages and stamps to ringtones, ties and the tallest peaks. Each of the thirty-six brief chapters is named after a capital. Along the way, chance encounters teach him that the unity exists mostly on paper and in shops, and that a seething variety lies beneath. Theo, his boss, carries a secret.
