    About this ebook

    What happens to your personality if you don't know who you really are? 'He was possessed by the idea of doing the most startling things in order to astonish his fellowmen. He loved to dazzle and amaze people.'The Prisoner Who Sang portrays Andreas, an eccentric and village outcast. He is so lacking in his own identity that he takes on several different personalities and then accuses himself of murdering one of them.Andreas opportunistically takes on many disguises in real life such as an aristocrat and a businessman, and unfortunately crosses the line which leads to some time in prison. This is a humorous but ultimately tragic story of a lonely imaginative man.-
