Features: Simon Mayr, a renowned contemporary Austrian writer, was born in Vienna in 1924. He is one of the most beloved best-selling authors in German-speaking countries after World War II. His novels are closely tied to the times, critique social evils, and are highly readable while possessing considerable depth. They have been translated and introduced into 35 countries, with a total print run of 73 million copies, and have been adapted into films almost entirely. Mayr was awarded Austria's highest honor medal for science and art and received the United Nations' Outstanding Writer Award in 1991. The writer Heim once highly praised Mayr, calling him "the Balzac of our time."
"Jimmy Walks to the Rainbow," a phrase that deciphers a mysterious code. In Vienna, the troubled Valerie poisoned the Argentine chemist and businessman Aranda, who had come for an international conference, and then took his own life. Aranda's son Manuel arrives to handle the affairs, only to find that he himself is nearly killed. He strongly desires to uncover the deeper secrets of his father's death, meets and falls in love with Valerie's niece Irene, only to discover that her background is also shrouded in mystery.
A life story full of twists and turns, spanning decades of storms and grievances, intertwined with the absurdity of the era and woven into the mockery of history. Valerie went to great lengths to protect his son from the Nazi racial persecution, only to find it all in vain. The superpowers competing to develop highly effective biochemical weapons and the intricate espionage activities filled with mutual intrigue—it's a truly bizarre world!
