Tango Africano

Africa, the continent where it all began – and a love, late in life and heart-rending

Hardy Krüger is one of the few German actors of the post-war era who managed to have an international movie career. He starred opposite Hollywood legends like John Wayne and James Stewart to name just a few. In the Sixties, after staying in Africa for several months, Krüger purchased a farm in Tanzania, which would serve as his family’s home for more than a decade. In his novel, Africa is the setting for a love story aimed at a generation who dares to celebrate love beyond the cult of youth.

AFRICAN TANGO resounds, once again, with the dominant themes of Hardy Krüger’s life: love, the longing for the faraway, and the male concept of living a self-determined life. The story is a love story with immense literary density that is told in a harsh language, which has its own, very personal tone appealing to male and female readers alike.

“As an actor, he is larger than life – but he is also unbeatable as an author and storyteller.” ECHO DER FRAU
