"The Anxious Man" Author: [Sweden] Frederick Bachman Publisher: Tianjin People's Publishing House

What kind of helplessness and desperation forced a middle-aged man to rob a cashless bank with a toy gun on the morning before the New Year? The failed robber fled to a for-sale apartment on the top floor of the building, which was full of potential buyers looking at the house. From then on, the robbery turned into a hostage-taking case.

However, the development of the incident was unexpected. There was no confrontation between the police and the robbers, no fatal blows, and after a long day, the eight hostages were released safely, but the robbers were completely gone. The police interrogated the hostages one by one, but found that each of them had a lot of complaints and questions, but no one could explain clearly and they didn't care where the robbers had gone.

Marriage, work, family, parenting, investment, medical care, interpersonal relationships, everything in today's life can cause anxiety, and no one dares to say that they are not anxious at all. We are all hard-working and fragile little people, complaining while gritting our teeth and persevering. The novel "Anxious People" cares about ordinary people like you and me.
