Moving back to the late nineteenth century Berlin café scene depicted in 'Café Josty Scene, ' we witness individuals lost amidst conversations and their own thoughts as they become engrossed in their surroundings. 'A Good Book' invites us into a serene moment where time stands still for its reader; every page turned brings them deeper into a world of wonder and intrigue.
