The image features a bumblebee on a vibrant pink thistle flower. The bumblebee, with its distinctive yellow and black fuzzy body, is perched on the flower's spiky surface, actively engaged in pollination. The thistle flower is round and covered with numerous thin, spiky petals, giving it a textured appearance. The background is slightly blurred, with hints of green foliage and a blue structure, possibly a building, providing a natural setting. The focus is on the interaction between the bumblebee and the flower, highlighting the intricate details of the bee's fur and the flower's structure.

L'immagine mostra un piatto di pasta penne con spinaci e un pezzo di formaggio, probabilmente mozzarella, al centro. La pasta è ben cotta e arricchita con spinaci verdi freschi, che sembrano essere stati sautéati. Il formaggio è posizionato al centro del piatto, con un tocco di erbe fresche sopra. Il piatto è servito su un piatto bianco e si trova su un tavolo coperto da un tovagliolo a quadretti blu e bianchi. Accanto al piatto, ci sono una forchetta e un coltello, pronti per essere utilizzati. Sullo sfondo, si intravede una bottiglia, probabilmente di birra, che completa il pasto.

Long story short: thanks to a series of misunderstandings, I had to shell out more than ten thousand euros to prevent a German audiobook of my work from being released with DRM and now I need your help (assuming you speak German) to get the book into readers' ears!

I would really like to support your project, but I don't have a credit card and I am not willing to get one, because of Kickstarter. Sorry 😕

Why would you try to sell an audiobook through Kickstarter (a store that only accepts American credit cards and no SEPA transactions) to a populace where less than a quarter owns an American credit card?
