One feels in the library as in the presence of a great capital that silently produces unpredictable interest.

Borrowing books and media

Book of the week Iowa

Every week we present a book from our collection that we find particularly interesting, exciting, instructive or otherwise particularly worth reading. This week a book from the longlist of the German Book Prize 2024:

Stefanie Sargnagel "Iowa" (Rowohlt Verlag, 2024)

The new book by the Austrian bestselling author (“Dicht”). Stefanie Sargnagel's view of the USA is as unmistakable as her writing: sarcastic, ruthlessly honest and yet full of sympathy, she brings us closer to rural America and gives a heart-warming account of the vital importance of female friendships.
