Auserlesen! - The book column

“What on Earth shall I read?” Whether you’re an articulate German teacher or a German student with an appetite for books: anyone looking for suitable reading material is faced with this question.

“Well, something’s happened again.” Yes indeed: the second edition of Auserlesen! covers everything from language’s lost treasures, dark gold and diffuse light to the courtroom, really cool, finishing up with eternal life. Intrigued?

There’s plenty to discover in the new edition of Auserlesen!: the recommended reading for May tells the story of girls like Leni and April, covering everything from German women in Iceland to Afro-Germans in Finsterwalde. 

In June Auserlesen! looks at inquisitive questions from kids, the threatened environments of teenagers in the past and now, the consequences of nocturnal encounters, and the quest for a common world that accepts people without prejudice. And this month’s reading tip puts us in the mood for summer.
