Welcome

to a literary journey of discovery!

We have selected books by German speaking authors who deal with Africa in all its many facets. We have chosen books that
  • are of high literary quality
  • are informative
  • are interesting from a political point of view
  • are representative of the image of Africa in German literature
  • have been intensely discussed during the last few years.
Our Internet feature offers synopses, critical reviews and information about the authors. For further suggestions, please contact:
