Ein Abend mit David Kermani © Goethe-Institut


Cologne-based author Navid Kermani will read from his book "Wonder
Beyond Belief: On Christianity" and talk about his work and his travels.
This is taking place on 4 April 2023 at 6.00pm, at Goethe-Institut Äthiopien.
Kermani is one of Germany's most influential intellectuals and has been
 awarded, among other prizes, the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade,
 the most important literary award in the German-speaking world. In
"Wonder Beyond Belief" he immerses himself in Christian imagery.
Published in 2015, this was on the Spiegel bestseller list for months and
 has been translated into numerous languages. "Navid Kermani has written
one of the funniest, most perceptive, outrageous and engaging books about
art, life and faith that I have ever read (...) he needs to be read and loved and
admired." Nicola Barker, spectator, October 28, 2017

The reading will take place in German and Amharic (read by Behailu
 Gebreegziabher), and the conversation will be in English.
