Book of the month

Caroline Wahl Windstärke 17

Ida has nothing with her except her mother's old, battered hard-shell suitcase, a few favourite clothes and her MacBook when she leaves home. At the station, she chooses the train that goes furthest away – she definitely doesn't want to go to her sister Tilda in Hamburg – and ends up on the island of Rügen. Following her acclaimed debut "22 Bahnen" Caroline Wahl now tells the story of how Ida takes on life in her unmistakable style. A stirring, intense and yet immensely comforting novel about daughters, sisters and mothers, about supposed guilt and forgiveness – of oneself and others.

Also available as an audiobook.

Article for reading

Tabletop Games Let the Games begin!

More board and card games are sold in Germany than in any other country. They guarantee fun, variety – and sometimes even divorce: an article about good moods and bad losers.

At first sight, the library feels cozy and warm, almost like a quiet retreat. But once you begin exploring the shelves, you discover works of real depth, especially in philosophy.
