150 Years of Thomas Mann

Thomas Mann was born 150 years ago and is one of Germany's most important writers of the 20th century. As a Nobel Prize winner and political commentator, he has left a lasting literary legacy. On the occasion of his 150th birthday, we take a look at his life and work.

Translation Funding Program

The Goethe-Institut's translation funding program supports foreign publishers in the publication of German literature. Our aim is to make it easier for an international audience to access German-language contemporary literature, non-fiction and books for children and young people, as well as important academic titles and non-fiction books.
