Die Eifel - Das Beste

Manfred Lang and Ralf Kramp, two passionate Eifel natives, present the literature of their homeland in all its diversity, illustrated with unpublished photos from the 1950s. For this reader's book, they have sifted through mountains of books and unearthed numerous treasures. Among them are great names: Goethe, Schiller, Schopenhauer, Hermann Löns, Alfred Andersch, Stefan Andres, Ernest Hemingway, and Heinrich Böll. Of course, the Eifel classics such as Clara Viebig, Peter Zirbes, Jakob Kneip, Nanny Lambrecht, and Theodor Seidenfaden are included, as well as prominent figures of contemporary Eifel literature like Jacques Berndorf, Norbert Scheuer, Heinz Küpper, and Mario Adorf. It is not only renowned names that served as selection criteria; there are also incomparable stories from lesser-known authors that inspire throughout the seasons.
