Magie des Lesens

When the right book finds us at the right time, without us having searched for it – this is one of the most magical moments in life.

Annemarie Stoltenberg has collected the most beautiful stories about reading and commented on them charmingly. She recalls wonderful reading hours with Marcel Proust, Philippe Delerm's struggles to flip through a book on the beach, moving sentences from Anna Akhmatova's "Requiem," Siegfried Lenz as the "most addicted reader," and the merging of her library with that of her husband – the true moment of a marriage. Wonderful stories about the highlights of reading, which, along with illustrations by Tanja Kischel, invite you to dive into the world of literature.
