Almost simultaneously with Thomas Mann’s “Magic Mountain”, Italian Salvatore Satta wrote a novel about tuberculosis patients in a sanatorium. Lübecker Rotekatze Verlag published the work “Die Veranda” for the first time in German. Our critic read it.
Lubeck. Founded by former mayor Bernd Saxe and Uwe Lüders, the young Lübeck publishing house Rotekatze aims to fill in the gaps in the traditional publishing programme. With fantasy books, thrillers, nonfiction or books for young adults. Real Trouble is now being published by Rotekatze: “The Veranda,” a novel by Italian writer Salvatore Satta. The story of this book is extraordinary. Sata, who came from Sardinia and was a high-ranking lawyer by training, submitted a manuscript for the “Premio Viareggio” literary prize in 1928, but failed. Some contemporaries recognized that “Balcony” contained some similarities to Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain”, which appeared in German in 1924 but was unknown to Sata. The “Die Veranda” edition appeared for the first time in a German translation.
