SWR2 Magazine is a worth-read including the new book by Andrea Wolf – SWR2

“Fabulous Rebels” was published today in Worth Reading. That is, about the poets of early romanticism, to whom Andrea Woolf devotes her new book.

It is also about the genius cult in Goethe’s Weimar. Carl August Böttiger accompanied him at the time as a kind of early gossip reporter: the German poet Olympus from a keyhole perspective! We present the audiobook.

Speaking of gossip reporters, do you remember Kir Royal’s Baby Shimmerless? FAZ journalist Claudius Seidel has now dedicated an easy-to-read biography to the creator of the wonderful TV series, Helmut Dietl, and we’re talking to him about it.

It’s also about creating a successful publishing company in difficult times: we present to you Trabanten Verlag.

Austrian author Christoph Ransmayer remembered his childhood songs and wrote wonderful poems and poems: “Unter dem Zuckerhimmel” is the title of Anselm Kiefer’s wonderful watercolor volume.

Then it’s about birds, which are increasingly invading our cities as a new home: “Wanderers Between Worlds. What Birds Say in Cities” is the title of Caroline Ring’s wonderful book.
