Book of the week Von Norden rollt ein Donner

Every week we present a book from our collection that we find particularly interesting, exciting, instructive or otherwise particularly worth reading.

This week, another book from the German Book Prize 2024 shortlist :

Markus Thielemann “Von Norden rollt ein Donner” (C.H. Beck, Munich 2024)

The wolf is back in the Lüneburg Heath. And while Jannes - like his father and grandfather before him - drives his sheep across the heathland every day, emotions run high in the village. Can homeland security justify violence?

Markus Thielemann's anti-homeland novel is a psychogram of a landscape of longing and shows in a subtle and captivating way how an idyll can turn into its opposite.
