READING WITH MATTHIAS NAWRAT: „ÜBER ALLEM EIN WEITER HIMMEL“ (in German language)

Matthias Nawrat is a literary fellow at Schloss Wiepersdorf in September and October. On Sunday, September 29, the last day the café and museum at Schloss Wiepersdorf are open, he will read from his latest book “Über allem ein weit Himmel - Nachrichten aus Europa” in German language.

Matthias Nawrat spent ten years traveling through the literatures and landscapes of Eastern Europe. His journey took him from Opole in Poland, where his family emigrated from in the 1980s, to the Gdansk shipyard, the birthplace of the Solidarność revolution, from Tel Aviv back to Berlin and on to Timișoara, Budapest, Skopje in Macedonia, Minsk and beyond the Urals. The book is a kind of travel diary and an autobiographical essay at the same time. It was published by Rowohlt Verlag in March 2024.

It is taking place as part of “Connecting Worlds - Kulturland Brandenburg 2024/2025”.
