The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine has now been going on for more than two years. Last year, we presented the 'Living in Words' collection, which mainly presents titles from the year 2022. It consists partly of works by Ukrainian authors that have been translated into German and partly of books by German authors who write about Ukraine.

This year, the collection is entering a second round and aims to draw more attention to Ukrainian authors once again. Furthermore, German authors are represented with titles about Ukraine. Even though Russia's invasion is the subject of many of the books, there are also other titles - children's books, art books and a literary rediscovery. The collection shows the diversity, complexity and beauty of Ukrainian books on the German book market, as well as the many different ways in which German authors deal with Ukraine.
