Stefan Beuse: Das Buch der Wunder

The siblings Penny and Tom are very different: Penny is open for every kind of magic, Tom always needs a scientific explanation. But then more and more inexplicable things happen and the border between the visible and the invisible world becomes permeable. The forest on the cover is a place of longing and attraction: a light and powerful paradise that can also turn into a dense, dark and mysterious space.

Die Philosophie des Gärtners

Gardening is one of the most basic activities. Therefore, today it is a way to meet the requirement of “doing the right thing”. And it never gets boring: Gardening is a new world to discover every year, the possibilities of where, what and how are endless and unpredictable. The book offers insights from philosophers, historians, agronomists, architects and Internet activists and forms the fourth book in the philosophy series – as always minimalistic and colorful.

Michael Weins, Katharina Gschwendtner: Sie träumt von Pferden

We are all animals – but sometimes we forget about that. This book tells stories about animals. And humans. Borders blur between dream and reality, human ethics and pure beauty, and, first of all, between animals and humans. Katharina Gschwendtner and Michael Weins show in drawings and short stories the mysterious turns of life. The typography underlines the the contrast and the unpredictable: Hard and soft, classic and contemporary.

Michael Weins: Goldener Reiter

Jonas’ mother lost control and is instructed into psychiatry. Jonas tries to keep his normal life – but what is normal actually? The title of the book and the design with the shiny golden paper create a big contrast to the unsteady and broken atmosphere in the book, but at the same time, they symbolize the indestructible connection between mother and child and the hope for a happy ending.
