«Literatur am Mittag»: «Johann Peter Hebel – aktuell!»

Description

Let yourself be seduced during the lunch break: Martina Kuoni presents a book, a personality, or an event from the literary world – stimulating, entertaining, and informative. Classics and forgotten authors, book treasures and special locations, rebellious female writers and sensitive word artists – there is much to discover. "Schatzkästlein des rheinischen Hausfreundes" (1811) – not a book title of our days. But the stories in this collection are timeless. Goethe, Walter Benjamin, Bertolt Brecht were among Hebel's admirers. The wise texts show a sophisticated and profound poet who is unofficially considered a classic of German literature. Johann Peter Hebel was born in Basel in 1761 and died in Karlsruhe in 1826. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of his death, we focus on the poet, theologian, and educator and approach some of his texts. Martina Kuoni, born and raised in Chur, is a Germanist and literature mediator. She offers literary walks in many Swiss cities, moderates author readings, gives lectures, and leads reading circles. www.literaturspur.ch Photo: Ly Allen
