    About “Weihnachten”

    A collection of poems for the holidays, suitable for reading aloud under the tree as well as for quiet hours in Advent. The verses range from Goethe to Rilke and include voices of the present day.

    Writers in the collection include Christian Morgenstern, Hermann Hesse and Theodor Fontane, as well as Sarah Kirsch, Erich Fried and Rose Ausländer, alongside many other writers. The selection makes a good gift and combines festive tones with quiet, thoughtful verses.

    The volume belongs to the series “Haller,” where it is the 18th volume. It fits into Advent just as well as a gift for someone who appreciates a festive mood.

    Who is “Weihnachten” for?

    For readers who enjoy poetry for the holidays, whether alone or with family. Anyone who wants to read classics and modern voices side by side will find a varied selection here. The volume also suits people who are looking for a gift with substance.

    When is “Weihnachten” the best read?

    During Advent and on the Christmas days, when you sit together in the evening and read individual poems aloud. The verses are short enough to explore in a single evening, and many also work well for reading aloud to children.

    In what order should you read the “Haller” series?

    After “Verlassene Orte” (volume 7) come “Ins Auge blicken” (volume 8), “Halloween” (volume 9), “Verborgene Fantasien” (volume 10), “Lebensräume” (volume 11), “Das Staunen der Welt – Visionen” (volume 12), “Schuld” (volume 13), “Schwimmbad 1967” (volume 14), “Alte Freunde” (volume 15), “Wahre Kunst” (volume 16) and “Spam!” (volume 17). “Weihnachten” is the 18th volume, followed by “Up, up and away: Ich will fliegen” (volume 19) and “Ich feier das!” (volume 20).
