Books to think about: these have changed us

There are books that we read so away – they entertain us, are fun, allow us to disappear into other worlds for a certain time and make us feel good. And there are books that keep us busy even after finishing, that make us think, inspire and move us.

Because in books we not only find imaginative stories and wonderful characters, but also learn a lot about life and ourselves. Not every book changes our lives immediately, but they can be wonderful eye-openers and motivation and open up perspectives on which we might previously would not have come in a dream.

How do people live in other countries, what challenges do they face, how do we manage digitization or what is actually in our food? Regardless of whether it's a captivating novel, a groundbreaking essay or an exciting biography: In the gallery we present books that are well worth reading and that have not let us go so quickly.
