“A good book is like a good friend.”
Proverbially. Literally, we go even further.
Because reading is our joy, books are our life.
This is why we will surround you with books.
However, we want to share our passion in p

With you. By friends (of good literature) for friends
(of good literature). Thus, we cordially invite you
into the Sonnenburg Literary Salon!
