Gottfried Schäfer celebrates his 90th birthday with a new volume of poetry Half Dreams”

A new literary work enters the stage: Dr. Gottfried Schäfer, the talented 90-year-old author, is launching his third volume of poetry, “Half Dreams,” on December 13th. The celebratory book publication will take place at 10.30 a.m. in the city bookstore at Schrannenstrasse 4, which will certainly attract many literature enthusiasts. Schäfer thus presents himself not only as an experienced poet, but also as a tireless creator of verbal art who flirted with poetry all his life.

It's not just words that are captured on paper: the new volume of poetry comprises around 90 pages and captivates readers with around 60 poems. Some of these works are dedicated to moving memories and honor the author's wife, Mechthild, who died in 2020. Nature, which has always been an important source of inspiration for Schäfer, is also reflected in many poems. Anyone interested can purchase the book for 20 euros and embark on an emotional journey through the author's words. The cover was designed by Schäfer's son Albrecht, which gives the work a very personal touch.

Gottfried Schäfer's literary career

Schäfer's creative work has its origins in his youth and has intensified particularly since the age of 75. This clearly shows that writing is a kind of elixir of life for him. With each poem he brings out a piece of his soul and creates a connection with the readers. His first book was published many years ago, and since then he has produced numerous works, both in poetry and other literary styles.

His literary heritage goes back a long way, as can be seen from the various editions and publications on book markets. An example of this is a work from 1977 that was published by Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt and shows slight signs of wear. The various editions and editions of Schäfer's works can be found at booksellers, although some copies are clearly used, while others are available in very good condition. An overview of his works can be found, for example, on Booklooker.

The book launch of “Half Dreams” is imminent and the anticipation is palpable. It is an opportunity to meet the author in person, feel his passion for poetry and maybe even hear a personal anecdote or two. “Half Dreams” not only promises to be a pleasure to read, but also offers a unique insight into the work of a true word artist.

The December 13 event will be a memorable day for book lovers and a special moment in Dr. Gottfried Schäfer. If you don't want to miss the opportunity, you should mark the date in your calendar and visit the city bookstore. It will be worth it – there is something to it!
