Summer reading pleasure: Ehinger bookseller recommends her favorites
In summer everyone longs for relaxing moments, and nothing fits better than a good book. In Ehingen's Osiander bookstore, Sabine Behn-Bartl offers her recommendations for the perfect summer reading. This selection is not only entertaining, but also thoughtful and reflects different facets of life.
Memories in the outdoor pool
A work that reminds many readers of their own experiences in the outdoor pool is "Seemann from Seven" by Arno Frank. The story unfolds on a single day and follows seven different characters, all of which visit the local outdoor pool. As Behn-Bartl aptly noted, this could also be the outdoor pool in Ehingen. The story conveys the smell of sunscreen and freshly brewed coffee, which creates a pleasant summer atmosphere.
Insights into the human psyche
An important aspect of reading is the possibility of thinking about your own life decisions. The novel “25 Last Summer” by Stephan Schäfer invites you to this. Here the story of a stressed manager is told who takes a break in the country. The unexpected contact with a potato farmer not only offers him an escape from everyday life, but also confronts him with the questions about the real values in life. This reflection can give valuable impulses for readers.
Tension and thrill
For lovers of tension and thrill, the thriller "You can hear you" by Freida McFadden is just the thing. In history, the student Millie Calloway tries to reveal the secret of a sealed room in the house of her employers. This forbidden curiosity leads you on dangerous paths and offers readers breathless tension. Here, too, the author manages to captivate the audience with unexpected twists
Ethical questions through hunting romanticism
Another, thoughtful book is "Trophy" by Gaea Schoeters. This action follows an American millionaire who chases extraordinary animals. However, the planned hunting trip to Africa brings moral conflicts into play when it witness the brutal killing of a rhino. This book asks essential questions about dealing with nature and the people in it and thus achieves a profound effect. Behn-Bartl aptly describes it as a reading experience that "shakes and spit out" the reader.
The commitment of the bookshop in Ehingen shows how literature can connect to human experiences and helps to address critical issues. With these recommendations, summer time is not only an opportunity to relax, but also to deal with important life questions and values.
