Literary books of hours
Books of hours have a tradition dating back to the late Middle Ages. They were mostly artistically designed books that served as "brief spiritual edification" and were aimed at readers who did not have time to pray or go to church. As we modern people feel exactly the same way, we have created the special book series "Literary Books of Hours". In it, we invite clever minds to inspire us with their ideas, insights and findings in a high-quality table book. Have fun with it!Â

Peter Prange
All memory is present
"Rarely have I stumbled into a book as accidentally as this one. But hardly any other book has proved so necessary for me."Â
For his 70th birthday bestselling author Peter Prange a very special gift to all book enthusiasts: in his richly illustrated richly illustrated book of hours "All memory is the present", he tells his own life story. And his very personal insights into human existence between becoming and passing away.
He also gives an insight into his private photo album - of his childhood in the Sauerland son of a bed dealer to the grave reserved for him reserved grave site in the famous Tübingen city cemetery in close proximity to Hölderlin, Uhland and Walter Jens.
Peter Prange is the great novelist of German and European history. His historical novels such as "Das Bernstein-Amulett", "Unsere wunderbaren Jahre" and "Eine Familie in Deutschland" have sold over three and a half million copies.
"All Memory is Present" is perhaps Peter Prange's most unusual book, and certainly his most personal. In it, the author steps out of the shadow of his work and enters the narrative stage as the protagonist himself: "What was past lives on - in our dreams, in our fears, in our stories. This book is my attempt to make some of these traces visible to myself. In remembering and telling. Of becoming and passing away. To visualize how the person I am became the person I was."
An enchanting, thought-provoking book. Not only for the many fans of Peter Prange's historical novels, but for everyone who appreciates wise thoughts with a good pinch of humor .
