This short chronological survey is fun and informative for people who are "Einsteiger" - i.e., beginners, someone climbing aboard -and for amateurs that are already aboard. From Dante to the present, Katharina Mahrenholtz explains the idea or plot of each of about one hundred books, including a profile of the author. The explanations range from two short paragraphs to one page. They are straightforward without being simplistic. The occasional page is devoted to explaining literature in general and teaching about the literary world: genres, the most published books in history, literary prizes, pseudonyms, lengths of books, famous first lines and so on. The graphics of Dawn Parisi add to the light touch.
