Judith Hermann's debut 'Sommerhaus, später' became one of the greatest literary successes of recent decades. 'Nichts als Gespenster' is her second collection of stories. Judith Hermann tells the tales of Jonina and Magnus, Owen and Sikka, Ruth and Raoul, set in Norway and Nevada, Prague, Karlovy Vary, and Iceland. These stories explore love and travel, and how love and travel are wondrously similar. With great literary mastery, Judith Hermann unfolds her own irresistible pull and powerful charm. Some of these stories have been adapted for film. Judith Hermann is one of the most widely read authors in contemporary literature.
