The scientist and writer Andreas F. Kelletat is an exceptional figure. His talent for critical and productive engagement with language, words, and symbols has been demonstrated in numerous lectures and publications. Now, others are writing for and about him. Colleagues, companions, and friends from Germany, Finland, and Europe honor a mediator of German-Finnish literary and cultural relations, a bridge builder to the Baltic region, and a fighter for intercultural work in research and teaching, whose inquiry into the how of intercultural learning always leads to the question of the how of intercultural dialogue. Alongside well-founded research results from literature, language, and translation studies, there are lyrical thoughts and personal memories. The interplay of the texts creates a multifaceted panorama that reflects Kelletat's diverse interests.
