1. Rowohlt Berlin Burning Crown
A dragon rider does not love – especially not her dragon. This is the beginning of the new major romantic fantasy trilogy by Spiegel bestseller author Marie Niehoff. Featuring an exclusive colored edge only in the first edition! In the army of Eldeya, the death penalty applies for three offenses: betrayal, desertion, and relationships between riders and dragon shifters. After Yessa's shifter dies in an ambush, she is assigned a new one: Cassim. The very man who knows her greatest secret and could destroy everything Yessa has built her life around. Cassim initially meets her with rejection and hatred, but the more time they spend together, the closer they become. Against all reason, trust grows between them – along with forbidden feelings. But Yessa is not the only one with secrets. While she struggles with the question of whether to break the third rule, Cassim has already broken the first.
2. Rowohlt Berlin Rein Gold
Starting from the great dialogue between the godfather Wotan and his favorite daughter Brünnhilde in Act 3 of "Die Walküre," Elfriede Jelinek reinterprets the events of Richard Wagner's monumental "Ring" cycle and extends them into our present. The focal point is the significance of gold and money, which drive everything and propel nearly all actions. Their far-reaching influence spans from the struggle for the Nibelung treasure in mythological times to Karl Marx's theses in "Das Kapital," which was developed almost parallel to Wagner's "Ring," and up to today's banking crisis. In a sprawling stream of thought, while always staying close to Wagner's original text, Jelinek also touches on current political phenomena in "Rein Gold," such as the questionable financial dealings of federal presidents or the brutal murders committed by the Zwickau Nazi terror cell.

5. Rowohlt Berlin Bambiland
Bambiland and Babel, two theatrical texts about the Iraq War, specifically how it was reflected in the media. Bambiland was created in parallel to the war, as a transcript of an "embedded writer." In Babel, the observed events are then reflected upon and presented like a Bach fugue.
6. Rowohlt Berlin Der Fortführer
A soul discovered by silver microphones in its hollow, a blood beech dreaming of dancing and already swaying into its dances, dancing the dances within itself. Arlecchino, who starts a quarrel with the entire back house, with each individual resident in every single window, proud of his fabulous penchant for conflict. It is the tradition of the romantic fragment, as it emerged between Hamann, Novalis, and Friedrich Schlegel, to which Botho Strauss connects in his new book. He has not written anything comparable before, never strayed so far from narrative, contemplation, and criticism as in these short, vivid texts. And from this formal novelty arise new insights. They all revolve around the uncommunicable, around the poetic moment that no intention could bring forth, around the withdrawal of meaning, which is - surprisingly, relieving.
7. Rowohlt Berlin Erzählte Welt
A literary history of the present, from 1989 to today. Steffen Martus paints a compelling portrait of our time.
8. Rowohlt Berlin Twelve Months of Romance
A whole year with KYSS, a whole year full of romance. In spring, kisses taste like the first sunshine, in summer like vanilla ice cream and long days at the beach. In autumn, candles scented with pumpkin spice are lit, and in winter, the fireplace crackles softly while enjoying hot cocoa in front of the Christmas tree. The year is full of changes, but one thing must not be missing in any month – the right reading material. Twelve German-speaking authors have written a fantastic story for each month of the year.

9. Rowohlt Berlin Signalstörung
A boy and a girl play soccer on the Faroe Islands and hardly notice how they fall in love with each other. A father suffers a heart attack while his daughter tries to save a spider on the balcony. A guy wakes up with his bike lock around his neck, pieces together the events of the previous night, and is forever cured of pub life. And no one has captured the absurdity of Hartz IV quite like this: "To receive benefits from the job center, you must suffer. A concept like a salt plaster." It’s about love, farewells, Berlin, and the whole world, this crazy pearl that someone has thrown at our feet. Kirsten Fuchs has long captivated her audience as a reading stage star, she writes plays, and her much-praised novels tackle the big questions of existence in a casual tone. Now, you can experience Kirsten Fuchs as a brilliant, versatile storyteller.
