The Carl Hanser publishing house represents diversity that is second to none: ranging from contemporary authors to literary classics, and featuring children’s and young adults’ books as well as an informative, thought-provoking non-fiction programme, Hanser’s list is both stimulating and inviting.

German-language authors remain the cornerstone of our fiction list: Herta Müller, Arno Geiger, Wilhelm Genazino, Navid Kermani, Thomas Lehr, Norbert Gstrein, Fatma Aydemir, Monika Helfer, Anja Kampmann, and many others, represent our diverse and impressive range of contemporary literature. At the same time, Hanser explores all kinds of subjects with its well-founded contemporary non-fiction programme.

This includes works by the biographers Rüdiger Safranski, historical accounts by Karl Schlögel and Philip Blom and philosophical reflections by Peter Bieri. History, politics, current debates, society, cultural studies and nature are the focal points of the Hanser’s non-fiction list.
