Stefan Schomann takes Landshut on the trail of the wild horses

When the banks of the Isar merge in the imagination with the endless Chinese steppe, a literary journey of great narrative power begins. On October 15, 2026, author and journalist Stefan Schomann will be a guest at the Oberpaur fashion house in Landshut, presenting his book In Search of the Wild Horses.

An Odyssey between Steppe, Silk Road, and Isar

At the center of the reading are the Przewalski wild horses, a species whose story resembles a fable while also recounting loss, perseverance, and successful species protection. Schomann traces their tracks through the Eurasian steppe, connecting natural history with political, cultural, and human encounters.

Literary Reportage with a Cosmopolitan Perspective

Stefan Schomann works as a freelance author and journalist. His reports, essays, and feuilletons have been published in GEO, DIE ZEIT, stern, and the Frankfurter Rundschau, among others. His literary style combines precise research with sensual landscape descriptions, cultural-historical context, and a marked linguistic attentiveness.

In his work about the wild horses, this narrative art takes the reader from Munich to Beijing, from European cultural history to the Mongolian habitats of the animals. The reading promises to be much more than a traditional book presentation: it opens a space for questions about the relationship between humans, animals, and nature.

Species Protection as a Story of Friendship and Diplomacy

The Przewalski horses also embody a German-Chinese history where scientific exchange, diplomacy, and joint engagement play a crucial role. Schomann narrates this development as a cultural-historical research and as a compelling success story of modern nature conservation.

It is precisely in this that the literary quality of the evening lies: The reading intertwines documentary accuracy with narrative tension. Voices, images, and impressions from the landscapes along the Silk Road create a world where animal history, world politics, and personal travel experience intersect.

A Unique Reading Atmosphere in the Heart of Landshut

The event takes place in the day bar on the second floor of the Oberpaur fashion house. The intimate atmosphere provides the perfect setting for a direct encounter with the author and an evening where language, voice, and literary observation are at the forefront.

Conclusion: An Author Encounter with a Broad Perspective

Visitors can expect an exciting, informative, and surprising reading about wild horses, the Silk Road, international relations, and the future of species protection. Those who experience literature as a connection between travel narrative, nature observation, and cultural discourse will find an impressive literary experience that evening. Admission is free, according to the event announcement.
