When literature meets tea, memory, and encounter

The evening Meeting Syria in Landshut combines reading, conversation, and culinary impressions into a literary experience with social depth. At the St. Martin parish center, Gerd Hachmöller and Samer Tannous read from their successful series A Syrian Comes to Rotenburg and thereby open up perspectives on migration, everyday experiences, and cultural exchange.

An evening between language and atmosphere

The kickoff with Syrian tea, pastries, and exchange creates a reading atmosphere that does not set distance but generates closeness. Those who understand literary encounters not as mere readings but as a lively dialogue will find an evening that connects personal stories with contemporary conversational culture.

The power of shared storytelling

Gerd Hachmöller is known as a co-author of a SPIEGEL bestseller and columnist; Samer Tannous brings the perspective of arrival, everyday observation, and cultural translation. Together, they form a narrative double voice that intertwines humor, reflection, and social experience. This is precisely where the literary quality of this evening lies: It tells not only of Syria but also of Germany through the lens of conversation.

A place for open questions and new perspectives

The evening starts already at 6:30 PM with tea, pastries, and exchange, the reading begins at 7:00 PM. Admission is free, and registration is not required. Thus, the event is aimed at everyone who sees literature as an invitation to reflect, listen, and continue the conversation. The St. Martin parish center provides a suitable setting with a calm, communal atmosphere.

Conclusion: Literature as a space for encounters

Those who come to Landshut on this evening will not experience a classic author reading, but a cultural conversation with literary significance. Personal insights, a respectful view of Syrian culture, and an author encounter that resonates are expected. This evening is worthwhile for everyone who wants to experience literature live and expand social perspectives.
