When Germans are looking for something special and exotic, they travel to distant countries. All they had to do was look over the fence, just turn the corner, and they would make the most incredible discoveries. Because in the middle of Germany you can find countless paradises, join in strange dances or attend a coronation. It is amazing what secret world comes to light when you approach the Germans with such loving patience and friendly curiosity, as Wladimir Kaminer does. And because he also has a special sense of humor, he observes as many things that are amusing as they are astonishing. His stories about the secret lives of Germans open your eyes to completely unknown sides of the country and its people.
Wladimir Kaminer was born in Moscow in 1967. He trained as a sound engineer for theater and radio and then studied dramaturgy at the Moscow Theater Institute. He has lived in Berlin since 1990. He regularly publishes texts in various newspapers and magazines and organizes events such as his now internationally famous “Russian disco”. With the collection of stories of the same name and numerous other books, he became one of the most popular and sought-after authors in Germany. Wladimir Kaminer's new book “The Secret Life of the Germans” will be published on August 27, 2025.
