Description
Danzig/Gdansk in Poland, with its history characterized by different cultures, is not only the setting literary place of the works of Günter Grass, but also many other German and Polish writers from baroque times to the present. With eight walks the Literary Travel Guide presents scenes from novels and poems by Joseph von Eichendorff, Johanna Schopenhauer, Alfred Döblin, Stanisława Przybyszewska, Stefan Chwin, Paweł Huelle and many others. They also lead to less visited areas of the city, which is also known as center of the Hanseatic League and Solidarność as well as a symbol of the post-war order of Versailles, the outbreak of war in 1939 and the Polish reconstruction of its old town after the Second World War.
