Literature star Martina Hefter: Price rain for her global success!

Wiesbaden, Deutschland - The brilliant career of the German author Martina Hefter continues! On December 6, 2024, her celebrated work "Hey, good morning, how are you?" awarded the renowned Prix Grand Continent. This award, for which your Verlag Klett-Cotta is now on everyone's lips, promotes translations of important European novels with 100,000 euros. The literary success seamlessly joins an impressive list of honors, including the German Book Prize and the Literature Prize of the state capital Wiesbaden, as reported by the APA news agency.

love requests and European longings combined

What makes Martina's work so special? According to the jury, it impresses with the masterful link between two central desires: the pursuit of love and the urge for a united European identity, both of which represent the two sides of an almost magical, ‘unrifordable’ concept - longing. In a literary style that cleverly explores the boundaries between virtual and real world, the book captivates readers.

The resonance of the novel is overwhelming: 150,000 copies of the German original have already been sold, and the translation rights were awarded for a total of eleven languages, including English, Spanish, Italian and Turkish. These successes show not only the popularity of the work, but also the relevance of booklers in an increasingly globalized and complex world. While the prices continue to bubble, Martina Hefter's literary performance remains undisputed and remarkable!
