„
good publishing house grows like a tree," was the celebratory message of the HOFFMANN UND CAMPE Verlag on its 200th anniversary in 1981. Its early days were marked
by famous German authors like Heinrich Heine, Friedrich Hebbel, Ludwig B�rne and
others from the "Junges Deutschland" circle of young and rebellious writers. This
house, steeped in tradition, was first bought in part and then in its entirety
by Kurt Ganske in 1941 and 1950, and is now the core of the publishing group's
book activities. What the legendary publisher
Julius Campe once cultivated still characterizes the present program. HOFFMANN UND CAMPE is a large, successful publisher of popular fiction and non-fiction
in Germany, promoting the literary works of both renowned and up and coming young
writers. All of Siegfried Lenz' works, for example, have been published by HOFFMANN UND CAMPE since 1951.
The publisher's range of fiction work is further
distinguished by authors such as Doris Lessing, V. S. Naipaul,
Irina Korschunow, Karl Heinz Ott, Patricia Cornwall, Milena Agus or Wolf Haas. In the non-fiction program
are such renowned names as Stefan Aust, Joachim Bauer, Hellmuth Karasek or Jürgen Leinemann.
