From George Orwell to Football: This website presents many books and articles which are concerned with the relationship between English-speaking and German-speaking cultures. On this side you will find some English texts covering a wide range of topics, from Eric Ambler, the foremost political thriller writer; to Stuart Hood, a true European spirit; to Philosophy Football, a unique adventure; to a comparison between two insular states, namely England and Switzerland. On news you will find topic reports, some of it in English, and in my bookcase there is a wide range of books to buy.
