Schöffling & Co.

Right from its very first assortment the mantra at Schöffling & Co has always been: ‘This is real literature!’ Founded in1994 by Klaus und Ida Schöffling as an independent publishing house, Schöffling & Co publishes contemporary literature written by German-language and international authors, including novels, stories and debut works originally written in a variety of languages such as Romanian, Polish and Norwegian. Among the key features of its list are books on the nazi era, and collected editions and re-editions of literary and modern classics  – from Gabriele Tergit to Peter Kurzeck, from Helga M. Novak via Elizabeth Bowen to Ror Wolf. In line with the question, ‘You’re not reading any poetry – so are you mad?’, Schöffling & Co regularly publishes volumes of poetry and its Jahrbuch der Lyrik (‘Poetry annual’).
