Berlin publisher focuses on German books in Vietnamese
At the recent International Book Fair in Hanoi, several German
publishers and the Goethe Institute organized a stand with 800
titles. A small Berlin-based firm that focuses on books in
Vietnamese was also there.
Peter Knost is a proud man. He holds up the first two books
published by Vipen Editors, a company he recently founded
with his Vietnamese colleague The Dung. The two are not
newcomers to the world of publishing. Peter Knost used to edit
books for a Berlin-based group of authors from Asia, Africa,
and Latin America, and has worked as a sales representative for
various publishing houses. The Dung is a writer with over half a dozen
books on his list of publications.
The two men are excited about their latest project – books by German
authors translated into Vietnamese.
"Chronik der Wende" about the collapse of East Germany has been
translated into Vietnamese
"The first book is finished," Knost said. "It’s the translation of 'Chronik
der Wende,' almost a non-fiction classic about the collapse of East
Germany. This book can now be read by Vietnamese speakers."
"Chronik der Wende" is a popular retrospective of the period between
the GDR's 40th anniversary in early October 1989 and the free
parliamentary elections in March 1990. The book describes all
important events day by day and illustrates them with photographs
from the time.
Vietnamese know little about German history
