An evening full of linguistic art: Sandra Altmann in Traunstein

The budget-conscious literary scene of the region can look forward to an intense literary experience: Book author Sandra Altmann reads at the Kulturforum Klosterkirche Traunstein from her historical novels Talsommer and Triebwasser. In an intimate reading atmosphere, language, history, and the present come together.

Voice and style: Literature between village life and modernity

Altmann's style captivates with precise linguistic artistry, clear imagery, and a confident narrative tone. The reading transports listeners to the Upper Bavaria mountain landscape around 1900, where faith, superstition, and belief in progress collide, bringing characters to life with subtle nuances.

Talsommer: A childhood on the edge of truth

With fine narrative perspective, Talsommer tells the story of young Mizzi, whose gaze exposes the village community. Authentic language, atmospheric density, and literary quality coalesce into a sensory, resonant evening.

Triebwasser: Walchensee, technology, and certainties in flux

Triebwasser illuminates the transition period surrounding the construction of the Walchensee hydroelectric power plant in 1918. The narrative revolves around loyalty, social tensions, and the seduction of modernity – read with a keen ear for rhythm, tone, and the silent breaks of the characters.

Author Encounter: Proximity, conversation, signature

The reading provides an opportunity to meet the author, ask questions from the audience, and – if the schedule allows – have the books signed. An evening that celebrates literature as a shared experience.

Conclusion

Those who want to feel historical novels with contemporary relevance will experience a focused, sonorous reading here: a literary experience between narrative power and cultural context – definitely to be enjoyed live.
