An evening full of linguistic art: Sandra Altmann reads in Traunstein
In the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche, Sandra Altmann unfolds the reading atmosphere of her historical novels Summer in the Valley and Flowing Water: a literary experience between alpine panorama, village myths, and the dawn of modernity. Voice, rhythm, and precise language art bring characters and historical events unforgettable close.
Literary Time Travels: From Superstition to Electricity
Summer in the Valley takes us to the summer of 1899: A mountain village in Chiemgau, an unresolved death case, a child as a witness – Altmann's narrative voice connects elements of the historical novel genre with psychological precision. Flowing Water jumps to the year 1918 at Lake Walchen, where the power plant is being built: Progress, conflicts, and moral tension ignite a strong narrative about community and change.
Style, Tone, and Atmosphere
Altmann's prose is clear and vivid: short sentences, finely placed nuances, a language that makes landscapes and mentalities audible. In the author encounter, motifs such as faith, superstition, belief in technology, and social order gain concrete tonal colors – an evening that makes literary quality visible and audible.
Work and Context Knowledge
Both novels have been published by the Munich Volk Verlag. Summer in the Valley (2023) unfolds a dense village panorama; Flowing Water (2024) links the creation of the Walchen power plant with the upheavals of a village community.
