"Our Bests" - The Germans' 50 Favourite Books (voted by the Public)

Add to my lists | Print this list

This is a definite list, so please don’t change it.
Two of the books are not that famous outside Germany, thus, I couldn’t find the English versions. Since I didn’t want to translate the titles on my own, I decided to take the German titles.
