Michi Strausfeld (Germany)
The Empress of Galapagos
Michi Strausfeld, a long-standing mediator of Latin American literature and a profound connoisseur of the continent, presents her new book The Empress of Galapagos. In it, she draws a fascinating panorama of German traces in Latin America – from early adventurers, Jesuits, and researchers to Jewish émigrés and their National Socialist persecutors, as well as dreamers and fortune seekers. With narrative power and historical depth, she tells of encounters, missteps, and visions – a vivid cultural history spanning five centuries.
