Falschrum Books – Miss Read

Falschrum Books

Falschrum Books is a not-for-profit publisher, founded in 2019 in Berlin. Operating at the intersection of art, literature and research, its goal is to connect languages, discourses, and people, through collaborations between authors and artists of different backgrounds. In particular, Falschrum promotes dialogue between Arab-speaking and Western audiences. To this end, Falschrum specializes in bilingual publications, translating English and German prose and poetry into Arabic, as well as Arabic texts of different genres into European languages.

Beautifully designed, well-made, and illustrated by internationally acclaimed artists, Falschrum books are at the forefront of bilingual publishing.

Falschrum invests every cent that it makes from the sale and distribution of its books into the production of more books, and the organization of events designed to gather Berlin’s diverse communities and cultural trajectories under the banner of art and literature.
