Synopsis "Everyone, Wherever you Are, Come one Step Closer: Questions About god "

'When your grandpa was in hospital, he asked me one night to promise him that, when he had gone from us, I would teach you Islam - our Islam: the Islam I grew up with... In that dark, impersonal room, he was thinking of you.' This is why one father began to teach his daughter night after night not only about his own religion, but about that which unites all believers, about God and death, about love and the infinity that surrounds us. This highly personal book is not only a magical literary masterpiece, but also a rich resource of knowledge, and this because Navid Kermani dares to venture into the darkness in order to give expression to our confusion. And because his way of talking, his openness, his knowledge which derives from his immersion in two cultures, are so unique, so light and so deep.

Navid Kermani (Siegen, Germany, November 27, 1967) is one of the most influential writers, essayists, and orientalists in Europe, son of Iranian immigrants and a key figure in the dialogue between Western and Islamic cultures. PhD in Islamic Studies, he studied Philosophy and Theatre Studies in Cologne, Cairo, and Bonn, and has taught and lectured at international universities. His work deeply explores themes such as Islam, spirituality, European identity, and intercultural coexistence, always from a humanistic, critical, and reflective perspective. A regular contributor to prominent media such as Die Zeit, Spiegel, and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, he currently resides in Cologne.

Awarded with prestigious prizes such as the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade (2015), the Kleist Prize, the Joseph Breitbach Prize, the Hannah Arendt Prize, and the Thomas Mann Prize (2024), Kermani is considered a bridge between East and West for his intellectual rigor and literary ability. Among his most recognized works are Gott ist schön (God is Beautiful), Zwischen Koran und Kafka (Between the Quran and Kafka), Einbruch der Wirklichkeit, and Between Us Fear (Entlang den Gräben), books in which he merges scholarship, politics, and narrative sensitivity, offering a committed perspective on the understanding between peoples and religions.
