The German Democratic Republic – A Land of Books
Deutsche Demokratische Republik - Ein Land der Bücher
The German Democratic Republic – A Land of Books at Fmovies. The well-known illustrator Werner Klemke uses his drawings to teach the youngest bookworms about the value of reading. Taking this as a starting point, Lotte Thiel presents the GDR as a land of books whose capital is Leipzig. Figures and images from the 1971 International Book Art Exhibition underscore the significance accorded to books as a tool for shaping the “socialist personality”.
