The ars vivendi Verlag is a book and calendar publisher founded in 1988 and based in Cadolzburg in Central Franconia . The name is derived from Latin and means art of living .
history
The publishing house was founded in 1988 by Norbert Treuheit (* 1956) and Friedrich Kehrer (* 1959). After the “critical pub guides” in the series Between Sekt and Selters , the first fiction titles followed in 1990. In that year Norbert Treuheit also took over the position of sole managing director and publisher. From 1991 the program was expanded to include calendars, which regularly receive national and international awards. Photographers include Isolde Ohlbaums , Walter Vogels and Susanne Casper-Zielonkas.
With Helmut Haberkamm and later Fitzgerald Kusz , Franconian dialect poets were added from 1992. The culinary division has also been part of the regular program since 1996. The best-known cookbook authors / illustrators are likely to be Léa Linster and Peter Gaymann , who jointly have the titles The yellow of the egg and wine must go! published. Her latest cookbook Wein muss rein received the gold medal of the Gastronomic Academy of Germany in 2016. The work of the English poet has been published by ars vivendi in a new translation by Frank Günther since 2000 .
Since 2005, ars vivendi has also been publishing detective novels, especially Frankish thrillers (by Jan Beinßen, Dirk Kruse and Tommie Goerz, among others ). Gift items are also part of the program. For several years now, the publisher has been promoting young literary talents in the region with the Franconian Crime Prize in cooperation with the Nürnberger Nachrichten .
