Silhouette Literatur international was a German-language literary magazine.
history
On January 1st, 1980, the literary magazine Silhouette Literatur was founded internationally by the writer Tilly Boesche-Zacharow . Together with the Berlin publisher Gerhardt Stoedtner, she published five issues up to September 1, 1980, after which they were separated. Further editions were then published by Tilly Boesche-Zacharow from Israel, now in "Mathilde and Norbert Boesche Verlag, Berlin-Haifa".
The volume of the journal grew to 60 pages over the years. The initial price of 2.50 DM for 20 pages had to be increased to 10.00 DM. Nevertheless, the roughly 250 subscribers scattered around the world were not enough to cover the costs. After the printing material for No. 25 was lost in the mail from Germany to Israel, the publisher brought out the 26th and final issue in December 1989.
The follow-up journal Silhouette dealt primarily with the introduction of the members of the Association of German-Language Writers of Israel . It was also discontinued after five issues.
content
The origin lay in Boesche's focus on the attitude: the unknown poet does not have to remain unknown . Their processing of otherwise unnoticed manuscripts resulted in a staff of over a hundred authors from all over the world, including literary greats like Schalom Ben-Chorin , Alice Schwarz-Gardos and Meir Faerber.
Each edition of the Silhouette had its own topic. The last page was reserved for a reference to a humanitarian institution. All of the employees made their contributions free of charge.
Others
The Berliner Morgenpost ruled on November 21, 1981: “… a magic garden. Not only the illustrations with paper cutouts give SILHOUETTE a touch of romance. There is also a magical conspiracy against the sobriety of our time… ”. The then Berlin Senator for Culture Dietger Pforte praised them in his report on Berlin's cultural world The literary situation of West Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s .
