What We Inherit
“You want to know where you come from. You want to know who fathered you. You want to know who he was. What he did. How he lived. I wonder though: Will any of this tell you anything about who you think you are?”What we inherit is a tight-knit, enthralling novel about home and family, love and desire, remembering and forgetting; about the boundless scope there is to reinvent our own history.

Axel Hacke
Little King December
"From delight to melancholy, this fairy tale for adults and children is full of profound meaning and light-hearted wit, full of charm and shrewd insight. Michael Sowa's enigmatic illustrations reflect the enchanting atmosphere of the work. Perhaps everyone could use a little king and a whole lot of dreams, all neatly packaged."

Axel Hacke
Nobody ever listens to me
Anyone who appreciates lifes trials and tribulations - and wants to know how to hold their own against the spiralling demands of commodity culture and their fellow men - should certainly listen to Axel Hacke. "Nobody ever listens to me" is the second volume of Axel Hackes reports on his punishing, nerve-wracking, mad, perfectly normal life as a man.Axel Hacke
Small Guide to Child-Rearing
"All that Axel Hacke has done is record the daily havoc in which three quite normal and nice children propel their liberal and loving parents between fury, humiliation and a few moments of blissful pride. Front-line reporting from the playroom: almost on a par with the cult book The Little Prince." (Der Stern)
