This list of books are ONLY the books that have been ranked on the lists that are aggregated on this site. This is not a comprehensive list of all books by this author.

1. 1. Herr Und Hund

   

   A wry, intimate vignette following a respectable middle-aged man on a walk with his dog, using their shared outing to explore the small rituals and vanities of bourgeois life; the narrative alternates gentle humor and quiet melancholy as it observes the mutual dependence, shifting roles, and unspoken companionship between master and pet while subtly satirizing social manners and the fragile dignity of everyday existence.

2. 2. Die Vertauschten Köpfe

   

   A mythic tale in which two very different men — one sensual and strong, the other intellectual and reflective — become rivals for the same woman's love, and a supernatural mishap swaps their heads, forcing everyone to confront unsettling questions of identity, the relation between body and soul, and the limits of reason and passion; the story follows the comic and then tragic consequences of the exchange as social, moral, and metaphysical conflicts come to a head.

3. 3. Joseph In ägypten

   

   A richly imagined retelling of the biblical episode in which a wronged young man survives slavery and imprisonment in a foreign land, resists moral compromise, interprets dreams and through shrewd insight and administrative genius rises to become the ruler who fashions Egypt’s response to impending famine; the narrative uses the Egyptian setting and the protagonist’s inward life to explore fate, providence, power and the tensions between mythic destiny and human responsibility, blending psychological depth, philosophical reflection and epic storytelling into a luminous reworking of an ancient story.

4. 4. Joseph, Der Ernährer

   

   A richly detailed, psychologically acute retelling of the biblical Joseph narrative that follows Joseph’s ascent from captive to Egypt’s chief administrator, his interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams, and the pragmatic management of a devastating famine. The novel dwells on themes of providence, familial betrayal and reconciliation, political power and ethical responsibility, blending mythic scope with philosophical reflection and historical color as Joseph secures sustenance for Egypt and his kin. The prose emphasizes inner motives and cultural encounters, turning a familiar story into a meditation on leadership, destiny, and human compassion.
5. 5. Der Junge Joseph

   

6. 6. Die Geschichten Jaakobs

   

   A richly imagined retelling of the patriarchal saga that transforms terse biblical episodes into a novelistic epic centered on Jacob: his rivalry with Esau, his cunning and exile under Laban, the tangled marriages to Leah and Rachel, the dreams and spiritual struggles that shape his destiny, and the birth and rivalries of his sons. The narrative enlarges scripture with psychological insight, mythic resonance and learned reflection, examining family loyalty, deception, fate and the origins of a people while mixing irony, erudition and deep sympathy for its characters.

7. 7. Konigliche Hoheit

   

   Set in a small German principality, the novel follows an idealistic young prince who, torn between dynastic obligations and personal longing, becomes involved with a spirited woman from the bourgeois world; their relationship provokes social and familial tensions that expose the comic pretensions of court life and probe themes of duty, identity, and the uneasy clash between archaic monarchy and modern bourgeois values.
