"Rhenus (Rhine)" as a book category would gather works that center on the Rhine River—its landscapes, cities, histories, cultures and myths—whether in fiction or nonfiction. It would include travelogues and guidebooks tracing the river’s towns and vineyards; historical studies of trade, industry, and military campaigns that used the Rhine as a boundary and artery of Europe; literary and poetic responses to its scenery and folklore (Lorelei, Roman and medieval legacies); contemporary social or environmental reportage about life along its banks; and novels and short stories that use the river as a setting or symbolic force. The label evokes both the ancient name "Rhenus" and the Rhine’s role as a transnational cultural spine, so books in this category tend to explore cross-border identity, commerce, ecology and the layered pasts of central and western Europe.
