Alt Jabel*
In his book Alt Jabel*, Paul Tuttas returns to the place of his child­hood, a small village in northern Germany in the former GDR. The author grew up there in a parish right on the edge of a pine forest. The book cap­tures the fee­ling of returning to a familiar place where, at first glance, not much has changed. In the illus­tra­tions and short stories we can encounter places like the dunes in the middle of the forest, the children's room of the author or the apple tree in front of the family house.

The illus­tra­tions are the result of a graphic experiment, a combination of wood­cut and monto­type printing. The book was pub­lished in an edition limi­ted to 80 copies, of which the first half was pub­lished in German and the second in Czech.
