Since tea has come out from the hulls of the early merchant fleets and has won friends and gourmets across the globe, having tea is admitted into narratives and poetry. There are the most multifarious frames for encounters and dialogues, having a cup of tea outlines social affiliations in a few words, it describes varying moods full of nuances. It would seem that the stimulant beverage tea, which bolsters us up by use of tranquility, has created its own library. – Here it is!

The anthology »Das Fenster in der Literatur / Eine Geschichte der freien Sicht« is published in company with the second largest European producer of windows Siegenia-Frank KG in Siegen. The book is used at the specialist fair for fenestration in March 2000 with a great success of 5.000 copies sold.
A real pleasure in this volume is the philosophical support of the contribution about the look through an in the window: Each text is accompanied by a little essay that attaches the literary aspect.
