About this Event
Richard Adams • Watership Down
This novel will take you on an emotional journey and leave you thinking about courage, community, and what it truly means to be free.
Filled with unforgettable characters, thrilling adventures, and a fascinating rabbit culture full of myths and legends, Watership Down is much more than a story about animals. It explores powerful themes of freedom, leadership, loyalty, and the search for a place to call home.

This book club is for everyone living in Mannheim who enjoys meeting up and talking about books.
We started in in March 2026 and meet once a month on the weekend in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Our reading list will alternate between English and German books – following a 2 English / 1 German rhythm.
We’ll read both contemporary literature and classics across all genres. The literary level will be medium to demanding, including award-winning titles.
Of course, it’s completely fine if you’d like to participate only in the German or only in the English book discussions – join in whatever way suits you best.
We’re looking forward to meeting you!
