Meike Hoffmann

In a time like our own, where a young generation feels a great need to change our way of living, thinking and organizing ourselves, the publication on the artist group Brücke feels particularly relevant. These young artists also wanted to renew art and life in the German Imperial Empire and have ever since inspired younger generations of artists.In bright paintings with simplified forms and large fields of color they expressed rather their feelings than an external reality. They were interested in topics like man and nature, the naked body, portraits, self-portraits, the merging of life and art and life in the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. The catalogue discusses among others how we today perceive and can take on challenging themes like inspiration from African and Oceanian colonial cultural objects and of very young female models.

She saw the abyss and the shadow and in years of labour she has fought her way into the light.Her unconditional will to travel the world, the inner urge to help people in the same situation, has made her healed so that she can heal today. "The Nomad of the Star-Children" is the title she chose to tell of her life. Honest, humorous, authentic, moving. She has not chosen a fancy title, because you are supposed to read this book because of its content and not because of an outward farce that promises more than it actually delivers."The Nomad of the Star-Children" is Meike's first book.Her next project, a children's book, is currently being written.

In Die Nomadin der Sternenkinder erz hlt Meike Hoffmann die Geschichte eines gew hnlichen Menschenlebens mit einer ungew hnlichen Geschichte. Ihre Geschichte. Sie ist keine Celebrity, keine Bestsellerautorin, keine ber hmte Musikerin. Doch etwas macht sie und ihr Leben besonders und dieses Buch lesenswert: Sie hatte den Mut, ihrem Herzen zu folgen. Meike Hoffmann beschreibt, welche H rden genommen werden m ssen und wie hart die Entscheidung ist, wenn man im blichen Sinne alles hat: Genug Geld, Karriere und offensichtlich keine Sorgen. Doch das Leben hatte andere Pl ne mit ihr: Durch schwerste Depressionen, Panikattacken und Klinikaufenthalte wurde sie der Mensch, der sie heute ist. Sie sah den Abgrund und den Schatten und hat sich in jahrelanger Arbeit den Weg ins Licht erk mpft. Ihr unbedingter Wille, die Welt zu bereisen, der innere Drang, Menschen in gleicher Situation zu helfen, hat sie heil werden lassen, damit sie heute heilen kann. Die Nomadin der Sternenkinder ist der Titel, den sie gew hlt hat, um von ihrem Leben zu erz hlen. Ehrlich, humorvoll, authentisch, bewegend. Sie hat keinen fancy Titel ausgew hlt, da Sie dieses Buch wegen des Inhalts lesen sollen und nicht wegen einer u eren Farce, die mehr verspricht als sie letztendlich liefert. Die Nomadin der Sternenkinder ist Meikes erstes Buch.
