Stephan Schäfer: From media manager to bestselling author
Stephan Schäfer, one of Germany's most influential media managers, has made an impressive new start with his debut novel 25 letzte Sommer (25 Last Summers) - and has delighted readers and critics alike. His journey from editor-in-chief to CEO and finally to bestselling author is unique and inspiring.
From media professional to literature
Stephan Schäfer (*1974) has played a decisive role in shaping the German media landscape. After graduating from the Axel Springer School of Journalism in Berlin, his career led him to Gruner + Jahr via the Bauer Media Group. As Chief Content Officer and later CEO of RTL Germany, he played a leading role in the merger of RTL and Gruner + Jahr to make the company globally competitive. In the summer of 2022, Schäfer decided to break new ground - and wrote a book about the big questions in life.
25 letzte Sommer - A story about the fundamental things in life
In his novel, two very different men meet at a turning point in their lives: the restless narrator and the thoughtful potato farmer Karl. Their conversations at the kitchen table of an old farmhouse open doors to existential questions: How do we organise a fulfilled life? Why do we often postpone our dreams? And how do we learn to focus on what's important? Stephan Schäfer's book takes us on a journey full of insights that address our longing for balance. Critics have hailed the book as ‘magical’ (Die Zeit) and ‘encouraging’ (NDR Kulturjournal).
