Since its foundation in 1981, Pendragon is known for its range of, often literary, crime novels – German originals as well as translations from e.g. America –, which deal with highly charged and often historical topics. But Pendragon can do more: The publishing house also offers intensive and well-structured novels that bring the reader closer to recent (German) history. Next to this, lyric poetry and lyrical prose are another small part of the varied program of Pendragon.
