Tian is Chinese for sky. The corresponding Chinese character combines the symbols for horizon and great to form a new symbol: the greatest. Thus Tian symbolizes everything humans cannot influence, anything that is beyond sheer rationalism. Artists often draw their inspiration from a source they cannot describe. Tian Books aspire to take the viewer and reader into this world.

Gabriele Golissa: ‘Qigong’

An inspiring journey of discovery. China today is often only seen as the country of unfair trading practices, product piracy, environmental pollution, and violation of human rights. While it is certainly facing multifaceted challenges, China is also a country with an ancient history and a rich culture. Gabriele Golissa uses Qigong, the ancient Chinese method to health, to discover and explore a world often unfamiliar and foreign but nonetheless fascinating. Fully bilingual (German/English).
