Details

The novel booklet series The 30 Pfennig-Roman had a somewhat strange-sounding title, but it is still interesting. Numerous wild west, adventure and detective novels appeared here, which have become classics of the genre today. In addition, Der 30 Pfennig-Roman was one of the relatively rare issue series of the 1930s, in which translations were published again and again. In addition to crime novel classics, e.g. by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers, westerns by Americans such as W. C. Tuttle have also appeared. The majority of the texts, however, were written by German authors, with some authors, such as Alfons Zech, using several different pseudonyms. In the higher number range of the series, the editors sometimes used texts from the 19th century. For example, texts by Charles Sealsfield - under the German-sounding real name of the author, Karl Postl - or by Theodor Fontane have appeared. Exciting, adventurous entertainment was always in the foreground of the plot; Topics typical of the time, which were repeated in numerous other series of the time, only play a minor role here. Many of the texts were also published in book editions (for reasons of space, I have dispensed with corresponding references or specifying original titles). New editions of some texts were also printed in the years after the Second World War. After the Second World War, a series appeared with The Upward Roman, which could be described as a continuation of The 30 Pfennig-Roman. The booklets published from 1936 had a size of 94 to 96 pages and a format of 15 x 22.5 cm. The external appearance of the booklets changed over time. Most of the titles had black and white still photos from films of the time, the last numbers only had drawn covers of a rather lower quality. At least some numbers were reprinted.
