Doris Lessing - Das goldene Notizbuch ‘The Golden Notebook’ is a 1962 novel by British Nobel Prize-winning author Doris Lessing. The writer Anna Wulf keeps the record of her life, by writing four notebooks, colored black (of Anna’s experience in Central Africa, before and during WWII, which inspired her own bestselling novel), red (of her experience as a member of the Communist Party), yellow (an ongoing novel that is being written based on the painful ending of Anna’s own love affair), and blue (Anna’s personal journal where she records her memories, dreams, and emotional life.). In a fifth, gold-colored notebook she attempts to tie them all together. The edition of the Büchergilde is a hardback that comes without a cover, as the design is printed directly on the linen. Anja Sicka developed a concept for the spine, that depicts the content and colour scheme of the novel. The charcoal illustration on the front and back of the cover mirrors the sometimes dark atmosphere of the book. The typography inside taken from the edition by Hofmann und Campe.
