That was so much fun! Julia-Niharika Sen is the best interviewer ever. I wish I could take her on book tour with me. Thank you for a wonderful audience (who bought so many books) and old friends who came out to support us in Hamburg ... and now off to Frankfurt Bookfair.

This week I did a TV interview in Germany (DAS! Rote Sofa NDR to talk about George Forster. They built Dusky Sound where the Resolution anchored in 1773 as a set. Amazing. And so much fun. www.ardmediathek.de/video/Y3JpZD...

Not surprised in the least. It’s a masterpiece.

I’m speechless. And sooooo excited. “The Traveller” is shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize, the most important non-fiction prize in the UK. What an honour. Thank you!

Exciting news for my event at Harbour Front Literaturfestival in Hamburg on 5 October. The formidable Julia-Niharika Sen (Tagesschau, Tagesthemen & Hamburg Journal ... and my oldest friend) is going to interview me about “Der Reisende”. First time we are going to share a stage. So thrilled.

One advantage of writing a book about an explorer ... instead of doing a TV interview in a studio, we did it on a beautiful old ship on the Wannsee in Berlin. #Druckfrisch #DerReisende

What a wonderful start to my German book tour. Sold out event in Berlin. And a TV interview. All in the Wilhelm von Humboldt Saal at the Stabi.

Couldn't wish for a better beginning of my German tour and publication of "Der Reisende" (The Traveller). An article in @zeit.de about Georg(e) Forster, my book, my research. It ends in the Academy, our beloved Soho Club, with Patrick Walsh and a bottle of red wine.

I'm getting ready for my big book tour in Germany. So, I'm posting my dates again. "Der Reisende" will be published in Germany on 30. September. I will start in Berlin on 28. September. But I'm zigzagging through Germany. Let me introduce you to the extraordinary George Forster.

Happy birthday Alexander von Humboldt! A man who warned about harmful human-induced climate change. Clearly we didn’t listen.

I'm blown away by Mantova. Absolutely incredible. Especially Palazzo Te. Serene symmetrical architecture from the outside and a mad riot of frescos inside. Wild. Including 18th century graffiti (last photo). #bookfestivals

Full house (or church) in Mantova. Gorgeous location #TheTraveller

In her new book, "The Traveler," SFI Miller Scholar Andrea Wulf gives us George Forster, an explorer and naturalist who joined James Cook's expeditions at 17 and "observed with both his mind and his heart." Despite a sad end, Wulf makes the arc of his life glorious, writes SFI Professor Cris Moore.

Difficult question. I wrote it in English. But I also worked on the German translation (editing). I would say … whatever language you enjoy reading the most.

Foreword for "Georg Forster's Reise um die Welt". Anaconda Verlag in Germany is republishing "Georg Forster's Reise um die Welt" - and I wrote the foreword to it. A whooping 1008 pages long (the book, not the foreword). www.penguin.de/buecher/geor...

In our times of polarisation, I draw inspiration from an almost forgotten champion of human rights: George Forster, a visionary thinker ahead of his time. @andreawulf.bsky.social "The Traveller" tells his story. Thanks to her & Misha Glenny for an inspiring talk at the Embassy!

Yeahhhhh! So excited that the “The Traveller” is longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. It’s such an honour to be chosen and be amongst such illustrious writers. Thank you! I hope that George Forster is somewhere out there seeing this. #TheTraveller

I'm doing an event @nhm-london.bsky.social in London on 8 September @ 6.30pm about "The Traveller". And they are bringing out some of his wonderful botanical and zoological drawings ... and some of his herbarium specimens. So, this should be a special one. www.nhm.ac.uk/events/dig-d...

Lovely review in New Zealand Listener “In this impressive work of non-fiction, German-British historian Andrea Wulf sets the record straight … this richly readable book … The Traveller might well restore the mana of a man whose core quality was, Wulf writes, ‘an unshakeable belief in humankind’.”

I've always wanted to see a total eclipse. But it was so much better than I ever imagined. We went to Mallorca. We walked a lot. Found a perfect little spot. Read Annie Dillard's wonderful essay 'Total Eclipse' as we waited. Saw the total eclipse (with some clouds right at the end). Magic.

I've done many podcasts about 'The Traveller' but I really loved 'Travels Through Time' with Peter Moore. 1 year (1772) & 3 scenes (Jan 1772, 2 Somerset Stable Yard, London; 11 July 1772, Plymouth harbour; 10 Dec 1772, Latitude: 51° 37’ S, Longitude: 25°28’E). andreawulf.com/interviews-r...
