  Abstract:  “Dear old home, dear new home”: Romania and Germany compared in the texts of Karin Gündisch. This paper aims to show how Germany and Romania are explicitly compared in the literary texts of Karin Gündisch, a children’s book author from Romania who immigrated to Germany in the 1980s. We also analyze how geographic notions denoting countries are linked to terms with a rather individual quality such ‘home’, ‘homeland’/‚hometown’ in the context of emigration and adjustment.

Keywords: children’s literature, Karin Gündisch, emigration, adjustment, comparison, home, homeland, hometown.
