Sometimes sharp-tongued, sometimes cheerful: Tucholsky's satirically twisted world in a colorful and equally quirky illustrated book. Kurt Tucholsky, also known by the pseudonyms Ignaz Wrobel, Theobald Tiger, Peter Panter, and Kasper Hauser, humorously and pointedly critiques the sacred institutions of society in the short stories presented here, questioning values and morals while encouraging readers to discover the joy of existence amidst the shortcomings of everyday life. The award-winning illustrator and book designer Franziska Walther showcases the relevance of these short stories she has compiled and illustrated, emphasizing with her images the biting humor and visual power of Tucholsky's texts, which remain highly relevant today.
