One does not whistle against an ocean. Kurt Tucholsky hardly adhered to his own maxim; with great fervor, he whistled against international ignorance and vanity, against false moral values, greed, and not least, against violence. Sharp-tongued, relentless, and humorous, he jabbed or raged against politicians, entrepreneurs, church representatives, officials, and colleagues. His timeless witticisms about the world, love, and life inspired Leipzig illustrator Petra Schuppenhauer to create artistic works that are in a dynamic relationship with Tucholsky's lines. A treasure trove for anyone who loves humorous and ironic polemics. A gem for the mind and soul.
