Kurt Tucholsky - he is not just one, but several: a biting and polarizing satirist, the personification of melancholy that runs through his poetry, a keen observer of life, a loving scoffer, a thoughtful philosopher. Tucholsky embodies many aspects that only become apparent when you enter the world of his poetry, when you explore the deepest feelings of life that characterize his lyrics and begin to question their reality: C'est la vie? Ssälawih?.
