Das Buch der Zumutungen

Life - an imposition! Why shouldn't one drive a car? What does a German bus have to do with antiquity? What is the difference between soccer and bullfighting? How does one manage to die with style? Why is brain research concerning? How did Che Guevara become the chief economist? And how do hairdressers poetize life? Amusing and subtle, Stefan aus dem Siepen casts a critical eye on our modern existence. In short reflections and anecdotes, he captures why a pleasant existence is impossible for us. Everyday life, current events, art and literature, sports, the German language, final things - everywhere aus dem Siepen humorously points out "impositions." The notebook of a critical contemporary - full of esprit, combative, and always elegant.
