Die Rettung der Dinge

For nearly twenty years, Max Küng has been writing his columns week after week for "Das Magazin," the weekend supplement of four major Swiss daily newspapers. His columns have become an essential part of a successful weekend. It is the small things in everyday life that occupy Max Küng's mind. Whether it's buying winter tires for his car, the passionate enthusiasm of a table neighbor for Thousand Island dressing, or a visit to the apartment where Max Frisch's relationship with Ingeborg Bachmann fell apart. The seemingly trivial matters transform into true sensations in Küng's universe. This volume gathers his personally selected favorite columns from recent years.
