Rheinsberg / Schloss Gripsholm

Quot;Be happy, but never satisfied. Don't let the fire go out, never, never!" From Rheinsberg. A picture book for lovers It is considered the primal feeling of man, and writers in particular try to approach it selectively with the intensity of words: love. Few, however, succeed in doing so with the playful, melancholy lightness of Kurt Tucholsky. The stories collected here Rheinsberg. Ein Bilderbuch für Verliebte and Schloß Gripsholm are like pastel drawings that, with simple strokes, create an entire universe whose pictorial power is unexpectedly fascinating and whose hidden longing is compelling precisely because it is both contained and satisfied in the superficial inconspicuousness of the colors.
