About this ebook
Kurt Tucholsky is one of Weimar Germany's most celebrated literary figures. The poet, journalist, and satirist who was at the center of the tumultuous political and cultural world of 1920's Berlin still emerges as an astonishingly contemporary figure. But he was more than just an angry truth-teller; he was also one of the funniest satirical writers of his era, depicting everyday lives during the rise of modernity. The iconic translation of Harry Zohn, a literary figure from Vienna himself, presented Tucholsky to an American audience for the first time. This edition features a preface by Ralph Blumenthal, journalism professor and former reporter for The New York Times.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A collection of satirical essays written between 1920 and 1934, some cutting and some both cutting and humorous. While some seemed better than others and some seemed a bit repetitious, it was overall and entertaining and thoughtful.
