View Rights PortalGeorg Christoph Lichtenberg spottet und rühmt, mahnt und klagt, liebt und genießt, glaubt und zweifelt, empört und begeistert sich. Nichts und niemand ist ihm zu groß oder zu gering. Der Mann, der seinen Pantoffeln und einem Ofen Namen gibt, verkehrt und korrespondiert mit den Großen seiner Zeit. Er hat sich nichts vormachen lassen und war seiner Zeit weit voraus. In seinen Sudelbüchern, Briefen und Tagebuchnotizen hat er uns geistreiche und ironische Aphorismen für alle Lebenslagen hinterlassen. Die schönsten und prägnantesten Gedanken hat Inge Traxler für diesen Band ausgewählt. Hans Traxler hat sie auf seine Weise interpretiert.

That’s why world designers construct »alternative realities«, such as landscapes populated by dinosaurs, life at court in the Middle Ages, and surfing and chilling out on a beach. People can switch between these worlds at will and, when they die there, they are not truly dead; instead, they merely return to the »real world« – same as at night when they sleep. Then they are reunited with their body, which is lying inside a capsule. In »Cryptos«, Ursula Poznanski pulls out all the stops of storytelling: She embeds numerous references to human and intellectual history in an action-packed and extremely suspenseful thriller plot. In the process, she raises central existential and ontological questions that result from the interplay between the real and the virtual worlds. This complex dystopian novel is narrated in such an enjoyable way that readers will hardly notice their brains going into overdrive as they devour it."
Es gehört zu meinem besonderen Verhältnis zu meiner Geburtsstadt Frankfurt am Main, daß ich sie als eine der verdorbensten und häßlichsten Städte Deutschlands erlebe und in meiner Phantasie und in meinem inneren Bild von der Stadt an sie als eine der schönsten Städte denke, die ich kenne. Ein Frankfurt der Vorstellung und das reale Frankfurt wohnen in mir dicht nebeneinander und berühren sich und überlappen sich sogar ...« Martin Mosebach hat sich nicht selten über sein Frankfurt geäußert, in Feuilletons, Reportagen, Reden, aber auch in Romanen und Erzählungen. Es ist eine Stadt, die er liebt und die ihn als Geliebte verfolgt. Dieses Buch zeigt ein Frankfurt mit vielen Gesichtern.
