Benedikt Meyer - Plusquamperfekt

Description

With his "Historical Cabaret," Benedikt Meyer has invented a new genre. Now the historian philosophizes with subtle mischief in "Plusquamperfekt" about Wilhelm Tell's transformations, our love for the automobile, and our obsession with the question of who actually cleaned the cave in the Stone Age. With the Zeppelin, it goes to poetic heights, butterflies change the world, and three young Swiss spread fear and terror in Paris. Light-footed, witty, and with a twinkle in the eye: "Plusquamperfekt" offers contemporary analysis and a history lesson of a different kind.

Benedikt Meyer is convinced: Our ancestors were just as clumsy, curious, quirky, and lovable as we are. From the endless treasure chests of history, the historian digs up all sorts of absurdities from the past. He presents his finds with a wink and a large dose of mischief.
