The Art of the Column. 'NZZ-am-Sonntag' author Manfred Papst presents his volume 'Kopf und Kragen'

Description

For 24 years, Manfred Papst's 'Zugabe' has been published in the Kulturbund of 'NZZ am Sonntag'. For the volume 'Kopf und Kragen', the author selected 99 columns that deal with language and its pitfalls. Laughter is allowed. Why do we put the plate on the table and place the cutlery beside it? Does Donald Trump have a face? Why is the Bernese German word 'auä' so beautiful? And can one see an honest craft in the bluffing? The author has an answer to these and many other questions. At least, he pretends to! © Image: private Participants and additional information: Mamfred Papst
