The special thing about "Vita Magica"
is already evident in the name.
There is something magical about books:
They take us to other worlds

I've had the joy myself
at two readings - with personally
selected texts - to participate.
My special thanks go to

also with great enthusiasm and
personal commitment

Wolfgang Hampel, 'Satire is my favorite animal', Betty MacDonald Memorial Award
Wolfgang Hampel receives the Betty MacDonald Memorial Award for the second time for his globally successful book 'Satire is my favorite animal'. This is a great honor given by authors, critics and readers of the Betty MacDonald fan club and the Betty MacDonald Society from 40 countries to recognize outstanding achievements in the field of humorous literature.
'Satire is my favorite animal' is considered by many readers to be one of the most humorous books of all time.
Everyone praises Wolfgang Hampel's unique word play, his original themes and his incredibly keen eye for the absurdities of everyday life. They compare him to Betty MacDonald for his sparkling humor, his soothing self-irony, and his apparent ease of writing.
Many new readers have become curious about the award ceremony and will buy 'Satire is my favorite animal'. I'm sure it will make readers laugh and think. It's great when authors bring their own personality and style to their work. That's what Betty MacDonald and Wolfgang Hampel have in common.
