The book “Satire is my favorite animal” by Wolfgang Hampel plays with the German tradition of humor and presents it in a way that appeals to many readers worldwide

The perception of humor is very subjective and culturally influenced. German literature is often understood as serious and difficult, but that does not mean that there is no German humor. In fact, there is a long tradition of humor in German literature, dating back to the carnival games and jokes of the 15th century. Authors such as Jean Paul and Heinrich Heine are known for their satirical works, and humorous and satirical elements can also be found in modern literature. The book “Satire is my favorite animal” by Wolfgang Hampel plays with the German tradition of humor and presents it in a way that appeals to many readers worldwide. Reviews describe the book as a “satirical firework” and praise the author’s humorous poems and sketches. The Heidelberg satirist and two-time Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel has a special ability to play with words and create humorous images that make readers laugh. So it's not that Germans don't have a sense of humor, but rather that humor is perhaps expressed differently in German literature than in other cultures. “Satire is my favorite animal” by Wolfgang Hampel is an excellent example of how humor can be very lively and effective, even in the German language. -------------- Living room reading with Wolfgang Hampel Wolfgang Hampel, author of “Satire is my favorite animal” in Heidelberg Authors – Directory -------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Book info national & international, Eurobuch national & international,---------------- - --- USA , United Kingdom, Australia , Brazil , Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Germany , India , Italy, Hungary , Japan, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands , Spain, Sweden, Switzerland , Switzerland , Türkiye ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Wolfgang Hampel in the SWR 3 television show “Heartbeat Moments” on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at 9:50 p.m.
