Hardcover. Condition: wie neu. mit feiner Druckspur am vorderen Buchdeckel, wie neu! Als der Frankfurter Arzt und Psychiater Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann (1809 - 1894) für seinen dreijährigen Sohn kein passendes Kinderbuch fand, zeichnete und schrieb er kurzentschlossen selbst eines. 1845 erschien der erste gedruckte Struwwelpeter, die… englische Übersetzung folgte drei Jahre später. Jeder kennt die grausamen Storys, jeder weiß was mit dem mäkeligen Suppen-Kaspar, dem ungehorsamen Paulinchen passiert. Was aber geschieht mit dem Daumenlutscher ohne Daumen, was mit dem vom Hund gebissenen Friederich? Michael Morris von Cultural Industry in London hatte die Idee, den Struwwelpeter als "Junk Opera" auf die Bühne zu bringen. Wer nicht hören will, muß sterben, das ist die Konsequenz, zu der sich Heinrich Hoffmann bei den meisten Geschichten im Struwwelpeter nicht entschließen konnte als er ihr "Unhappy End" offen ließ. 150 Jahre später hat Martyn Jacques die drastischen Droh- und Warngeschichten des Struwwelpeter zu Ende gedacht, zu Ende gebracht. Das ist nicht nur schwarzer englischer Humor, sondern auch eine Satire auf Elternliebe, Erwachsenen-Rechthaberei und die inzwischen subtiler ausgeübte Pädagogik des Bestrafens. Als Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann seinen Struwwelpeter auf die Kinderwelt losließ, schrieb man das Jahr 1845, und seinerzeit schienen Langhaarige, Daumenlutscher, Hyperaktive und kleine pyromanische Mädchen schon eine grausige Sache gewesen zu sein, vor denen in lustigen und etwas bösen Versen gewarnt werden sollte. Aber wen interessiert das noch im Zeitalter von Dreadlocks, Piercings und modischer Magersucht? Die Engländer zum Beispiel. Der Sänger der Tiger Lillies, Martyn Jacques, nahm sich der Texte von Hoffmann an und kreierte eine "Junk Opera", die alle unhappy Ends zum tödlichen Ausgang zu Ende schrieb. So schwarz und gemein wie die Geschichten hat man auch die Bilder des guten Doktor weiterbearbeitet, und jetzt ist der Struwwelpeter in all seinem Horror zu genießen. Die Texte wurden auf deutsch rückübersetzt, nur ein paar kleine Änderungen gegenüber dem Original geben den Geschichten den letzten Biß. Wenn Konrad ohne seine Daumen verblutet, Hans-guck-in-die Luft im Fluß ertrinkt und der Zappel-Phillip vom Tischbesteck erstochen wird, kommt wirklich makabere Freude auf. Eine Empfehlung geht an alle, die ihren horrorfilmverseuchten Kindern eine Gelegenheit geben wollen, ein wenig Englisch zu lernen, ohne sie zu langweilen, sowie an alle Freunde des tief schwarzen Humors. »Highly original, deeply sinister and utterly beguiling.« (Sunday Telegraph) »Wonderfully horrid . darkly funny, ravishingly inventive.« (Evening Standard) »A macabre and perverse thrill of pleasure.« (Daily Telegraph) Triumphant shockingly funny . magnificent . very, very nasty, but oh so nice.« (The Guardian) »Eine Trash-Therapie für genervte Eltern und widerspenstige Kids.« (Stern) »Für emotional ausgeplünderte Eltern, ein Blutrausch, der mordsmäßig gut tut im Herzen.« (Neue Zürcher Zeitung) »Heinrich Hoffmann . völlig durchgeknallt .« (Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung) »Schwache Gemüter sollten diesen Text nicht lesen .« -- Tagesspiegel A macabre and perverse thrill of pleasure. -- Daily Telegraph Für emotional ausgeplünderte Eltern, ein Blutrausch, der mordsmäßig gut tut im Herzen. -- Neue Zürcher Zeitung Heinrich Hoffmann . völlig durchgeknallt . -- Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung Highly original, deeply sinister and utterly beguiling. -- Sunday Telegraph Schwache Gemüter sollten diesen Text nicht lesen . -- Tagesspiegel Triumphant shockingly funny . magnificent . very, very nasty, but oh so nice. -- The Guardian Wonderfully horrid . darkly funny, ravishingly inventive. -- Evening Standard In deutscher Sprache. 36 pages. 260x200 mm.
