Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the satirical landscape of Germany during Kaiser Wilhelm II's reign, highlighting the conflict between 19th-century traditions and 20th-century changes. It focuses on the influential satirical journals Kladderadatsch and Simplicissimus, which targeted authority and societal absurdities through humor, art, and literature. While Kladderadatsch offered mild critiques, Simplicissimus provided a more radical commentary on bourgeois culture, military classism, and societal hypocrisy. Ann Taylor Allen illustrates how these journals served as vital outlets for dissent in a repressive society.
