{"product_id":"tergit-gabriele-kasebier-takes-berlin","title":"Käsebier Takes Berlin","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn English for the first time, a panoramic satire about the star-making machine, set in celebrity-obsessed Weimar Berlin.\n\nIn Berlin, 1930, the name Käsebier is on everyone's lips. A literal combination of the German words for \"cheese\" and \"beer,\" it's an unglamorous name for an unglamorous man-a small-time crooner who performs nightly on a shabby stage for laborers, secretaries, and shopkeepers. Until the press shows up.\n\n In the blink of an eye, this everyman is made a star: a star who can sing songs for a troubled time. Margot Weissmann, the arts patron, hosts champagne breakfasts for Käsebier; Muschler the banker builds a theater in his honor; Willi Frächter, a parvenu writer, makes a mint off Käsebier-themed business ventures and books. All the while, the journalists who catapulted Käsebier to fame watch the monstrous media machine churn in amazement-and are aghast at the demons they have unleashed.\n\nIn Käsebier Takes Berlin, the journalist Gabriele Tergit wrote a searing satire of the excesses and follies of the Weimar Republic. Chronicling a country on the brink of fascism and a press on the edge of collapse, Tergit's novel caused a sensation when it was published in 1931. As witty as Kurt Tucholsky and as trenchant as Karl Kraus, Tergit portrays a world too entranced by fireworks to notice its smoldering edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e9781681372723\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFarbverschnitt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGenerell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eErscheinungsjahr:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e30.07.2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eAutoren:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eTergit, Gabriele\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eÜbersetzung:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eDuvernoy, Sophie\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eThemenüberschrift:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eFICTION \/ Satire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eKeyword:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003esatire;comedy;funny books;humorous books;funny gifts;fiction;novels;humor;fiction books;humor books;books fiction;literary fiction;russian;german;crime;21st century;russian literature;mystery;short stories;cold war;translation;eastern europe;war;cinema;classic;ww2;noir;thriller;french;espionage;wwii;crime fiction;contemporary fiction;historical;european history;journalism;modern;language;world war 2;spy;drama;art;novella;music;england;socialism;essays;roman;identity;fascism;soviet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachschema:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eBerlin \/ Roman, Erzählung, Lyrik, Essay~Deutsche Belletristik \/ Roman, Erzählung~Englische Bücher \/ Belletristik \/ Roman, Erzählung\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachkategorie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eBelletristik in Übersetzung~Satirische Romane und Parodie (fiktional)~Belletristik: Themen, Stoffe, Motive: Psychologisches Innenleben\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eImprint-Titels:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eNYRB Classics\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eLänge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e203 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eBreite:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e132 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eHöhe:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e20 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGewicht:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e315 gr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eProduktform:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eKartoniert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Tergit, Gabriele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55964956459334,"sku":"7776750","price":14.84,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/B00000005223125.jpg?v=1775547412","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/products\/tergit-gabriele-kasebier-takes-berlin","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
