Das grosse Wilhelm Busch Album in Farbe

by Wilhelm Busch

Auch der Weisheit Lehren muss man mit Vergnügen hören... Unter diesem Motto könnte das umfangreiche Werk Wilhelm Buschs stehen, mit dem er zu einem der beliebtesten Humoristen Deutschlands wurde. Wer kennt sie nicht: die leider gar nicht so fromme Helene, die bösen Buben Max und Moritz, den likörliebenden Raben Hans Huckebein und all die anderen unsterblichen Figuren aus der spitzen Feder des begnadeten Zeichners und Verseschmieds. Alle diese Bildergeschichten um spießbürgerliche Eitelkeiten und die menschlichen Schwächen sind in dieser durchgehend farbigen Ausgabe versammelt und laden ein zum Betrachten und zur vergnüglichen Lektüre.

About the author

After initially studying mechanical engineering and then art in Düsseldorf, Antwerp, and Munich, he turned to drawing caricatures. One of his first picture stories, Max and Moritz (published in 1865), was an immediate success and has achieved the status of a popular classic and perennial bestseller.

4 stars!

A nice childhood classic I simply had to read again! Humoristic and a little dark sometimes, the many tales I didn't remember will surely stay in my mind for quite a while now. I hope that the generations to come will still be listening to and reading Wilhelm Busch stories.

A German comic from the early 1900s. Some of the stories were interesting, but many were just gross. I know I also didn't understand or pick up on many of the colloquialisms.
