Auch wenn ich lache, muß ich weinen

by Johannes Mario Simmel

Wieder legt Mario Simmel einen Roman vor, der, was die Aktualität angeht, nichts zu wünschen übrig läßt. Vom Terror gegen Ausländer und Asylbewerber ist die Rede, von Neonazis, die Molotowcocktails schleudern und jüdische Grabstätten schänden. In dieser Atmosphäre glaubt der Klempnermeister Mischa Kafanke als Sohn eines russischen Juden und einer preußischen Mutter nicht mehr leben zu können. Er, der Erfinder eines Öko-Klos, verläßt Deutschland und begibt sich auf eine an Gefahren und Abenteuern reiche Odyssee rund um die Welt.

About the author

Johannes Mario Simmel was an Austrian writer.

He was born in Vienna and grew up in Austria and England. He was trained as a chemical engineer and worked in research from 1943 to the end of World War II. After the end of the war, he worked as a translator for the American military government and published reviews and stories in the Vienna Welt am Abend. Starting in 1950, he worked as a reporter for the Munich illustrated Quick in Europe and America.

He wrote a number of screenplays and novels, which have sold tens of millions of copies. Many of his novels were successfully filmed in the 1960s and 1970s. He won numerous prizes, including the Award of Excellence of the Society of Writers of the UN. Important issues in his novels are a fervent pacifism as well as the relativity of good and bad. Several novels are said to have a true background, possibly autobiographic.

According to his Swiss lawyer, Simmel died on January 1, 2009 in Lucerne, at 84 years of age.

Reviews

[Gustavo Siqueira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Essa obra e simplesmente exceptional afinal ela consegue te prender do começo ao fim da trama com uma historia que faz cada pagina valer a pena,a descrição tambem e algo indescritivel afinal o autor consegue descrever de forma Unica todos os acontecimentos e personagens aqui presentes. A maneira como se demostra a Alemanha na 2° guerra tambem e um ponto positivo devido a alta riqueza de detalhes tanto na economia mundial e no psicologico dos personagens que são algo Unico do livro,as relaçōes que aqui ocorrem são o melhor ponto devido ao fato de que se cria uma empatia unica por Todo o universo de “Ocultos na escuridão" mas o filme secreto foi o melhor de tudo devido a seu estilo Unico que deu Todo o impacto presente Nas 695 paginas dessa maravilha que teve um final bom mas no minimo peculiar,inesperado e com uma conexão ao inicio de tudo que foi simplesmente unica de se ler,esse livro não e para inciantes mas quem animar a se Aventurar em tal obra não ira se arrepender
Nota:10/10
