Einen großen Teil seiner prosaischen Werke bilden seine Essays ab, hier Teil 13. Dabei stehen Comics und deren Humor im Vordergrund, wobei ein großer Bogen vom Postkartenwitz, gekennzeichnet durch Brüller und Kalauer, welche die Monotonie der staatlich geförderten Lebensart in Form einer anscheinend anständigen Fassade durch den Kakao ziehen, zum etwas tiefsinnigeren Humor von Literaturklassikern geschlagen wird. Gewissermaßen vom Witz des Pöbels zu dem des Bildungsbürgertums, aber nun ja, über Humor lässt sich bekanntlich nicht streiten – oder doch?

Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.")

This volume celebrates six such languages - Ancient Greek, Latin, Old English, Sanskrit, Old Irish, and Biblical Hebrew - by first introducing listeners to their most distinctive features, then showing how these linguistic traits play out in short excerpts from actual ancient texts. It explores, for instance, how Homer's Greek shows signs of oral composition, how Horace achieves striking poetic effects through interlaced word order in his Latin, and how the poet of Beowulf attains remarkable intensity of expression through the resources of Old English. 

Maggio 1940. Le truppe della Wehrmacht dilagano in Belgio e minacciano i confini della Francia. Nel carro bestiame di un convoglio che procede lentissimo verso il sud, un uomo incontra una donna di cui non saprà altro, per tutto il tempo che passeranno insieme, se non che è una cèca di origine ebrea, e che è stata in prigione a Namur. Sarà l’inizio di una passione amorosa di cui Simenon ci racconta (caso rarissimo) anche i momenti di più bruciante erotismo; una passione che isolerà un uomo e una donna da tutto ciò che accade intorno a loro.

1984 spielt in einer Welt, in der ein totalitärer Überwachungsstaat das Leben der Menschen bis ins Letzte bestimmt und die Wahrheit beliebig definiert werden kann. Was Orwell noch als bedrohliche Dystopie verstand, ist heute in Teilen Realität geworden: Sein „Doppeldenk" ist seit Trumps „alternative facts" gewissermaßen salonfähig.
