Jörg Hartmanns Liebeserklärung an den Lärm des Lebens

Jörg Hartmann is one of the most accomplished character actors in Germany. He plays at the most important theaters in the country, shoots films and embodies, stubborn and engaging, Inspector Faber in the Dortmund crime scene. Now he has written a captivating book. It tells of his life and that of his family; of his deaf grandparents under National Socialism, of his mother's everyday life as a chip shop owner, of his father's dementia, of the bizarre experiences of an extended family and of key encounters in his acting career. Hartmann takes a personal, touching and humorous look at the cycle of life: parents and children, beginnings and endings, departures and arrivals, growth and decay. He succeeds in writing a wise book about origins and home, full of stories. The Noise of Life is an Éducation sentimentale and a declaration of love to the power of family. Mod.: Susanne Weingarten
