Bernhard-Viktor (Vicco) von Bülow - better known as Loriot - is the grand seigneur of German humor. No one before or after him has been able to trip up the bourgeois middle class with consummately polite audacity, so that one might stumble with dignity. Week after week, he created new picture stories, which he initially published in magazines. His publishers barely kept up with the book publications, so that the numerous books to date only show a cross-section. Loriot wrote about himself: "I am not a dog, nor have I ever resembled one. Rather, I am a Berliner, born in Brandenburg on November 12, 1923. My parents decided to send me to school. By learning old languages, attending a course for armored troops, as well as studying for three years at the Landeskunstschule Hamburg and passing an exam that allowed me to drive a car, I conscientiously prepared myself for the career of a caricaturist. I can swim. I also gave my wife a dog and a child." (1954)
Following the success of "Loriot's Dramatic Works" at the Altona and Harburg theaters, you can expect new, but also well-known classics from another well-known book by the German master of comedy - "Loriot's ideal world": "The Vacuum Cleaner Salesman", "Christmas at Hoppenstedt's" or "The Animal Dealer".
But also lesser-known pieces such as "Matches & Rouladenfaden" - Rouladenfaden is a wonderful word that could be forgotten if it weren't for Loriot!
