"Almost everywhere there is happiness, there is joy in nonsense," Friedrich Nietzsche once said. Everyone probably knows the sentence: "You have nothing but nonsense in your head!". In any case, the two authors of this book have heard it many times. But where does the joy of nonsense come from? Nonsense is obviously not nonsense? The philosopher's sentence could also be reversed: where there is nonsense, there is - almost - always luck! Nonsense gently and humorously shakes the way we see the world. It shows how much we have done for it so that we can see it as it appears to us. What we describe as "self-evident", our usual assumptions and expectations, are turned upside down by nonsense, in this book by the joke of the cartoon - everything could be very different. The "as if" reality of the joke allows you to say and exaggerate things that you would otherwise not dare to do - it is no coincidence that dictatorships are so allergic to jokes, the freedom of thought is contagious! This bound limited edition in a slipcase contains a signed print graphic.
