«Achtung! Vorurteile» is the essay by Sir Peter Ustinov, published by Rowohlt in paperback (224 pages, in German).
Ustinov denounces what he calls a resurgence of prejudice and traces it from the Iraq war to the everyday looks and gestures of the neighbourhood. With irony and a sense of humour, he weaves anecdotes from his life to dismantle clichés about coexistence and politics, and the result also becomes an autobiographical journey.
The subtitle reads «Nach Gesprächen mit Harald Wieser und Jürgen Ritte»; it belongs to the rororo collection (no. 23928). This edition is the second (2. Auflage).
A book for those seeking essay and personal memoir with humour, social criticism and anecdotes told from a cosmopolitan perspective.
