«Gesang zwischen den Stühlen» is Erich Kästner's poetry collection, published by Droemer Knaur in paperback (99 pages, in German).
A satirical poetry collection portraying love, big-city life, and the politics of its time. First published in 1932, contemporary critics hailed it as Kästner's best poetry volume to date. His poems observe lies, appearances, and imitation, and retain a surprising relevance.
The illustrations are by Erich Ohser. This edition is from 1980. Kästner wrote these poems during the decline of the Weimar Republic.
For readers of satirical poetry and social and political criticism of interwar Germany.
Emil Erich Kästner was a German writer, poet, screenwriter and satirist, known primarily for his humorous, socially astute poems and for children's books including Emil and the Detectives and Lisa and Lottie. He received the international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1960 for his autobiography When I Was a Little Boy. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in eight separate years.
