"La fattoria degli animali" voleva essere, nelle intenzioni dell'autore, una realistica allegoria della Russia Sovietica, dominata da Stalin. La cacciata dell'uomo avrebbe dovuto portare tra gli animali della fattoria liberata alla realizzazione di quei valori di egualitarismo, fratellanza e libertà che sono il manifesto ideologico dell'illuminismo e da cui hanno tratto la loro origine marxismo, socialismo, comunismo. Nel libro viene ben rappresentato come nella realtà la salita al potere da parte dei nuovi suonatori non determinerà affatto il cambiamento della musica, tutt'altro.

Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation.

Stundenlang übt er vor dem Spiegel seinen Gang, sein Lächeln, seine Art zu sprechen. Julius Varga, der Parteichef, ist das ganz große Idol des namenlosen Erzählers. "Ich gebe mich für dich auf, Julius. Ich liebe dich." In seiner Abwesenheit gießt er seine Zimmerpflanzen, als ob dies ein Staatsakt wäre. Auf einer unteren Ebene dient der Erzähler der Partei und eifert seinem Vorbild nach. Er ist besessen von Marken und Äußerlichkeiten und der Ästhetik von Terroranschlägen.

Sie gehören zur Crème de la Crème des politischen Kabaretts in Deutschland. 2014 gingen sie erstmalig zusammen auf Tour. Und dann ging es gleich auf "Abschiedstour". Aus gutem Grund, denn Georg Schramm und sein Alter Ego Lothar Dombrowski packen den Lederhandschuh ein. Schramm macht Schluss mit Kabarett.

Den betörend geheimnisvollen Namen "Calypso" teilen sich unter anderem eine griechische Meeresnymphe, ein afrikanisch-karibischer Tanzrhythmus und ein Saturnmond. Fragt man David Sedaris, ist Calypso ein besonders bescheuerter Name für eine Katze. Aber auch ein betörend geheimnisvoller Titel für die lang erwartete neue Geschichtensammlung eines der erfolgreichsten Humoristen unserer Zeit, der es wie kein anderer versteht, zarte Schönheit im Hässlichen zu entdecken und die banale Komik des schönen Scheins zu entlarven.

An Georg Christoph Lichtenberg kam vor mehr als 200 Jahren nichts unkommentiert vorbei - weder eine mathematische Formel noch eine Alltagsbeobachtung. Der studierte Physiker, Mathematiker und Astronom konnte komplexe Zusammenhänge anschaulich zuspitzen. In seinen "Sudelbüchern" notierte er Tausende davon. Heute gilt Lichtenberg nicht nur als einer der originellsten Köpfe des 18. Jahrhunderts, sondern auch als Begründer des modernen deutschen Aphorismus. Baldur Seifert liest "Aus den Sudelbüchern", die bis heute nichts von ihrem Witz und Scharfsinn verloren haben.
