Es ist allgemein bekannt und anerkannt, dass Karl Kraus als größter Aphoristiker des deutschsprachigen Raums gilt. Warum das so ist erfahren Sie auf diesem Hörbuch. Mit der analytischen Leichtigkeit eines Rasiermesser-scharfsinnigen Beobachters des Zeitgeschehens und der traumwandlerischen sprachlichen Sicherheit eines über aller Kritik und allen Kritikern stehenden Titanen-Geistes reflektiert Kraus den alltäglichen Wahnsinn gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Normalität.

The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences written by Charles Dickens, published in 1860-1861. In 1859 Dickens founded a new journal called All the Year Round, and the "Uncommercial Traveller" articles would be among his main contributions. He seems to have chosen the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave on 22 December 1859 to the Commercial Travellers' School London in his role as honorary chairman and treasurer.

Dans la veine de son célèbre Crépuscule des Idoles, ce recueil d'aphorismes qui ne fut jamais achevé par l'auteur—le projet initial fut abandonné en 1888—visait à exposer l'ensemble de sa doctrine dans un ouvrage synthétique.

Estamos cansados de amar con vergüenza, de engendrar con miedo, de trabajar sin ganas, de luchar sin fuerzas, de morir sin gracia. Y estamos cansados de ser los cómplices de nuestros verdugos, de elegir a los que nos matan, de alimentar a los que nos roban, de admirar a los que nos desprecian. Estamos cansados de que cueste tanto una educación que nada resuelve. Cansados de que nos sigan diciendo que al crimen se lo combate con criminales, que a la pobreza se la combate con jueces y cárceles; cansados de que las soluciones sigan siendo las mismas que nunca solucionaron nada.
