Die netten Nachbarn
Mit ihnen leben geht oft bis an die Schmerzgrenze - ohne sie leben kann man aber auch nicht. Nachbarn und ihre seltsamen Eigenheiten sind ein fast unerschöpfliches Thema für jedermann. Doch ohne sie wäre unser Leben so viel ärmer, denn auch die Hilfe unter Nachbarn ist legendär.
Familie Kishon jedenfalls erlebt viel Abenteuerliches mit ihren lieben Nachbarn: Seeligs Radio dröhnt Tag für Tag, Abend für Abend bis in die entlegensten Winkel des ganzen Hauses, ein anderer Nachbar hämmert vor Sonnenaufgang an die Wohnungstür und reißt alle mit einer Hiobsbotschaft aus dem Schlaf; Stocklers genießen mit ihrem neu erworbenen Feldstecher eine bestechend gute Aussicht ins Schlafzimmer ihrer Nachbarn von gegenüber; der Nachbarshund verwüstet den Garten und zeigt auch keine Reue bezüglich des Wohnzimmerteppichs...
Eine wunderbare Zusammenstellung von Satiren mit den besten Wünschen für eine harmonische Nachbarschaft.

About the author
Ephraim Kishon
266 books162 followersEphraim Kishon (Hebrew: אפרים קישון) was an Israeli writer, satirist, dramatist, screenwriter, and film director.
Born into a middle-class Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary, as Ferenc Hoffmann (Hungarian Hoffmann Ferenc), Kishon studied sculpture and painting, and then began publishing humorous essays and writing for the stage.
During World War II the Nazis imprisoned him in several concentration camps. At one camp his chess talent helped him survive as the camp commandant was looking for an opponent. In another camp the Germans lined up the inmates shooting every tenth person, passing him by. He later wrote in his book The Scapegoat, "They made a mistake—they left one satirist alive." He managed to escape while being transported to the Sobibor death camp in Poland, and hid the remainder of the war disguised as "Stanko Andras", a Slovakian laborer.
After 1945 he changed his surname from Hoffmann to Kishont to disguise his Jewish heritage and returned to Hungary to study art and publish humorous plays. He immigrated to Israel in 1949 to escape the Communist regime, and an immigration officer gave him the name Ephraim Kishon.
His first marriage, in 1946 to Eva (Chawa) Klamer, ended in divorce. In 1959, he married his second wife Sara (née Lipovitz), who died in 2002. In 2003, he married the Austrian writer Lisa Witasek. He had three children: Raphael (b. 1957), Amir (b. 1963), and Renana (b. 1968).

3,15 - Das Buch hat liebevoll gezeichnete Charaktere und viel trockenen Humor, ohne aber durchgängig atemberaubend lustig zu sein.

Unterhaltsames Buch, aber nicht sein bestes 😉.
