...und die beste Ehefrau von allen
"Was kann ein Mann schon über eine Frau schreiben, die erstens seine eigene und zweitens völlig in Ordnung ist?" klagt Ephraim Kishon im Vorwort zu seinem "satirischen Geständnis" über die weltberühmte "beste Ehefrau von allen". Natürlich wird keiner seiner Leser Zweifel daran hegen, dass ihm dennoch Brillantes zum Thema geglückt ist und darüber hinaus ein köstliches Porträt eines Ehe- und Familienlebens.
Wir erfahren, dass auch Sara Kishon Gewichtsprobleme hat und für ihren Mann so schön angezogen sein will, dass darüber ein neues Jahr beginnt, dass auch bei Kishons die Babysitterfrage eine den Ehefreiden bedrohende Rolle spielt, wie sehr gemeinsame Reisen den Gesprächsstoff der Ehepartner bereichern, dass die Technik im Frauenleben auch heute noch eine gewisse Hürde ist und vieles mehr.
Vergnügliche Szenen einer Ehe also, herrliche Geschichten um Frauen und Männer, an denen sich wenig geändert hat, seit Eva ihren Adam in den berüchtigten Apfel beißen ließ.

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).

A new author discovered late in life. The man is an amazing wordsmith. One of the funniest books I've ever read.

Aus meiner Sicht passt das Frauenbild, so wie Kishon es beschreibt nicht mehr in die heutige Zeit.
