Die schöne Gewohnheit zu leben: Eine italienische Reise
Martin Mosebach hat sich auf die Suche nach der »italienischen Essenz« begeben. Und er hat sie gefunden. Er lässt sich durch Venedig treiben, folgt Auf- und Untergang der Sonne in Rom, beschwört das Bild der Piazza, des Herzens der italienischen Stadt, und erlebt den sinnlichen Zauber und die Lebensfreude der Commedia dell'arte. Man möchte in den nächsten Zug steigen, die beschriebenen Orte aufsuchen und sich selbst diesem Orchester der Sinne hingeben.

About the author
Martin Mosebach
65 books69 followersMartin Mosebach has published novels, stories, and collections of poems, written scripts for several films, opera libretti, theatre and radio plays.
The German Academy for Language and Literature praised him for "combining stylistic splendour with original storytelling that demonstrates a humorous awareness of history."
Among his works translated into English is The Heresy of Formlessness, a collection of essays on the liturgy and its recent reform told from the perspective of a literary writer. It has been published in the United States by Ignatius Press.
The book argues for a return to the Tridentine Rite of the Mass, the form of the Roman Rite before the Second Vatican Council, the use of which, in accordance with the Roman Missal of 1962, is authorized, under certain conditions, by the 2007 motu proprio Summorum Pontificum.
Other works include The Turkish Woman, "The Tremor," "The Long Night" and "Prince of Mist," in which the author examines the motives behind man's eternal search for a meaning.
