Die Schwebebahn

Rate this book
Nach dem Jahrhundertroman "Der Turm" führt Uwe Tellkamp noch einmal durch seine Heimatstadt Dresden. Es sind kleine und feinsinnige Erzählungen über Dinge des Alltags ebenso wie über Besonderes. Ob es um die Frauenkirche geht oder um Plattenbauten, ob ums Amt zur Wiederherstellung der Schönheit oder ob man dem Zwergpudel Caligula dabei zusieht, wie er eine Dame mit Hut Gassi führt: Uwe Tellkamp schildert Dresden in seiner sinnlichen Vielfalt, poetisch und humorbegabt.
