Zweisprachige Jubiläumsausgabe Das größte und schönste Volksfest der Welt – gefeiert vom US-amerikanischen Starautor Thomas Wolfe. Dieses literarische Wiesn-Schmankerl lotet alle Höhen und Tiefen des feuchtfröhlichen Spektakels aus. Es zeigt, wie man sich in München verlieben und unter Bayern sein weiß-blaues Wunder erleben kann. Festbier, Tracht und Prügel – «München hat mich beinahe umgebracht», stöhnte Thomas Wolfe nach einer Wiesnschlägerei. Doch trotz gebrochener Nase und etlicher Platzwunden hielt er seiner Schicksalsstadt zeitlebens die Treue. Kein Ort auf der Welt bezauberte den großen amerikanischen Schriftsteller mehr, kein Ort bescherte ihm – im Guten wie im Bösen – so überwältigende Gefühle. Auf höchst amüsante Weise wird in diesem Buch geschildert, wie aus dem Greenhorn aus North Carolina ein München-Liebhaber und Wahlbajuware wurde. Wolfe offenbart sein Schwanken zwischen Befremden und Faszination angesichts endemischer Bierseligkeit, seine aufflammende Begeisterung beim Mitschunkeln, das Glück rauschhafter Hingabe. Und nach jäher Ernüchterung finden sich just in Oberammergau segensreiche Hände, die dafür sorgen, dass die ramponierte Dichterstirn auch wieder verheilt. Ausstattung: Mit 4 Schwarz-Weiß-Abbildungen
