Warum fuhr Thomas Bernhard im Kuhstall mit dem Rad im Kreis herum? Weshalb durchsuchte die Polizei Heinrich Bölls Haus? Die Geschichten hinter der Geschichte der Literatur sind voller Überraschungen. Arno Schmidt, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Ingeborg Bach - mann oder Christa Wolf: Leben voller Glück und Leid, voll Leidenschaft und seltsamer Schrullen. Und so auch ihre Bücher: witzig, gescheit, anrührend, traurig. Mit großer Souveränität verknüpft Peter Braun spannende, tragische und komische Episoden aus dem Leben der Schriftsteller mit der deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte und ihrer Literatur. Wie schon im ersten Band verschafft er uns damit auf höchst informative und unterhaltsame Weise Zugang zu den wichtigsten Werken aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum.
Das kindgerecht illustrierte Buch erklärt detailliert den Hausbau, die benötigten Fahrzeuge und Werkzeuge sowie die Arbeitsplätze von Bauberufen. Kurze Texte ergänzen die Bilder und erläutern die wichtigsten Gerätschaften und Maschinen, sodass die Begriffe leicht zugeordnet werden können.
