About this audiobook

„Die Bücherschlacht“ ist eine unglaublich geistreiche, farbenfrohe, satirisch angehauchte poetische Parodie auf den Gebrauch und vor allem den Missbrauch von Wissen und Bildung, der seit dem überschaubaren Zeitfenster von etwa 6000 Jahren, auf welchen sich unser bescheidenes Kulturverständnis beschränkt, von allen Machthabern und Religionen angewendet wird, um auf rücksichtslose und unverschämte Weise neue Wahrheiten zu kreieren, obwohl diese ausnahmslos lediglich Variationen der immer gleichen Elemente abbilden.

Jonathan Swift

Born in 1667, Jonathan Swift was an Irish writer and cleric, best known for his works Gulliver’s Travels, A Modest Proposal, and A Journal to Stella, amongst many others. Educated at Trinity College in Dublin, Swift received his Doctor of Divinity in February 1702, and eventually became Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Publishing under the names of Lemeul Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, and M. B. Drapier, Swift was a prolific writer who, in addition to his prose works, composed poetry, essays, and political pamphlets for both the Whigs and the Tories, and is considered to be one of the foremost English-language satirists, mastering both the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. Swift died in 1745, leaving the bulk of his fortune to found St. Patrick’s Hospital for Imbeciles, a hospital for the mentally ill, which continues to operate as a psychiatric hospital today.
