«Britannica & ich» is A. J. Jacobs's memoir, published by Ullstein, List imprint, in paperback, 427 pages, in German.
Jacobs undertakes a complete reading of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, from A to Z, amid his family's mockery and the memory of his father, who tried and failed. Amid the perplexities of his daily life, he shares astonishing facts —from Goethe to Pythagoras, from oysters to protozoa— with sharp comments and plenty of self-criticism.
German translation of The Know-It-All (2004), with a version by Thomas Mohr; subtitle «Von einem, der auszog, der klügste Mensch der Welt zu werden». In the List Taschenbuch collection (no. 60775).
For readers of nonfiction and humor: reviews highlight how much one learns and how entertaining Jacobs's endeavor is.
