Kurt Tucholsky analyzes with irony the German of the Weimar Republic: from administrative language and military jargon to fashionable words and unnecessary loanwords. The volume brings together some fifty glosses and short fragments, completed with passages from the author's letters that contextualize his observations on the use of language as a tool of power.

For readers interested in language criticism and in German society of the Weimar Republic.
Kurt Tucholsky was a German journalist, satirist, and writer. He also wrote under the pseudonyms Kaspar Hauser, Peter Panter, Theobald Tiger and Ignaz Wrobel.
