desperate german

Desperate German is a delightful ride through the absurdities of German fairytales, language, and culture.

In this fully illustrated, beautifully crafted hardcover, you' ll follow the siblings Hans & Greta as they encounter unreliable trains, mobster grandmothers, and reimagined fairytale characters such as:

• Snow White, a substance-dealing drag queen with her seven twinks.
• Pinnochio, a wooden " pleasure toy" whose nose grows whenever he' s being passive-aggressive.
• Rapunzel, a beauty influencer who hid in her Dubai tower to escape the tax authorities.
• Sleeping Beauty, a sleep-deprived management consultant who really cares about noise limits.
• Sinderella (with an S, you know, because she sins), a dominatrix who' s looking to become the kinkiest girl of the entire kingdom.
• The Big Bald Wolf, a real estate developer who' s trying to expel the pigs from their little houses and finally gentrify the neighbourhood.
• and many, many more.

From the viral sensation behind the " Desperate German" series and the bestselling " Verzweifelt Kochen" and " Verzweifelt Trinken" books, this fully illustrated hardcover is a visual and literary treat. Each chapter offers not only a hilarious story but also cultural insights and " useful phrases" for anyone brave enough to dive into the quirky world of Hans, Greta and the Grandmother.

Printed in Austria on high-quality European paper, Desperate German is unlike any book you' ve ever seen. Alongside each story, you ll find cultural insights and " useful German phrases" to help you survive your own absurd adventures whether you' re fighting German bureaucracy, planning an illegal rave or just trying to catch a train on time.
