Wladimir Kaminer - Müttertage - Stories about the Heroines of Everyday Life

Wladimir Kaminer

A charming tribute to the heroines of everyday life - a collection of delightful stories about mothers, daughters, grandmothers and mothers-in-law.

"My new book is about how a woman in her nineties, with a fog in her head, bravely carries on, solves global crises and raises a cat." That is at least a few of the things Wladimir Kaminer's own mother gets up to. And she has excellent company in these tales. After all, who keeps the world turning in some semblance of order, if not our mothers? They try - more or less discreetly - to steer the lives of their children, offer advice and even share their secret recipe for aspic. Not everything is met with the hoped-for appreciation, but a good story always comes out of it. Potential mothers-in-law also get their fair share of attention. Anyone who wants to impress them is capable of remarkable transformations.
Wladimir was able to observe this in his own son...
