Commentary Conducive To Books The Clown
Acclaimed entertainer Hans Schnier collapses when his beloved Marie leaves him because he won’t marry her within the Catholic Church. The desertion triggers a searing re-examination of his life—the loss of his sister during the war, the demands of his millionaire father and the hypocrisies of his mother, who first fought to “save” Germany from the Jews, then worked for “reconciliation” afterwards.Rating Out Of Books The Clown

Set in the post-war years, The Clown is an intense, vibrant picture of what life under Hitler's reign was like.This is a very powerful book by an author who attracted a lot of attention in the West for praising the Bader Meinhof Gang in public. This was not a publicity stunt; Boll who was a great artist and an even greater idiot really meant what he said.This is unpleasant, hate-filled diatribe against the prosperous and self-satisfied FDR. The main character has the same problem as Gunter Grass's little Oskar. He is incapable of fitting into the new Post War Germany. When I was travelling through Europe
The novel Ansichten eines Clowns by Heinrich Böll tells a story about a clown who is concerned about his life because he failed at work and in his private life in the eye of society. The book is very interesting and it portrays the point of view of a poor, desperate young man looking for a way out of the chaos in his life.

The Era of ProstitutionHans, the clown in question, is a petulant, socially awkward, articulate, but persistently sarcastic figure who identifies with both the Germanic Siegfried and the Jewish Christ. Although Protestant, he knows more about Catholic ritual and attitudes than most Catholics. He abhors clerics and their rituals when they pretend to more than aesthetic importanceHans is an artist who lives for the aesthetics of his craft, which is grounded in the observation of the details of
This was really, really good. One of the saddest books Ive ever read, a truly melancholic novel, filled with strange humor that makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Heinrich Böll takes the popular trope of the sad clown and uses it to tell a captivating story about a lonely man, longing for the girlfriend who left him. Its a story about the hypocrisy of the world we live in religious, social, moral and all other kinds of hypocrisy. Its set in a post-World War II times, and the main
This one is ideal to show the overestimation of the classic, upper literature, especially if it is mixed with patriotism and this idealization of "our" author who is treated like a national sanctuary. Yes, a long time ago there werent many authors, but one must differentiate between the ones that sold many great books because they were talented and loved by a huge audience and those who got hyped by the decadent establishment and so-called intellectuals. Böll is no bad author, but this work is
