A book that makes the German language visible: in infographics, maps and illustrations that place knowledge, curiosities and surprising connections side by side. It deals with monstrous compound words and mangled idioms just as much as with spelling, language policy and history. Which sounds occur only in German? Since when has there even been a binding orthography? And how strongly does language shape the way we think and act? Every double page shows it: German is flexible, multifaceted, occasionally absurd – and astonishing time and again. In cooperation with the Duden editorial team.
