Axel Hacke has been writing for the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazine now for 25 years, from the famous Kleinen Erziehungsberater to Das Beste aus meinem Leben and Das Beste aus aller Welt. In the process, he has become on the most popular German columnists. “German journalism without Axel Hacke’s columns, is like TV without Thomas Gottschalk or boxing without Muhammad Ali - utterly unthinkable”, writes Harald Martenstein in the Zeit-Magazine. In the Columnist Manifesto, Hacke has now collected, arranged and commented on some of his best-known and previously unknown texts. In German.
