Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Die Schoenste Lengevitch" ist eine legendaere Sammlung humorvoller Gedichte, die den einzigartigen Sprachgeist der deutsch-amerikanischen Einwanderergemeinschaft des frA1/4hen 20. Jahrhunderts feiert. Kurt M. Stein, der unter dem Pseudonym K.M.S. bekannt wurde, faengt darin auf unnachahmliche Weise die hybride Ausdrucksweise ein, in der sich deutsches Kulturerbe mit dem amerikanischen Alltag vermischt.Durch die spielerische VerknA1/4pfung von deutschem Vokabular und englischer Grammatik - das sogenannte "Germerican" - entsteht eine Form der Lyrik, die ebenso sprachwitzig wie kulturell aufschlussreich ist. Das Werk enthaelt geistreiche Parodien auf klassische Balladen, humoristische Umdeutungen bekannter Maerchen und scharfzA1/4ngige Beobachtungen A1/4ber das Leben in der neuen Welt. Die Reime zeichnen sich durch einen besonderen Rhythmus und einen feinen Sinn fA1/4r die Komik sprachlicher Missverstaendnisse aus.Dieses Werk ist nicht nur ein bedeutendes Dokument der transatlantischen Migrationsgeschichte und der Sprachentwicklung, sondern bleibt ein zeitloses LesevergnA1/4gen fA1/4r alle, die Freude an kreativer Wortakrobatik und Dialektliteratur haben.
