Panopticon

Hans Magnus Enzensberger

To be able to portray precisely and succinctly what is important is a great art in itself. Hans Magnus Enzensberger presents his views and knowledge in twenty short essays - a clever collection of curiosities about everyday things and fundamental issues. He addresses topics such as professions, privileges, microeconomics, gifts, dirt, Know-It-All-ism and unsolvable problems – all with a touch of humour.
