Nieten ohne Ende
Die grössten Versager der Welt
This is a humorous collection of accounts of people, plans and projects, which have failed in different areas of life such as sport, the arts, crime and politics.
Anyone can be a success, but it takes real and original genius to foul up big time. These are the all-time greats, Gods in our field of study, surreal artists, who spurn mere drab success to explore the vast, magical, life-enhancing possibilities of getting it wrong.
