About the Book

Eine zahme Bestie auf Grand Tour d' Nashorn trifft Kaiserin!Das erste Nashorn, das nach Jahrhunderten Europa lebend erreichteMaria Theresia, Voltaire, Madame Pompadour – sie alle wurden zu Nebenfiguren, als sie in Europa die gefurchtete und gefeierte Nashorndame Clara. Wieso schrieb ihr Casanova ein Liebesgedicht? Was hat Clara mit Tabak und Bier zu tun? Und wie konnte sie fur die Menschen gleichermaßen eine Hollenbestie und eine Salonschonheit sein?Jeannine Meighorner erzahlt eine außergewohnliche und einzigartige die Reise der Nashorndame Clara, die, nachdem Wilderer ihre Mutter ermordeten, in Gefangenschaft geriet – und dort wie ein Schoßhundchen aufwuchs. Bis sie ihre Reise von Indien uber Kapstadt nach Wien, Rom und Versailles antrat, wo sich die Monarchen, Kunstler und Philosophen um eine Audienz rissen. Denn niemand in Europa hatte seit Jahrhunderten je ein lebendes Nashorn zu Gesicht bekommen.Politische Machtspiele inbegriffenEs ist aber nicht nur ein idyllisches Bild von menschlicher Neugier und Zuneigung zu diesem Wundertier, das Meighorner zeichnet, sondern auch ein aufregender Einblick in die Machtkampfe zwischen den europaischen Adelsfamilien des 18. Jahrhunderts, die diesem Schauspiel zugrunde lagen. Clara traf das Who-is-Who des europaischen Adels. Maria Theresia wurde sogar vor dem Treffen "S'Monstrum schauen" konnte ihrem ungeborenen Kind schaden. Es wagten aber auch noch Friedrich der Große, Konig Ludwig XV mit seiner Madame Pompadour genauso wie Diderot, Rousseau, Johann Sebastian Bach und Casanova. In allen europaischen Zentren mit all ihren kulturellen Wien, Roman, Venedig, Zurich und Versailles.Mit allen Sinnen eintauchen in Claras GeschichteClara ist fur manche von Meighorners Figuren eine unselige Missgeburt, fur andere das Wunder von Leiden oder die Orangenprinzessin – in jedem Fall aber eine silberne Riesin.Dass sie Claras Geschichte auf Papier erzahlt, halt Meighorner aber nicht davon ab, die ganze Bandbreite unserer Sinne zu Wer wissen will, wie eine kahl rasierte Glatze in der brutenden Hitze Indiens unter einer zu stark gepuderten Perucke juckt, der kann das bei Meighorner nachfuhlen. Und was Maria Theresia bei ihrem ersten Treffen mit Clara gerochen hat, steigt von den Buchseiten direkt in die Nase. Es war uberraschend, so viel sei verraten!
