About the Book

In Namibia wird Deutsch und Englisch gesprochen (neben Afrikaans und vielen Stammessprachen). Daher ist das Buch in Englisch und Deutsch. Kinder erzählen Geschichten über Kinder. Wir sehen glückliche und lachende Gesichter. Aber was lernen wir von ihnen? Eine ganze Menge. Was denken und fühlen sie? Was spielen sie? Wovon träumen sie? Wovor haben sie Angst? Du siehst, da sind viele Fragen, die wir so nicht beantworten können. Daher macht es Sinn, die Kinder selbst zu fragen, uns von ihnen erzählen zu lassen, was sie den ganzen Tag tun. Oder in der Nacht, denn die Nächte sind wirklich dunkel in Afrika. Manchmal braucht man einen schlauen Sohn, der den Donner in einem Sack fangen kann. Oder ein Mädchen telefoniert so lange, bis der Teletokoloshe ihr Handy frisst. Die Mädchen haben Brüder, denen sie mit den Aufgaben helfen müssen. Ein grüner Löwe ist die Hauptfigur in einem Theaterstück. Ein Baby geht verloren und taucht wieder auf. Ein Mädchen will auf eine Party, aber ihr Rock ist verliehen. Ein Bauchnabelpiercing macht Probleme usw.Eria, der Junge auf dem Buchumschlag, erzählt alle diese Geschichten. Aber er hat ein Problem, als ein fremder Junge angeblich seine Geschichten stiehlt ... People speak German and English in Namibia (apart from Afrikaans and many indigenous languages). That is why the book is in German and English. Children tell stories about children. We can see happy and smiling faces. But what do we learn from them? An awful lot. What do they think and feel? What games do they play? What do they dream of? What are they afraid of? You see, there are so many questions which we normally are unable to answer. Therefore it makes sense to ask the children themselves, to be told by them what they are doing all day long. Or at night because nights are really dark in Africa. Sometimes one needs a clever son who can catch the thunder in a sack. Or a girl phones with her friends for long hours until the tele-tokoloshe eats up her cellphone. The girls have brothers
About the Author: Johannes O. Jakobi, geboren 1948 in Schmalwasser/Sandberg (Bayrische Rhön), lebt heute in Schlangenbad. Nach dem Studium der Soziologie, Politologie und Germanistik promovierte er zum Doktor der Philosophie und arbeitete die folgenden Jahre als Studienrat an einem Frankfurter Gymnasium. Ein vierjähriger Aufenthalt in Namibia inspirierte ihn zu literarischen Arbeiten. Es entstanden zunächst der Band "Africamerone", eine Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten verschiedener namibischer Autoren der Literaturgruppe "Doppelpunkt", verlegt in Namibia, dann die beiden Bände von Kurzgeschichten in der Reihe Edition Literatur des Afra-Verlages "Der lange Tod der Hibiskusblüte" und "Im Haus der Nachtkatze"."Die schönen Töchter der Morbid Invest" widmen sich einem neuen Themenbereich: die Branchen eines Firmenimperiums. Aktuelle Bücher behandeln skurrile Kriminalfälle, oder haben Geschichten für Kinder zum Thema.
