"Und es trieb die Rede mich an..."

On the occasion of his 65th birthday, one of the most prominent German rhetoricians, literary critics and publicists, Gert Ueding, was honoured with a festschrift by the School of Rhetoric at the University of Tubingen. In their contributions, his friends, companions and colleagues reflect the wide range of Gerd Ueding s interests, which encompass classical philosophy and rhetoric as much as popular authors such as Karl May and Wilhelm Busch, philosophers such as Aristotle, Bloch and Hegel, together with contemporary modern literature."
