Desperate German is a twisted adventure through the absurdities of German fairytales, language, and culture.

In this fully illustrated, beautifully crafted hardcover, you'll follow the siblings Hans & Greta as they encounter unreliable trains, mobster grandmothers, and reimagined fairytale stories such as Snow White, Rapunzel, The Little Red Riding Hood(ie), The Big Ba(l)d Wolf, Beauty is the Beast, Sinderella (with an S, because she sins), and many, many more.

From the viral sensation behind the "Desperate German" series and the bestselling "Verzweifelt Kochen" and "Verzweifelt Trinken" books, this fully illustrated hardcover is a visual and literary treat. Alongside each story, you’ll find cultural insights and "useful German phrases" to help you survive your own absurd adventures—whether you're fighting German bureaucracy, planning an illegal rave or just trying to catch a train on time.
