Abstract

Do not let the bilingual title frighten you away from this book. With the exception of the picture titles and the bibliography of the East German Commission of Cultural Research, everything that is written in German has the English translation alongside. The chapter on nicknames may lose a little of its subtle humor in the translation, but English readers will still enjoy the origins and meanings of the many nicknames listed.
