Angela Merkel is pertained as „the most powerful woman of the world“ (Forbes), but what probels her? But what makes her political acting and
thinking out?
Andreas Rinke - senior correspondent of the news agency „Reuters“ and „chancellorwatcher“- tries to work this out in his encyclopedia.
Within 340 Keywords- which are regularly updated and extended on his same-named blog- he describes the perhaps mostly discussed politician of
our time. Thereby the author tries, besides the professional aspect, also to afford deep views into the human behind the chancellor.
»Rage (and emotions) The officially so controlled Merkel shall also swear sometimes within her inner circle. Despite of that in the opinions of her collegues, she certainly belongs to the group of people who get quiet within massive aggragation. So that doesn´t seldom lead to calm declaimed acrid derision or cynism, a friend oft he party of CDU says. Then everyone knows: she means it very serious.«
»Who doesn´t want to rely on rumours and prejudices will be well served with this book. This encyclopedia is a depository of a fair
assessment of the chancellor.«
Die Tageszeitung
»Fastitious and without judgement. […] But it´s not just keyhole-journalism that Rinke banned on over 450 pages. [...]
We know the chancellor? Now, at least, a little bit better.«
MDR aktuell
»Who holds the Merkel-encyclopedia oft he german journalist Andreas Rinke in his hands, recognizes: There is a lot more to discover
about the most powerful woman oft he world. Inside of this book he collected worth-knowing, but also quirky stuff about the chancellor
in the form of an encyclopedia.«
Der Standard
»Another book about Merkel now? And just at this time, where there is already told about the beginning oft he end of the Merkel-era?
Especially that´s why it´s advisable, to get to know Merkel in this different, diverting way: an encyclopedia.«
Handelsblatt
»Rinke wants the reader to create a picture of Merkel himself. [...] Rinke complains about an collective, snatching loss of memory.
This he wants to counteract and he´s successfull with that.«
Bayerischer Rundfunk – Kulturwelt
»A novelty. [...] Rinke created an interesting, practical reference book- also for students, journalists or politicians.«
