Franca Lehfeldt: Book Author
Together with Nena Brockhaus, she published the book “Old Wise Men” – a tribute to an endangered species. An excerpt from the Spiegel bestseller: “Once upon a time, there was a world without gender stars, without Twitter shitstorms and without cautionary fingers. That was Germany before a moralizing zeitgeist rolled over the country. The modernization of the past decades has driven out some of the mustiness, but it has also exacted a price. Virtues such as the will to perform, willingness to make sacrifices, fulfillment of duty and discipline seem to be on the retreat. The personification of these values has been hit hard: the old white man. And while the men of the postwar generation are struggling to find their place in society, the prosperity of the country and its cohesion are at stake. On the brink. Coincidence? Or the consequence of a society that is plunged into identity debates?
