Toll.
My German teacher told me about the movie and I knew that I had to read the book when I found it. The dialect makes it a more advanced read.
Hans Pfeiffer is a succesful writer. He has never gone to school, because he was home-schooled. While drinking Feuerzangenbowle with friends, he realises that he missed out. Consequently, he decides to dress up as a student and to go to school. He is a troublemaker and ends up ruling over the school and chasing after the director's daughter.
I wished that the last part of the book was removed or different, because I didn't like it.

Komisch. Die ursprüngliche Idee für Rodney Dangerfields "Mach’s noch mal, Dad".

Letztlich ist der Film bedeutend besser, auch wenn er einige nette Szenen völlig auslässt. Dafür muss man bei ihm nicht die unerträgliche Frauenfeindlichkeit des Autors erdulden.

„Dieser Roman ist ein Loblied auf die Schule, aber es ist möglich, dass die Schule es nicht merkt“ (This book is an ode of praise to schools, but it is possible that schools won't notice this).
Yes, it's true: This book is a large part of the reason why I decided to become a teacher. Not because I wanted to be a teacher like the stern authoritarian Masters in this book, no, but because it IS a lovesong to what schools are and mean and what they represent, and the hold they have in people's mind long after the last bell sounded even today- or rather, what they can mean, if we let it.
To me, it is a reminder of the blessing that I get to work with these young people every day and get to spend their youth with them, such exciting and fraught and wild times, and it shows everything I love about school very well.
The language is beautiful, too.
"wahr sind auch die Erinnerungen, die wir mit uns tragen; die Träume, die wir spinnen, und die Sehnsüchte, die uns treiben."
(true are also the memories we carry; the dreams we spin and the yearnings which drive us).
