Kurzbeschreibung

The difference between the men and the boys is the price of their toys. NASA astronaut, Norman E. Thagard, is dedicated to building hi-fi amplifiers. The German rapper, Smudo, races in an eco-friendly car. Fashion designer, Willy Bogner, performs ski stunts for Bond movies and his own productions. The book features lots of toys and the boys behind them. It’s a collection of 16 short stories edited by the German technical journalist, Stefan Schickedanz, who lives in Stuttgart and is well known for his reviews and reports in some of the leading magazines of his country: “Men’s Health”, “sport auto”, “Motor Klassik”, “AUDIO”, “Spiegel Online”, and many more. Driven by the surprising success of “Männerspielsachen” for iPhone in the USA, Canada and Great Britain, Schickedanz translated two chapters of his book with his American friend Joe Grand, who has a similar sense of humour, but more sophisticated knowledge of the English language.

The First chapter of this double feature, “The beauty of speed”, tells the story of probably the fastest listening test on earth, which the author, who is a passionate sports car driver, performed in the summer of 2007 in a BMW M5 going over 200 miles an hour. One day before, he swore to himself, never to go over 100 mph on public roads …

Press reviews of “Männerspielsachen”:

Video-Home-Vision, Volker Strassburg: “A delicate piece of literature not only for die hard audio fanatics: ‘Männerspielsachen‘ looks behind the scenes of the test magazines in an entertaining way. It introduces the protagonists of the business and illustrates the history. Author, Stefan Schickedanz, proves to be a long-time test specialist, a lover of wrist watches as well as a car and sport fanatic.”

AUDIO, Christof Hammer: “Very amusing - for example - car talk with Fanta 4 rapper and race car driver, Smudo, or the report of probably the fastest listening test of all times in a BMW M5 at over 200 mph.”

Magnus.de, Eric Bonner: “With reviews, interviews and reports, high tech author, Stefan Schickedanz, earns respect. In ‘Männerspielsachen” he deals with a lot of themes from rallye training with vice World Champion, Uwe Nittel, to his thoughts on a computer virus, to car talk with German pop star, Smudo. Most of all, the author clings to the men behind the toys like fashion designer, Willy Bogner or NASA Astronaut, Norman E. Thagard.”
