Für eine sinnige Rechtschreibung - Eine Aufforderung zur Besinnung ohne Gesichtsverlust

What can be salvaged, how and why? In this book on the Great Spelling Reform Debate raging in Germany at present, Jean-Marie Zemb, born in Alsace in 1928 and Professor at the CollSge de France, neither sets off a smokescreen of linguistic jargon nor does he pull any punches. Going public just in time before the new spelling and punctuation rules are planned to come into force, Zemb describes possible paths towards a genuine, sensitive and future-oriented optimization of the writing and reading rules governing the correct use of present-day German.
