Failed - The Art of Failure

Sometimes it's the moments when everything goes wrong—when plans implode, ideas shatter, and life has ideas of its own—that shape us the most. They are the moments in which we grow, pause, begin anew – or simply laugh heartily. Because there is often a special magic in failure: that of humanity, that of learning – and that of humor. ­ The anthology “Failed – The Art of Failure” brings together stories that tell, with a smile, how imperfect life is – and how beautiful that can be. Whether embarrassing mishaps, ambitious plans with unforeseen outcomes, bizarre ideas that never took off, or simply the sheer chaos of everyday life: these texts show that stumbling is not the end, but often the beginning of great stories. ­ With a keen sense of intuition, self-irony and a great deal of heart, the authors guide us through personal, fictional and absurd scenarios.
