Sharpe, 1996 - 285 páginas Werner is a scholar of classical and American studies, and has taken part in national politics in both the US and Germany. He published The Existential Runner: Uber die Demokratie in Amerika just after the 1992 elections, and declined to revise this translation in light of the 1994 elections. Liberally scattering his text with quotations, cartoon strips, advertisements, and other artifacts, he addresses the concern that democracy in the US is jeopardized by excess in the application of its virtues.
