In Rhetorik am Stuhl I explored rhetorical devices, the playful tricks of language, by transforming a simple chair into visual metaphors. The familiar object loses its everyday function and becomes a stage for humor, absurdity and new meaning.

The book brings together 40 pages. Each page combines a clear definition of a rhetorical figure with a black-and-white chair illustration. A chair that sits on another chair becomes personification. A spiky, uncomfortable chair labeled “the comfortable chair” becomes irony. Other chairs twist, duplicate or contradict themselves, always reflecting how language can be bent into unexpected forms.

The result is a mix of theory and illustration that is both accessible and entertaining. What usually feels abstract or academic becomes tangible and playful. Rhetorik am Stuhl invites readers to see language from a new perspective and shows how nonsense can make learning intuitive and even open doors to new narratives.

The book is gonna be used in an academic setting in the future.
