In Mekka - Karl Mays Gesammelte Werke, Band 50 (ungekürzte Lesung)

Karl May hat die Fortsetzung seiner Erzählung «Am Jenseits» (Band 25) immer wieder angekündigt, aber nie zu Papier gebracht. Franz Kandolf übernahm ein Jahrzehnt nach Mays Tod diese schwierige Aufgabe und löste sie vortrefflich. Er traf genau Karl Mays Stil der abenteuerlichen Reiseerzählungen. In der für Nichtmuslime verbotenen Stadt Mekka laufen all die geheimnisvollen Verwicklungen aus Band 25 um den blinden 'Münedschi', den verräterischen 'El Ghani' und den gestohlenen...

Winnetou I auf Bayrisch (ungekürzte Lesung)

Ein skurriles Projekt? Nein, eher spaßig und kurzweilig! Der edelste aller Indianer ist wohl Karl Mays Apatschenhäuptling Winnetou, von dem der niederbayerische Kabarettist, Moderator und Buchautor «Der Fälscher» Wolfgang «Woife» Berger seit seiner Kindheit begeistert ist. Und so will Berger die Geschichte seines Helden mal auf Bayrisch erzählen und hat kurzerhand den ersten Band des WINNETOU in eine gekürzte 90-Minuten-Version 'übersetzt'. Zur Aufführung und Aufnahme gesellte sich...

The Secret Flower

Jane Tyson Clement

The Secret Flower

It won’t take you long to see why Jane Tyson Clement’s short stories have become perennial favorites for adults and children alike. Written with a measured beauty that recalls Tolstoy and Tolkien, these tales are rich in allegorical symbolism and evocation of mood. They are infused throughout with the thrill of expectancy, a sense that something new is on the way, and a certainty that God is seeking us, just as we seek him. In an age where cleverness often counts more than substance, Clement’s...

Puro Amor

Sandra Cisneros

Puro Amor

Sandra Cisneros has a fondness for animals and this little gem of a story makes that abundantly clear. “La casa azul,” the cobalt blue residence of Mister and Missus Rivera, overflows with hairless dogs, monkeys, a fawn, a “passionate” Guacamaya macaw, tarantulas, an iguana, and rescues that resemble “ancient Olmec pottery.” Missus loves the rescues most “because their eyes were filled with grief.” She takes lavish care of her husband too, a famous artist, though her neighbors insist he has eyes...
