Gruselkabinett, Folge 157: Das Auge des Panthers

USA, 1890: Der Anwalt Jenner Brading ist einigermaßen überrascht, dass Irene Marlowe, die ihn zweifellos liebt, seine Heiratsanträge vehement ablehnt. Indes hat die begehrenswerte junge Frau mit den faszinierenden blauen Augen mehr als einen guten Grund, unverheiratet zu bleiben, wie sie ihm eines Abends in der freien Natur offenbart.

ASHES OF THE BEACON

"Ashes of the Beacon" purports to be «An Historical Monograph Written in 4930» and gives a few indications concerning the lamentable failure of «self-government» in America. It is less amusing and more analytical; and while practically everyone will find much in it to disagree with, there is also plenty to think about. Though generally conservative and frequently pigheaded, Bierce is neither a fool nor a hypocrite, and he makes his points with thoroughgoing clarity. His work as a whole is a...

Ganz gleich, ob es um allgemeine, kleine oder große Schwächen des Menschengeschlechts ging – seinem Hohn war...
