Die Totenwache

Ambrose Bierces Geschichten sind in einer wunderbar poetischen Sprache geschrieben, aber zugleich unglaublich schauerlich. Ein Mann betritt das Zimmer in dem die Leiche liegt, die Tür schließt sich wie von selbst und das Geräusch von einem Schlüssel, der im Türschloss gedreht wird, ist zu hören. Diese Totenwache erfolgt nicht freiwillig … Andreas Fröhlich erzählt diese schaurig-schöne Gruselgeschichte in einer ungekürzten Lesung.

"The Bitter Bierce". Siegeszug der zynischen Vernunft Der amerikanische Schriftsteller Ambrose Bierce (1842-Weihnachten/Neujahr 1913/14) hatte nicht nur eine scharfe Zunge, sondern auch eine spitze Feder. Er war einer der schillerndsten Gestalten im literarischen Amerika des 19. Jahrhunderts – die personifizierte Provokation und ein gehässiger Zyniker, der kein Thema ausließ. Ganz gleich, ob es um allgemeine, kleine oder große Schwächen des Menschengeschlechts ging – seinem Hohn war...

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...
