Publisher's Summary

Das amerikanische Kult-Hörspiel im Original.

Marsbewohner landen in New Jersey. Ein Radioreporter berichtet live von ihrem Angriff auf die Bevölkerung. Die Hörer erleben ein beklemmendes Szenario... bis Orson Welles es in der Absage zum Halloween-Scherz erklärt!

Das legendäre Hörspiel "War of the Worlds" stammt aus dem goldenen Zeitalter des American Broadcasting. Als es 1938 im amerikanischen Rundfunk gesendet wurde, löste es eine Massenpanik aus. Viele Hörer nahmen die "Reportage" für bare Münze. Das Multitalent Orson Welles ist in diesem Hörspiel selbst zu hören.

Dieses Hörspiel ist in englischer Sprache.

--Der Tagesspiegel

Ein Markstein der Medienkunst!
