Story18
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Story0
Vom Untergang des Kleinbürgers. In "Der Trinker" schildert Hans Fallada die rasante Wandlung des Kaufmanns Erwin Sommer vom biederen Händler zum selbstzerstörerischen Trinker. Geschrieben 1944, während seiner Haftzeit in der Landesanstalt Neustrelitz, verarbeitet Fallada seine eigene Sucht nach Morphium und Alkohol, den Weg von Höhenflug und Absturz. Ein im wahrsten Sinne rauschhafter wie tragischer Roman eines Autors von Weltrang.

Story0
Gerade aus der Haft entlassen, möchte sich Franz Biberkopf eine neue Existenz aufbauen. Doch den Lockungen der Großstadt kann er nicht widerstehen und wird schon bald wieder in kriminelle Machenschaften verwickelt, die ihn fast an den Galgen bringen. Das bewegende Schicksal des Arbeiters Franz Biberkopf, der sich in einer Welt des Verbrechens verirrt, steht exemplarisch für den Kampf des kleinen Mannes in einer unsicher gewordenen Welt. Döblin schuf damit einen Jahrhundertroman, der häufig mit "Ulysses" verglichen wird. Hannes Messemer liest diese atemlose, polyphone Symphonie der Großstadt bravourös ein.

"Er hat die Selbstsicherheit eines leibhaftigen Teufels" - so das Urteil des angesehenen und wohlhabenden Arztes Austin Sloper über den Lebemann Morris Townsend, der um seine unscheinbare Tochter Catherine wirbt. Die junge Frau ist verliebt, der Vater misstrauisch - diese Konstellation ist in der Literatur erst einmal nichts Neues. Doch Henry James näherte sich mit psychologischem Röntgenblick einem scheinbar bekannten Thema und entwickelte daraus ein spitzzüngiges und messerscharfes Porträt der amerikanischen Gesellschaft um 1850.

Anne Elliot ist bereits siebenundzwanzig – und unverheiratet. Aus Standesdünkel riet ihre Familie ihr vor acht Jahren dazu, den Heiratsantrag von Annes großer Liebe, dem bürgerlichen und mittellosen Frederick Wentworth, abzulehnen. Allerdings langweilt der Alltag in den Kreisen des Landadels die kluge und unkonventionelle Anne und auch ihren Verlust scheint sie nie überwunden zu haben. Als sie eines Tages unverhofft erneut auf den mittlerweile wohlhabenden und geachteten Captain Wentworth trifft, erweckt diese Begegnung tiefe Gefühle in Anne.

Professor Timofey Pnin ist ein Ritter der traurigen Gestalt. Der Exilrusse lehrt Literatur an einem amerikanischen Provinzcollege und versucht, sich in der neuen Heimat zurechtzufinden. Weder versteht er die Feinheiten der englischen Sprache, noch ist er in der Lage, die gesellschaftlichen Codes des American Way of Life zu entschlüsseln. Überängstlich und zwanghaft, in seiner Tapsigkeit dabei anrührend, taumelt Pnin von einem Missgeschick zum nächsten. Doch trotz aller Demütigungen, die er sich nicht zuletzt selbst beifügt, schafft er es, seine Würde durch alle Widernisse zu retten.
