It’s Midsummer’s Eve, the celebration of the longest day of the year, and on Sandhamn it’s the longest party of the year. But the fun comes to a dead halt when a young reveler is murdered, a teenage girl is found drugged and dazed on the beach, and other young women vanish. So far, what links the victims is a mystery. For Nora Linde and her new boyfriend, Jonas Sköld, the crimes are personal: one of the missing girls is Wilma, Jonas’s daughter. And her disappearance could test Nora and Jonas’s relationship in ways they never expected.

Candide and his tutor Pangloss travel the globe trying to follow the philosophy "All is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds". However, they are stung and let down at every turn, being robbed, tortured, and ridiculed, amongst other trials. On hearing about their often disasterous travels, a listener feels unfortunately less than empathetic, and can't help themselves laughing out loud at this very funny account of the trail our optimistic travellers take.

This is perhaps one of the best-loved of all journals. William Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, began it in May 1800 and resolved to keep it for a short time. She continued it for nearly three years. In it, she brought the Dove Cottage years to vivid and intimate life. She noted the walks and weather, the friends, country neighbours, and travellers on the roads. She set down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, and the composition of Wordsworth's poetry.

Gert Westphal ist eine Legende: Die wohlklingende, modulationsreiche Stimme, sein untrügliches Gespür für Rhythmus, die souveränen Tempo- und Rollenwechsel, die kräftigen Dialektfarben - nicht umsonst hat DIE ZEIT ihn zum "König der Vorleser" gekürt. Besonders berühmt wurden seine Rezitationen Thomas Manns, dessen "oberster Mund" er war.

Renowned poet and critic Clive James presents the crowning achievement of his career: a monumental translation into English verse of Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy is the precursor of modern literature, and this translation - decades in the making - gives us the entire epic as a single, coherent and compulsively listenable lyric poem. Written in the early 14th century and completed in 1321, the year of Dante’s death, The Divine Comedy is perhaps the greatest work of epic poetry ever composed.

The threats escalate when his guest lodge is burned to the ground and an unidentifiable corpse is found in the charred ruins.

Behind every great novel lies a city of unseen lives. Quiet History Behind Les Misérables invites listeners into the everyday world of ordinary people living in 19th-century Paris—the workers, vendors, mothers, children, and laborers who formed the living backdrop of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece. This book does not retell the story of Les Misérables. Instead, it explores the real social fabric that made such a story possible.

Cosa significa ricordare la Resistenza? Paolo Malaguti prende le mosse da una salita in bicicletta sul Monte Grappa per avviare un viaggio intimo e lucido nei luoghi, nelle tracce, nei silenzi della memoria resistenziale italiana. Ma ben presto il racconto si allarga, intrecciando la riflessione sulla storia con quella, attualissima, sulla memoria e sulla scuola: perché la Resistenza non è (solo) un capitolo da manuale, ma un laboratorio civile e pedagogico in cui misurare il valore della democrazia, della parola, del dissenso.

Together with William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats, George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824) was one of the most iconic literary figures of the early Romantic movement. His verse covers a wide range of genres, including large scale narrative poems, sonnets, and satirical quips. Byron led a most adventurous life, which included many romantic affairs and he died fighting in the Greek War of Independence.

The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It aroused a great sensation at the time and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theatre to the world of newspapers and society.

Brüder, Verrat & Gerechtigkeit – Schillers Drama über Freiheit, Macht und moralische Abgründe, ungekürzt gesprochen von Jürgen Fritsche. Die Räuber – Ein Drama von Friedrich von Schiller gehört zu den wichtigsten Stücken der deutschen Literatur. Weit davon entfernt, angestaubt zu wirken, behandelt es zeitlose Themen: die Suche nach Identität, den Kampf gegen Ungerechtigkeit und die zerstörerische Rivalität zweier Brüder. Schillers Erstlingswerk entfachte bei seiner Uraufführung 1782 einen Skandal – und begeistert bis heute Publikum und Leser gleichermaßen.

Wolfgang Borchert erzählt die Geschichte des Heimkehrers Beckmann, der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in ein zerbrochenes Deutschland zurückkehrt – traumatisiert, entwurzelt und von der Gesellschaft abgelehnt. In dichter Sprache und intensiven Dialogen entfaltet Borchert ein erschütterndes Zeitdokument über Schuld, Verantwortung und die Sehnsucht nach einem Platz im Leben – zwischen Hoffnung und Verzweiflung. Draußen vor der Tür ist eines der eindringlichsten Dramen der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur.
