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.

Comment raconter l'amour aujourd'hui ? On pourrait décrire un mariage de conte de fées, parler de cette actrice de cinéma dont le mari producteur exploite la beauté. Ou dépeindre un émoi naissant. Mais il faudrait aussi ouvrir les portes closes des appartements bourgeois, et dévoiler la violence intime qui pousse au meurtre. C'est ainsi que Louis-Henri de La Rochefoucauld nous révèle différents visages de l'existence et interroge avec son humour et sa mélancolie légendaires la possibilité d'aimer encore au XXIe siècle.
