Der kostenlose, vom Autor um die Weitschweifigkeit gekürzte, einzige Teil der Bittenichthören -Trilogie. Warum man dieses Hörbuch besser nicht hört, ist leider der Kürzung zum Opfer gefallen. Wer den Grund unbedingt wissen will, greife zur Langfassung. Absurd, aber gut. Wie immer verleiht Erik Wikki jeder Figur eine ganz besondere, charakteristische Stimme. Spannend, kurzweilig und nicht selten zum Schieflachen. Trotzdem. Bitte nicht hören.

From the first bite to the final crumb, this is the saga of that biscuit, told with the seriousness it never asked for and the depth it could never deserve. Along the way, hunger wrestles with hesitation, distractions arrive in the form of a knock at the door and phantom phone calls, and the great philosophical questions of our time are asked—such as whether regret tastes different when it is edible, and why the fridge is always worth checking at least three times.

À la fin du siècle, une figure du Décadentisme invoque un démon sans visage: l’absurde. Dans ce roman où le réel se lézarde, les certitudes vacillent, les élans et les répulsions se heurtent, et la condition humaine affleure, mise à nu. Fidèle à une esthétique anti-réaliste, la narration glisse entre clairvoyance et vertige, mêlant trouble, ironie sombre et élégance vénéneuse, pour sonder ce qui nous meut quand toute logique se défait.

Ein Roman von Franz Kafka, gesprochen von Moritz Brendel. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Bankangestellte Josef K., gegen den ein Prozess anhängig ist. Das Gericht agiert im Geheimen, und bis zu seiner Hinrichtung erfährt K. nicht einmal den Grund der Anklage. Ort der Handlung ist eine fiktive deutsche Großstadt. Die Zeit der Handlung stimmt mit ihrer Entstehungszeit überein. Dennoch, die Welt, die er erschaffen hat, scheint weniger als andere literarische Welten an Zeit und Raum gebunden, obwohl sie fest in realistischer Schilderung fundiert ist und von dort immer wieder ins scheinbar Phantastische schweift.
