Story
Da sitzt der Baron Münchhausen also in einer Gastwirtschaft, ohne Geld für Speis und Trank, aber den Kopf voller Flausen. Und so tischt er seinem Publikum eine Geschichte nach der anderen auf. Natürlich ist nicht eines seiner halsbrecherischen Abenteuer geflunkert. Auf der Kanonenkugel ins feindliche Lager reiten? Kein Problem. Sich an den eigenen Haaren aus dem Sumpf ziehen? Mit links. Zum Mond klettern und wieder abseilen? Klar doch!

Story
Der berühmte Klassiker erstmals als mitreißendes Abenteuerhörspiel. Ostindien, um 1900 herum: Kapitän Marlowe erzählt die wahre Geschichte eines jungen, gutaussehenden Offiziers voller Drang nach Heldentum und großen Taten. Doch es kommt anders: Im entscheidenden Moment verliert er die Nerven und verlässt das sinkende Schiff, auf dem er dient. 800 Pilger drohen zu ertrinken. Er stellt sich der Justiz, verliert sein Offizierspatent und seine Ehre und muss fliehen, vor sich und der Wirklichkeit.

Ein Hörspieljuwel – neu entdeckt. Ein hochverschuldetes Ehepaar ermordet seinen Gläubiger – und schafft es die Polizei auf die falsche Spur zu lenken. Vorerst zumindest. Wie der Gastwirt Hradschek und seine Frau schließlich an sich selbst scheitern, das erzählt Fontane psychologisch so fein beobachtet, dass man meint, eine brandaktuelle Geschichte vor sich zu haben. Stoff genug für 70 Minuten spannende Unterhaltung, die von einem großen Sprecherensemble farbig und lebendig präsentiert wird.

Der Klassiker als Hörspiel. Diese Begegnung verändert sein Leben - und bringt ihm den Tod. Der Schriftsteller Gustav von Aschenbach reist zur Erholung nach Venedig und verfällt dort dem Knaben Tadzio. Trotz der Cholera, die in der Stadt grassiert, bleibt er in der Nähe des Angebeteten. Als Tadzio mit seiner Familie abreist, ist es für Gustav von Aschenbach bereits zu spät. Virtuos gelingt es Regisseur Ulrich Lampen die Sprache Thomas Manns in die Atmosphäre der sommerlich morbiden Lagunenstadt einzuweben.

"Schon das Gestern verschwimmt, und alles, was ein paar Tage zurückliegt, bekommt den Charakter eines unklaren Traumes." Else, Tochter eines Wiener Rechtsanwalts, erreicht im Kurort San Marino ein Brief ihrer Mutter, in dem sie Else bittet, diese möge den Kunsthändler Dorsday um ein Darlehen für Elses Vater bitten. Dorsday willigt zwar in das Geschäft ein, stellt dafür aber eine Bedingung, die Else in schwere Gewissensnöte stürzt. Seine 1924 erschienene Erzählung "Fräulein Else" gestaltet Arthur Schnitzler als einen durchgehenden inneren Monolog, als Zwitter zwischen Drama und Novelle.

Theodor und Fritz, wohlhabende Militärs, verbringen mit ihren Freundinnen eine stimmungsvolle Soiree bei Kerzenlicht, leiser Klaviermusik und belangloser Konversation. Doch Fritz wird von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt: Ein Konkurrent kreuzt mit kompromittierenden Briefen auf – ein jähes, todernstes Ende für das Tête-à-Tête. Mit dem Drama "Liebelei", 1895 uraufgeführt, hatte Arthur Schnitzler seinen ersten großen Bühnenerfolg.

Oskar Maria Graf, unbestechlicher Zeitzeuge und scharfzüngiger Humorist, im Originalton. In den Lesungen Oskar Maria Grafs schweben die Texte zwischen kraftvoller Vitalität und anrührender Zärtlichkeit. Egal, ob er sich an Begegnungen mit großen Schriftstellerkollegen erinnert, humorig den eigenen Dialekt verficht, aus seinen Kalendergeschichten liest oder zornig seine Ansprache "Verbrennt mich!" vorträgt – an Graf hört man sich nicht satt.

"Das ist der Lauf der Welt, müssen halt andre auch dran glauben." Ein Freund bittet Leutnant Willi Kasda um Hilfe bei einer Geldschuld. Willi versucht, das Geld beim Kartenspiel zu gewinnen. Zunächst ist ihm das Glück auch gewogen – doch als er elftausend Gulden verliert, hat er dem Ehrenkodex zufolge 24 Stunden Zeit, diese Schuld zu begleichen. In seiner 1926 veröffentlichten Novelle Spiel im Morgengrauen gibt Arthur Schnitzler einem seiner "süßen Mädel" die Gelegenheit, es den Männern heimzuzahlen.

"Nun, wem bist du in diesem Moment untreu?" - "Ich bin es ja leider noch nicht." In zehn Dialogen wir das Innenleben von Paaren unmittelbar vor und nach dem Liebesakt hörbar: Aus den intimen Gesprächen und entblößenden Monologen entsteht das Panorama einer Gesellschaft, die in der erkalteten Sexualität vielleicht ihre einzige Gemeinsamkeit besitzt. Schon 1897 geschrieben, wurde Arthur Schnitzlers Komödie Reigen erst 1920 in Berlin uraufgeführt – und löste einen der größten Skandale der Theatergeschichte aus. Bis 1982 war jede Aufführung verboten.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
