Doch als Jack und Sarah den Fall genauer untersuchen, kommt ihnen der Verdacht, dass jemand den Dieben geholfen hat.

Sarah und James sind im Urlaub. Im Seebad Scheveningen können sie vom Hotelzimmer aus direkt auf den Strand und das Meer sehen. Sarah ist begeistert und lauscht nachts zur Entspannung den Wellen. Bis sie etwas Ungeheuerliches beobachtet: Ein Mann wird erschossen! Der Mörder durchsucht dessen Taschen und verschwindet in der Dunkelheit. Sarah traut ihren Augen kaum.

Stefan Zweig: Sternstunden der Menschheit. Zweigs Sternstunden taugen nicht als Rekordverzeichnis nach dem Motto: die Schönste, der Stärkste, der oder die Erfolgreichste. Vielmehr schildern sie Extremsituationen des Menschlichen. Erfolg und Scheitern, Glückseligkeit und Verzweiflung, geben sich dabei die Hand. Die Sternstunden folgen auch nicht akribisch den Tatsachen, sondern konzentrieren sich auf den vom Schicksal gepackten, erhobenen und dann wieder niedergeschmetterten Menschen. Die Sternstunde, -minute oder -sekunde beschreibt die Bewährung eines Menschen, der seinem Schicksal unentrinnbar begegnet.

Nachdem Jan Malz im August 2022 mit seinen ersten 2 Texten sein Debüt auf einer Poetry Slam Bühne in Wülfrath gefeiert hat, hat er Blut geleckt. Er begann, fortan sehr viel Zeit und Herzblut darin zu investieren, neue Texte zu schreiben und sich immer wieder neue Bühnen zu suchen, um diese zu präsentieren. Nach mittlerweile über 50 Auftritten und zahlreichen Texten, die er auf Slams präsentiert hat, gibt er in diesem Buch nun bislang noch nicht veröffentlichte Kurzgeschichten zum Besten, aber auch einige seiner Slam-Texte. Von lustig bis Deeptalk ist alles dabei.

As the second son, Sef knows his place in the world is in his brother’s shadow, and his destiny is a betrothal to a woman marked for Death. Everything changes in a moment, though, when his twin’s wedding becomes his. Lady Akila finds only one thing more distasteful than allying herself to the Court of Dusk: closing her eyes to the fact that the Night Court is making bargains with the Underworld. If she has to take a bridegroom from a lesser Court to secure her people’s safety, then so be it. At least she’ll be wedding the elder brother.

Set in modern-day America and France, Renaissance Italy and Boxer Rebellion China, these stories embrace whole lifetimes, much in the manner of Alice Munro and William Trevor. Joan Silber skilfully and subtly ties one story to the next, as a minor element in one becomes a major element in the next, until the last is tied convincingly to the first. Intense in subject yet restrained in tone, they are about longings—often held for years—and the ways in which sex and religion can become parallel forms of dedication and comfort.

Russian Folk Fairy Tales is a wonderful collection of the most famous Russian fairy tales. The "Russian skazki" ("skazatz" means to tell) are the mass of folk-tales distributed widely throughout all the Russias. Handed down, by constant repetition, from generation to generation, a possession common to peasant's hut and Prince's palace from a time when history did not exist, they are to-day, from Archangel to the Black Sea, and from Siberia to the Baltic, almost as much a part of the life of the people as the language itself.

"The Cop and the Anthem" has only one character who is given a name, the protagonist "Soapy." It is made clear that Soapy is homeless, one of the underclass men and women who flocked to New York City during the earliest years of the twentieth century.
