Ergebnis für "Roland Perry" in Literatur & Belletristik

"Rasender Roland", so wird ironisch die Kleinbahn genannt, die in gemächlichem Tempo über die Ferieninsel Rügen zuckelt. Der wahre Rasende Roland aber, der Orlando furioso des Ludovico Ariosto, trägt seinen Beinamen nicht wegen der Geschwindigkeit, sondern wegen seiner kaum bezähmbaren Leidenschaft in Liebesangelegenheiten, die ihn bis in den Wahnsinn treibt. Gelesen wird das weltberühmte Vers-Epos in der klassischen Übersetzung von Johann Diederich Gries (1775-1842).

Vic Cavalier has certainly had better weeks. His newspaper editor is hell-bent on showing him the door, his footy team lost its last game and his drinking habit is winning the war with his better angels. And then there's the man with the bullet in his head and links to a Mexican drug cartel lying in a Carlton laneway. When his editor wants the story, Cavalier finds himself in Bangkok, uncomfortably close to the action and under the watchful eye of a local cop with an intriguing background herself.
