This compilation contains episodes 7-9. "Sweet Revenge." Alfie is back in London - but even a wild social whirl with his best friend Oscar can't disguise the fact that he misses Bunburry.

Udo Jürgens’ erzählerisches Vermächtnis. Ein Junge, der auf dem Balkon tanzt und davon träumt, Musiker zu werden. Ein Maler, der sich im Café an seine Anfänge erinnert.

Verschollene Wunschzettel, verschneite Berghütten und mörderische Geständnisse an Heiligabend – Bestsellerautor Ragnar Jónasson mit beschaulich-schaurigen Weihnachtsgeschichten aus Island. Gekonnt wechselt er zwischen behaglicher Idylle und eiskalten Gänsehaut-Momenten. Da ist der unerwartete Einsatz des Polizisten Ari Arason, der ganz harmlos beginnt; da steht ein verängstigter Mann an Heiligabend vor der Haustür und hat eine ungewöhnliche Bitte; und da ist Hulda Hermannsdóttir, die ein scheinbar unverfängliches Gespräch mit einem besorgten Vater beginnt.

Siegfried Lenz' erste Kurzgeschichtensammlung besticht durch seine typisch erfrischende Erzählweise. Der Schauplatz der zwanzig Erzählungen sind die idyllischen Masuren. In der Geschichte Duell in kurzem Schafspelz beispielsweise treffen sich auf einem schmalen Waldweg zwei Pferdeschlitten. Die sturen Fahrer sehen nicht ein, dem jeweils anderen Platz zu machen und so hängen sie monatelang an der gleichen Stelle fest. Diese und weitere absurd komische Erzählungen versprechen Hörspaß der Extraklasse.

Bruno zögert, atmet tief durch, krempelt die Ärmel hoch – und zaubert ein Festmahl und ganz nebenbei ein großartiges Lesevergnügen.
