About this listen
Er trennt sich von Lotte, nimmt eine Arbeit in der Kanzlei eines Gesandten auf. Die Unerträglichkeit der Arbeit und die Brüskierung durch den Adel lassen ihn fliehen und in die Umgebung von Lotte, die inzwischen mit Albert verheiratet ist, zurückkehren. Er bedrängt sie mit seiner leidenschaftlichen Liebe, doch sie weist ihn von sich. An seiner unglücklichen Liebe und dem Leben verzweifelt, wählt er den Freitod.
Bearbeitung: Gert Westphal, Regie: Peterpaul Schulz.©Gemeinfrei (P)1980 SWR

Um aus dieser herauszukommen, lässt er sich auf eine Wette mit dem Teufel Mephisto ein, der ihn wieder in einen jungen Mann verwandelt. Doch dann verliebt er sich in das junge Gretchen, und die Tragödie nimmt ihren Lauf.

Es war einmal einer namens Harry, genannt der Steppenwolf. Er ging auf zwei Beinen, trug Kleider und war ein Mensch, aber eigentlich war er doch eben ein Steppenwolf..." Harry Haller verzweifelt an sich selbst. Wie kann er sich einerseits nach Kunst und Schönheit sehnen und andererseits so dunkle, animalische Triebe besitzen? Dem Selbstmord nah, lernt er Hermine, eine Kurtisane, kennen.

"Die Verwandlung" gehört zu den wenigen Werken, die noch zu Kafkas Lebzeiten veröffentlicht wurden. Sie entstand im November/Dezember 1912 in drei Teilen. Ursprünglich nur eine kleine Idee, für die Kafka die Arbeit am Roman "Der Verschollene" (Amerika) unterbrach, wuchs sie sich schnell zu einer recht umfangreichen Novelle aus.

Die Erzählung schildert einen Lebensabschnitt des psychisch erkrankten Sturm-und-Drang-Dichters Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751 bis 1792). Mit einer innovativen Erzähltechnik ermöglicht Georg Büchner dem Leser ein Miterleben des Wahns, der entgegen damaliger Einschätzungen nicht als selbstverschuldet erscheint, sondern als nachvollziehbare Reaktion auf die umgebende Welt. Aus der Sicht des psychisch Kranken konnte Büchner auch den Zweifel an Gott formulieren, ohne sich angreifbar zu machen.

Als Josef K. eines Morgens aufwacht wird er überraschend verhaftet. Von einer mysteriösen Behörde soll ihm der Prozess gemacht werden. Im Laufe der Kapitel gerät K. in ein alptraumhaftes Labyrinth einer surrealen Bürokratie. K. dringt immer tiefer in dieses System ein, er erfährt Verschiedenes über die Hierarchien der "Gerichte", doch nie gelangt er zur höchsten Instanz, nie erfährt er, worin seine "Schuld" besteht. Gleichzeitig dringt das System immer weiter in K.s Leben ein. Schließlich muss er erkennen, dass der "Sinn dieser großen Organisation, dieser korrupten Bande", der Sinn dieses geheimnisvollen Prozesses die "Sinnlosigkeit" ist...

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Gerade aus der Haft entlassen, möchte sich Franz Biberkopf eine neue Existenz aufbauen. Doch den Lockungen der Großstadt kann er nicht widerstehen und wird schon bald wieder in kriminelle Machenschaften verwickelt, die ihn fast an den Galgen bringen. Das bewegende Schicksal des Arbeiters Franz Biberkopf, der sich in einer Welt des Verbrechens verirrt, steht exemplarisch für den Kampf des kleinen Mannes in einer unsicher gewordenen Welt. Döblin schuf damit einen Jahrhundertroman, der häufig mit "Ulysses" verglichen wird. Hannes Messemer liest diese atemlose, polyphone Symphonie der Großstadt bravourös ein.

Faust is one of the pillars of Western literature. This classic drama presents the story of the scholar Faust, tempted into a contract with the Devil in return for a life of sensuality and power. Enjoyment rules, until Faust’s emotions are stirred by a meeting with Gretchen, and the tragic outcome brings Part 1 to an end. Part 2, written much later in Goethe’s life, places his eponymous hero in a variety of unexpected circumstances, causing him to reflect on humanity and its attitudes to life and death.

The Bhagavad Gita, "The Song of the Lord", is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Easwaran's reliable and accessible version has consistently been the best-selling translation. Easwaran's introduction places the Gita in its historical setting and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions give clear explanations of key concepts in that chapter.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or racing through anthrax-infested Siberia. He came up with a radical vision of nature, that it was a complex and interconnected global force and did not exist for man's use alone. Ironically, his ideas have become so accepted and widespread that he has been nearly forgotten.

Little is known about the Ancient Greek oral poet Homer, the supposed 8th century BC author of the world-read Iliad and his later masterpiece, The Odyssey. These classic epics provided the basis for Greek education and culture throughout the classical age and formed the backbone of humane education through the birth of the Roman Empire and the spread of Christianity.

When did we begin to be as self-centered as we are today? At what point did we expect to have the right to determine our own lives? When did we first ask the question, how can I be free? It all began in the 1790s in a quiet university town in Germany when a group of playwrights, poets, and writers put the self at center stage in their thinking, writing, and their lives.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
