Story
In questo celebre e studiato racconto viene preconizzato il destino dell'arte figurativa nel secolo successivo a quello in cui visse il grande scrittore, il suo declino da quel linguaggio o strumento di comunicazione di un uomo con altri uomini, che era stato fin dalle sue origini, all'esercizio solipsistico, egocentrico, solitario e arrogante in cui si sarebbe configurato in epoca moderna.

Story
Ein Alptraum für jeden Künstler: Der alte Maler Frenhofer strebt besessen nach dem "Absoluten der Kunst". Er sucht die perfekte Illusion des Lebens jenseits von Farbe, Form und Perspektive. Seit einem Jahrzehnt malt er deswegen an dem Porträt einer Frau, niemand hat sein Werk zu Gesicht bekommen. Als Frenhofer das Bild schließlich vor zwei befreundeten Malern enthüllt, können sie ihren Augen kaum glauben... Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850), französischer Schriftsteller, gilt als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter des Realismus.

Story
Eine Verschwörung gegen Napoleon im Jahr 1806 ist der Ausgangspunkt dieses Romans, den Balzac 1842 veröffentlichte. Die Königstreuen wollten die Macht an sich reißen und den Kaiser stürzen. Doch die Hintergründe dieser Verschwörung blieben viele Jahre im Dunklen. Erst Jahrzehnte später lüftet sich bei einer Abendgesellschaft das Geheimnis... Walter Hilsbecher liest Balzacs Roman, der auf historischen Ereignissen beruht und mit seiner sich auf Indizien und Zeugenaussagen stützenden schrittweisen Aufklärung als unmittelbarer Vorläufer des modernen Kriminalromans gilt.

Story
Whilst faith can be practiced anywhere religious faith is usually at a church or temple. The stories in this volume are centered both in houses of worship and with those with a strong association to its calling. Of course, short story authors have a determined belief in their undoubted talents to make us look at this subject from different angles. In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining.

Story
La storia di Eugénie è ambientata a Saumur, piccolo paesino della campagna francese. Il padre di Eugénie, che in città è conosciuto come papà Grandet, è un vecchio vignaiuolo arricchitosi grazie all'eredità paterna fatta fruttare tramite giusti investimenti finanziari, ha un fiuto infallibile per gli affari e ad una proverbiale avarizia, che suscita in lui un notevole attaccamento all'oro che “sembrava aver comunicato il suo colore al suo viso”. Nonostante la sua ricchezza, quindi, il padrone di casa fa di tutto per nasconderla, non parlarne e, soprattutto, non spenderla.

Der famose französische Chirurg „Desplein“ ist Meister seines Fachs und nimmt sich als Mentor des fleißigen jungen Doktors „Bianchon“ an, der an seinem medizinischen Lehrer zwar in regelmäßigen Abständen gegensätzliche Verhaltensweisen wahrnimmt, aber diese emotionale Ambivalenz darauf zurückführt, dass diese allen genialen Männern zu eigen ist. Als er seinen Mentor aber eines Tages dabei ertappt wie dieser einen Gottesdienst besucht, obwohl er in der Öffentlichkeit flammende Reden gegen die Religion führt ist das Maß voll.

Story
Die Pension der Madame Vauquer vereint Menschen aus verschiedenen Schichten an ihrem Mittagstisch. Vor dem Hintergrund der Restauration entsteht ein gesellschaftliches Bild von Paris im beginnenden 19. Jahrhundert. Im Zentrum aber steht die Liebe eines Vaters zu seinen Töchtern, die keine Grenzen kennt. Dem nur scheinbaren Glück dieser Töchter, deren gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg er finanziert, opfert er alles, schließlich sogar sein Leben. Dabei steht Goriot für einen anachronistischen Idealismus, über den die neue Zeit erbarmungslos hinwegrollt.

“Sonradan şark şiirinin ruhumda ışıması gibi birdenbire parlayan bir kadın kokusu aldım. Yanımda oturan kadına baktım ve gözlerimi bu eğlenceden de çok kamaştırdı; birdenbire tüm şenliğim o oldu. Daha önceki yaşamımı iyi anladıysanız, o anda kalbimden fışkıran duyguları da tahmin edebilirsiniz. Okşayabilmek için deliye döndüğüm bu ak ve yuvarlak omuzlara takıldı gözlerim; sanki ilk kez çıplak kalmış gibi hafifçe pembeleşmişlerdi. Pek edepli, adeta bir ruhu olan ve ışıkta ipekli bir kumaş gibi parlayan saten bir teni vardı bu omuzların. Dinlemek için çok iyi bir seçim.

Story
In diesem Dreiteiler, der wiederum Teil der monumentalen "comédie humaine" ist, beschreibt Honoré de Balzac die Irrungen und Wirrungen eines Dichters aus der Provinz in Paris. Das Frankreich der bourbonischen Restauration und seine oft bizarre Spaltung zwischen Paris und der Provinz wird in helles Licht getaucht. Der Dichter Lucien Chardon mit all seinen Begabungen erfährt einen Charaktertest, in dem klar wird, dass Ehrgeiz ohne eine entsprechende Bereitschaft zu demütiger Arbeit kein Erfolg beschieden sein kann.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Story
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.
