Drei der berühmtesten Erzählungen des Autors Ludwig Thoma: Käsebiers Italienreise, Lausbubengeschichten, Marget. Eine Bauerngeschichte. Auf humorvolle Art und Weise erzählt Thoma in seinen satirischen Erzählungen vom Alltagsleben in Bayern und den herrschenden politischen Umständen.

Were the new men and women human or monster? Brought back to life via vitaplasm, did they have souls? Or were they somehow less than human, people minus X?

Ein satirischer und humorvoller Blick auf das Spießbürgertum und seine Doppelmoral. In 12 Episoden erzählt Thoma die Streiche und Auflehnungen gegen Autoritäten des Schülers Ludwig. Erwachsene haben nicht immer Recht. Das zeigt Ludwig seinem strengen Umfeld ganz deutlich. Angelehnt an Thomas eigene Jugend begleiten die Hörer*innen Ludwig bei seinen lustigen Abenteuern.

The Forsyte feud continues into the next generation with Jolly and Val involved in a drunken bout of fisticuffs.Soames continues to pursue Irene driving her to seek refuge in Paris. Believing that she has a lover, he puts her under surveillance to obtain evidence. Jolyon travels to Paris on the pretext of discussing business and he and Irene spend some time together unaware their movements are being watched.

It is 1899. Old Jolyon has long since been buried at Robin Hill, and with the death of Aunt Susan in 1895 and Roger’s funeral opening this instalment of the Saga, the Forsytes are fast becoming aware of their mortality. Yet more problems beset the family.

The house at Richmond is finished at last, but Soames takes Bosinney to court for exceeding the budget. The final judgment of their case turns on ‘a very fine point’ in their correspondence.... The architect does not heed Young Jolyon’s warning and continues to pursue Irene - with fatal consequences.

In this, the second volume of the Saga to be released in an unabridged recording by Assembled Stories, Soames’ house continues to be built as his marriage disintegrates. Is Irene having an affair? Certainly her relationship with the architect Bosinney is causing ructions in the family. While attempting reconciliation with his son, Old Jolyon, spurred by June’s suffering as she feels herself losing her lover, sends Young Jolyon to sound the man’s intentions.

Jon and his mother go to Spain. The son manages to curtail the visit after six weeks.Meanwhile, Jolyon strengthens his relationship with his eldest daughter, June, who reveals that she sympathises with the young lovers. It is June who helps Fleur in her search for the history of the feud within the family. Prosper Profond, who continues to ingratiate himself with the Forsyte clan, inadvertently discloses the truth.

Soames travels to Paris to make one last attempt to regain Irene and the detective agency think they have found the man involved in the affair.Irene returns to London to seek Jolyon’s help and the two become closer while Soames takes out some insurance with Annette’s mother.The spurned husband confronts the lovers at Robin Hill in a meeting which verges on violence and as devastating news comes from the Front more young Forsytes prepare to serve their country.

Timothy, at just over 100 years of age, is the last survivor of the 10 siblings of Superior Dosset Forsyte. In this latest volume we are introduced to the grandchildren of those Forsytes who first began the Saga. Soames’s daughter Fleur is 20 at the start of the 1920s, a bright, wilful and independent spirit who can twist her father around her little finger. There is also Jon, the offspring of Jolyon and Irene, a sensitive and intelligent, though slightly naïve, young man of the same age.

"Njals Saga" dateres til sidste fjerdedel af 1200-tallet. Sagaen, som er den længste islændingesaga, er berømmet for sin kunstneriske komposition og sine uforglemmelige scener. Den handler blandt meget andet om det ubrydelige venskab mellem Gunnar og Njal og deres hævngerrige koner, og den viser hvordan en konflikt, der starter mellem enkelte individer til sidst ender med at udfordre hele retssystemet og bringe samfundet på randen af borgerkrig. I sidste ende bliver redningen den kristne tilgivelse. Men før det sker, har mange helte ladet livet.

The Forsyte Saga initially centres on Soames Forsyte - a successful solicitor living in London with his beautiful wife Irene. A pillar of the late Victorian upper middle class, materially wealthy, his appears to be a golden existence endowed with all the necessary possessions for a 'Man of Property' but beneath this very proper exterior lies a core of unhappiness and brutal relationships. When The Forsyte Saga was shown on television in 1967 it was hugely successful.
