But Hauptmann's net begins closing in on the Escape Line and the need for a terrifyingly audacious mission grows critical.

Story
Das neue Hörbuch von Arno Geiger - aufrichtig und lebensklug. Frühmorgens bricht ein junger Mann mit dem Fahrrad in die Straßen der Stadt auf. Was er dort tut, bleibt sein Geheimnis. Zerschunden und müde kehrt er zurück. Und oft ist er glücklich. Jahrzehntelang hat Arno Geiger ein Doppelleben geführt. Jetzt erzählt er davon. "Wenn man jung ist, ist alles einfach wie Messer und Gabel." Und doch bleibt die Frage, die sich jeder stellt: Wie finde ich meinen Weg durchs Leben? Arno Geiger erzählt von seinem sehr persönlichen Umgang damit. Wie er Dinge tat, die andere unterlassen.

1934 beginnt die junge Evelyn Prentis im Krankenhaus von Nottingham ihre Ausbildung zur Krankenschwester. Weniger weil es ihr Traum ist, sondern vielmehr auf Drängen ihrer Mutter, die ihre Tochter versorgt wissen möchte. Schon bald lernt Evelyn den rauen und harten Krankenhausalltag kennen. Sie muss kochen, putzen, waschen und dabei stets die strenge Hierarchie der Schwestern beachten. Doch zwischen all der Arbeit, der Schikane und den vielen traurigen Schicksalen, erlebt Evelyn auch immer wieder Momente der Hoffnung und des Glücks...

Story
Frankfurt am Main, 1889: Als die junge Näherin Käthe erstmals dabei zusieht, wie ein Ballonfahrer in den Himmel aufsteigt, ist sie gebannt. Kurz darauf fällt ihr der Luftschiffer Hermann Lattemann buchstäblich vor die Füße. Sie nimmt ihr Schicksal in die Hand, beginnt, für ihn zu arbeiten, sie verlieben sich - und schnell genügt es ihr nicht mehr, nur seine Ballons zu flicken: Sie will selbst hinauf und die Freiheit des Himmels spüren. Gemeinsam steigen Käthe und Hermann auf - und springen mit dem Fallschirm ab.

Story
Quando Mimmo Bosso torna sull'Isola, dopo anni di studi trascorsi al Nord, è ancora un magistrato alle prime armi. È volenteroso e preparato, ma non c'è nessuna missione da crociato ad attenderlo, nessun ideale cui dare sfogo. Eppure, in Procura il clima è incandescente e sulle scrivanie degli inquirenti si accumulano le carte del Grosso Caso, dalle quali emergono i nomi di spicco della criminalità organizzata. Le indagini non hanno risparmiato nessuno, ci sono intrighi di Palazzo, "interessi generali e particolari.

Story
Nora Barnacle ist zwanzig und Zimmermädchen in einem Dubliner Hotel, als sie den zwei Jahre älteren James Joyce kennenlernt. Aus der zunächst körperlichen Beziehung entwickelt sich eine tiefe Liebe. Nora ist bereit, alles für Joyce aufzugeben - verlässt mit ihm sogar ihre Heimat Irland, trotz seiner Weigerung, sie zu heiraten. Schwierige Jahre in Triest, Pula und Zürich folgen, geprägt von großer Armut, von Joyce' Trunksucht und von seinem labilen Gesundheitszustand, vor allem aber von seiner Besessenheit: Für ihn zählt nur sein literarisches Werk.
