Eigentlich ist Anna ganz zufrieden mit ihrem Leben. Doch tief in ihrem Inneren spürt sie, dass es da doch noch mehr geben muss! Als sie zu einem Kurzurlaub an den Gardasee aufbricht, ahnt sie nicht, dass das nur der Beginn einer wundersamen Reise ist, die sie über mehrere Kontinente führen wird. Von einem verwunschenen Häuschen in Italien über eine Oase im Oman bis zu einem uralten Glückstempel in Indien: Überall trifft Anna auf besondere Menschen, die sie in die Geheimnisse eines wahrhaft erfüllten Lebens einweihen.

This is heralded as the very first mystery novel. Collins, in his great work, created the guidelines for the genre as we know it today: a fabulous diamond stolen, everyone in the house is suspected, three mysterious Indians sworn to protect the jewel at all costs, the upstairs/downstairs tension from the servants, and a brilliant detective who is eccentrically fond of roses.

Finnegans Wake is the greatest challenge in 20th-century literature. Who is Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker? And what did he get up to in Phoenix Park? And what did Anna Livia Plurabelle have to say about it? In the rich nighttime and the language of dreams, here are history, anecdote, myth, folk tale and, above all, a wondrous sense of humor, colored by a clear sense of humanity. In this exceptional reading by the Irish actor Barry McGovern, with Marcella Riordan, the world of the Wake is more accessible than ever before.

Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.
