In ironischer Phantastik schildert Kreisler bzw. Hoffmann die musikalischen Verhältnisse seiner Zeit und spart nicht an Gesellschaftskritik, die manches Schmunzeln auslöste, manchmal aber auch nachdenken ließ – denn was ist Musik heute (geld)wert?

What if your very first dance could sweep you into a world of dazzling lights, laughter, and unforgettable magic? In "Her First Ball", Katherine Mansfield tells the enchanting story of eighteen-year-old Leila, a wide-eyed country girl visiting the city for the first time. Stepping into her cousin’s grand ball, she is mesmerized by swirling gowns, sparkling chandeliers, and the thrill of being noticed. Every smile, every dance, every glittering detail overwhelms her with joy and wonder - until a cynical older man delivers a sharp reminder that youth and beauty are fleeting.

Step into the exquisitely crafted world of Katherine Mansfield, one of the pioneers of modern short fiction. This collection brings together two of her most celebrated works - "The Bliss and Other Stories" and "The Garden Party and Other Stories" - offering a masterclass in subtlety, emotion, and keen observation. From the delicate joys and quiet sorrows of everyday life to the intricate dance of human relationships, Mansfield’s stories explore the hidden complexities beneath ordinary moments.

Relatos fantásticos de gatos y trenes es un intento por reivindicar a dos criaturas que por frecuentación o excesiva confianza solemos rebajar a simples arquetipos. Los gatos y los trenes ocupan un lugar privilegiado en este libro, y no justamente por asociaciones caprichosas sino por astucias mutuas, por sincronías, por merodeos cómplices en la noche. Los narradores clásicos incluidos evidencian un destino que pocos han logrado eludir: es imposible escribir un relato habitado por felinos o ferrocarriles sin que el misterio sea el verdadero protagonista.

What if the person you love finally returned home… but something about her felt quietly, disturbingly different? In "The Stranger", tension doesn’t explode—it builds. A reunion meant to be warm and joyful slowly turns uncertain… then uneasy… then quietly haunting. Small details begin to matter. Silences stretch too long. Emotions shift in ways that can’t quite be explained. With her signature psychological precision, Katherine Mansfield draws you into an intimate moment where love, perception, and reality begin to blur.

Der amerikanische Prosa-Künstler Washington Irving hat mit seinen Erzählungen einen prägenden Einfluss auf die amerikanische Literatur ausgeübt. Das liegt an seiner sehr angenehmen Sprachgestaltung und dem Realitätsbezug des gewählten Gegenstands. Allerdings ummantelt er seine Geschichten ebenso gerne mit einem Grotesk-Phantastischen Gewand, so dass man zum einen nie weiß was als nächstes kommt und zum anderen immer das Gefühl vermittelt bekommt hautnah dabei zu sein, wobei einem die beschriebenen Szenen sofort vor dem geistigen Auge vorüberzuziehen scheinen.

Some of the best relationships that exist in this world are nameless ones. They crouch behind those sanctioned by society: the legitimate ones, the ones that you can define because they are approved, allowed, understood and normal. In this finely crafted short story, Preeti Shenoy examines one of these ‘nameless relationships’, peeling back the layers of complexities that underlie marriage, love, desire - and the many grey zones that lie between two people.

Clive Merrison stars as Holmes, with Michael Williams as Watson, in these four adventures from the unique, fully dramatised BBC canon of Conan Doyle stories: A Study In Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear.

At the heart of these stories, as with all the best of Lovecraft’s work, is the belief that the Earth was once inhabited by powerful and evil gods, just waiting for the chance to recolonise their planet. Cthulhu is one such god, lurking deep beneath the sea until called into being by cult followers who – like all humans – know not what they do.
