Eine Parade, an der nicht ecstasy-geschwängert gewackelt wird bis zum Umfallen, wie jeden Sommer in der Zwingli Stadt. Eine Parade, die das ganze Jahr stattfindet, und an der am Rad der Zeit gedreht wird. Der Zeitreisende kehrt zurück aus der Zukunft ins Jahr 1920 und berichtet seinem erstaunten Publikum, wie die Welt in hundert Jahren aussehen wird. ... was natürlich einen eingefleischten Börsianer ganz besonders interessiert.

The Four Million is the second published collection of short stories by O. Henry originally released in 1906. There are twenty five stories of various lengths including several of his best known works such as "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Cop and the Anthem". The book's title refers to the then population of New York City where many of the stories are set. Jolly, conventional, and lively tales, these, dealing, as the group-title hints, with common things and common people. The author, Mr. O. Henry, has a knack of utilizing singular coincidences, and mingles the burlesque element with true bits of life and nature in a way as surprising as it is entertaining. Coney Island, the cheap boarding-house, the East Side drug-store, the park, the young couple in the cheap flat, the Clover Leaf Social Club—all these and other phases of the life of the "four million" in New York furnish curious incidents for little stories, each with its individual point, and all pervaded with genuine fun and here and there a touch of sentiment or pathos. Includes the following short stories: Tobin's palm -- The gift of the magi -- A cosmopolite in a café -- Between rounds -- The skylight room -- A service of love -- The coming-out of Maggie -- Man about town -- The cop and the anthem -- An adjustment of nature -- Memoirs of a yellow dog -- The love-philtre of Ikey Schoenstein -- Mammon and the archer -- Springtime à la carte -- The green door -- From the cabby's seat -- An unfinished story -- The caliph, Cupid and the clock -- Sisters of the golden circle -- The romance of a busy broker -- After twenty years -- Lost on dress parade -- By courier -- The furnished room -- The brief début of Tildy.

In dieser biografischen Kurzgeschichte beschreibe ich, wie ich den 07.10.1989 während eines Urlaubs erlebte. Da gab es etwas geisterhaftes, nicht greifbares. Das war das betretene Schweigen der DDR Regierung rund um Erich Honecker. Es war als warteten alle auf ihn, dass er endlich das Mikro in die Hand nahm, doch er schwieg und seine Mitstreiter trauten sich wohl nicht, ihn zu übergehen. So erlebte ich die Zeit des gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs in der DDR. Euer Manfred Basedow [more]

Is there such a thing as luck? Eve McAllister doesn't think so. . . . Which is a major faux pas during Cliffcoast's annual St. Patty’s Day Festival where good luck charms, green clothing, and haggis are the staple. (The enormous Scottish and Irish population has nothing to do with it--trust me.) So when she starts to get the feeling that she is being followed, her family gets an unexpected windfall of luck, and clover begins sprouting everwhere she goes, Eve is a little more than creeped out. And she should be. Such things are signs of leprechauns--and leprechauns are nothing but bad news. Out of Luck occurs a half a year after Eve McAllister discovered that she was not an ordinary girl, but a supernatural creature inclined to bite necks and cause mischief. However, Eve’s actual good nature leads her into fiascos almost worse than if she gave into her demonic appetites. HallowedSpell Vimp Novella, Book 4 [more]
