I remember the Rhone at Valserine; I saw it in 1825, in a pleasant excursion to Switzerland, which is one of the sweet, happy recollections of my early life. I remember with what noise, with what ferocious bellowing, the Rhone precipitated itself into the gulf while the frail bridge upon which I was standing was shaking beneath my feet. Ah well! since that time, the Rhone brings to my mind the idea of a tiger--the Rhine, that of a lion. [more]

It Is Not Improbable That Some Of Those Who Read This Book, May Feel A Wish To Know In what Manner I Became Possessed of The Manuscript. Such A Desire Is Too Just And Natural To Be Thwarted, And The Tale Shall Be Told As Briefly As Possible. During The Summer Of 1828, While Travelling among Those Valleys Of Switzerland Which Lie Between The Two Great Ranges Of The Alps, And In Which Both The Rhone And The Rhine Take Their Rise, I Had Passed From The Sources Of The Latter To Those Of The Former River, And Had Reached that Basin In the Mountains That Is So Celebrated for Containing The Glacier Of The Rhone, When Chance Gave Me One Of Those Rare Moments Of Sublimity And Solitude, Which Are The More Precious In the Other Hemisphere From Their Infrequency. On Every Side The View Was Bounded by High And Ragged mountains, Their Peaks Glittering Near The Sun, While Directly Before Me, And On A Level [more]

Einem Treffen ehemaliger Abiturienten vorgelagert, will eine kleinere Gruppe Ehemaliger eine kunsthistorisch orientierte Fahrradrundreise durch die sonnenbeschienenen Landschaften der Provence veranstalten. Zielpunkt ist Avignon, wo im ehemaligen Papstpalast eine Ausstellung zu den mittelalterlichen sieben Todsünden stattfindet. Doch plötzlich finden sich alle inmitten eines gnadenlosen Thrillers wieder, die ursprünglich luxuriös angelegte Fahrradtour wandelt sich in eine brutale Rallye mit dem Tod. Die sieben Todsünden sind mit einem Mal brandaktuell: Hochmut, Geiz, Wollust, Zorn, Völlerei, Neid und Faulheit spielen ihre tödliche Rolle. Die provencalische Landschaft vom Pont du Gard über Saintes-Maries an der Mittelmeerküste, die Camargue und die Steilfelsen der alten Festung Les Baux bis zu den Gärten des Papstpalastes hoch über der Rhone mutieren zur Horror-Kulisse mit wenigen Überlebenden.
