Publisher's summary

In einem entvölkerten Amerika versucht eine Handvoll Überlebender die Zivilisation zu retten. Ihr Gegenspieler ist eine mythische Gestalt, die man den Dunklen Mann nennt, die Verkörperung des absolut Bösen. In der Wüste von Nevada kommt es zum Entscheidungskampf um das Schicksal der Menschheit.

"The Stand", Stephen Kings Vision vom letzten Gefecht zwischen Gut und Böse, war bislang nur in einer stark gekürzten Version zugänglich. Die hier veröffentlichte Urfassung zeigt die Größe seines apokalyptischen Entwurfs. Manche nennen diesen Roman sein Meisterwerk!

Editorial reviews

Kings Apokalypse: Gut oder böse - auf welcher Seite stehst Du?

Mit "The Stand" hat Stephen King einmal mehr bewiesen, dass er der Meister des Thrillers ist. Seine Geschichte spielt in einem Amerika, das nach dem Ausbruch eines tödlichen Virus nahezu entvölkert ist. Die wenigen Überlebenden werden durch Träume in zwei Richtungen gelenkt: entweder zu der 108-Jährigen Abigail Freemantle in Nebraska oder zu dem "Dunklen Mann" nach Las Vegas. Es entstehen zwei Lager: Gut und Böse, die am Ende in einem apokalyptischen Gefecht um das Schicksal der Menschheit aufeinandertreffen.

"The Stand" gehört zu Kings umfangreichsten Werken. Dem Sprecher David Nathan ist es zu verdanken, dass während der mehr als 54 Stunden Spieldauer des Hörbuchs keine Längen entstehen. Ihm gelingt es, die einzelnen Personen und ihre inneren Konflikte eindringlich darzustellen. Seine tiefe, abgeklärt klingende Stimme nimmt den Hörer mit auf die Straßen einer zerstörten Zivilisation und steigert die Spannung unaufhörlich - bis zum furiosen Finale.

Classic Story

This was a great translation of The Stand. I enjoyed listening to it in German.

Bought this and it was not in English, my error.

I need a way to swap this out for the English version without paying again.

Language not clear. Waste of money!

It wasn’t clear this was not English. Very frustrating. Audible trial wasted. Need a clear path to fix this problem.

German version

I do not speak German and there was no indication that this was German so I very much regret my purchase.

I didn't get passed 1 minute of it.

I should have checked what language it is in. I couldn't understand what was being said. This is and was totally my error.

Thought it was in English

Thought this was in English and purchased it by mistake. I’m irritated that it wasn’t marked clearly enough. Wish I could trade it in on something I can actually understand. It was my fault but it was also a waste of money.

Wanted English version

wasn't able to enjoy the book. It was in foreign language. I would gift to someone if I knew someone who could understand the language. If I would be able to exchange to English version would be awesome.
