Robert Musil
About this listen
Zwei Erzählungen, zwei Facetten weiblicher Leidenschaft; ein großartiger Schriftsteller: Robert Musil (1880-1942). Seine Werke zählen heute zu den schwierigsten der Weltliteratur. Selbst nach mehrmaliger Lektüre fällt es schwer zu sagen, was genau in den zwei Erzählungen passiert. An beiden Novellen arbeitete Musil zweieinhalb Jahre lang. Er veröffentlichte sie 1911 in einem Band unter dem Titel: Vereinigungen. Beim Schreiben und dem ständigen Überarbeiten dieser Erzählungen zog er sich selbst psychosomatische Störungen zu; sein Buch Vereinigungen fiel dennoch bei der Kritik durch und verkaufte sich schlecht, "obwohl er mit ihm einen in der Literatur allein dastehenden Diskurs über das unmögliche Verhältnis zwischen den Geschlechtern schuf und große Einsichten in weibliches Denken und Fühlen zu dichterischer Sprache brachte." (Franz Kaltenbeck)
Die Versuchung der stillen Veronika:
Die Erzählung berichtet von einem Paar: Veronika und Johannes. Ihre Beziehung funktioniert nicht mehr, sie empfinden sich wie fremde Menschen. Die Kommunikation stagniert und beide gehen ihre eigenen Wege. Veronika fragt sich, was Johannes jetzt allein treibt, ob er vielleicht sogar schon tot ist.
Veronika vermisst die Bindung an das Leben. Ihr Leben steht im Ungewissen. Sie ist sich dessen bewusst, ohne es konkret fassen zu können. Sie weiß, dass etwas ihr Leben zudeckt, doch sie weiß nicht was es genau ist. Durch diesen Dauerzustand verharrt alles im Grauen, bleibt im Eintönigen stecken. Ein Verlangen nach Entgrenzung führt paradoxaler Weise zu der Leere des Raumes, in dem die Tage "einer wie der andere" dahingehen. Ekel deckt zu, ist eine Form der Verdrängung. Während all dieser Jahre, in denen sie beziehungslos durch das Leben geht, nach einem Sinn suchend, quält sie "etwas Wunderbares, dass dann sein müsste, wie die nahe unter dem Bewusstsein treibende Erinnerung an eine wichtige vergessene Sache. (Tamar Stooker)
Die Vollendung der Liebe:
Die Erzählung hat eine dürftige äußere Handlung. Fast alles, was uns der Autor mitzuteilen hat, geschieht im Erleben, Fühlen und Denken der Protagonistin, Claudine, in die sich der Hörer hinein zu versetzen vermag. Claudine muss in eine weit entfernte und eingeschneite Provinzstadt mit der Eisenbahn reisen, um dort ihre in einem Pensionat untergebrachte Tochter zu besuchen. Ihr Mann, mit dem sie eine große, gegenseitige Liebe verbindet, kann sie auf dieser Reise nicht begleiten. In dem abgelegenen Ort lässt sich Claudine dennoch von einem ihr gleichgültigen Mann verführen.
Es gibt literarische Perlen, die nur darauf warten, wiederentdeckt und gehoben zu werden. Manche dieser Texte entfalten sogar erst ihren eigenen Glanz durch eine Hörbuchinterpretation. Moritz Brendel gelingt dies hier auf faszinierende Art, die komplizierte Erzählweise Musils verständlich zu machen und die Zuhörer in seinen Bann zu ziehen.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
