When Cincinnatus is led out to be executed, he simply wills his executioners out of existence: they...

Pnin, 1 Audio-CD, 1 MP3
ISBN: 9783742421470 / Niemiecki / CD-Audio / 2021 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Der zerstreute Professor Pnin unterrichtet an einem Provinz-College russische Literatur - nicht der beliebteste Kurs in den USA der 50er-Jahre. Überängstlich und zwanghaft versucht sich der Immigrant in der neuen Heimat zurechtzufinden. Doch versteht er weder die Feinheiten der englischen Sprache noch die amerikanischen gesellschaftlichen Codes und taumelt daher von einem Missgeschick zum nächsten. Mit Witz und Charme gelingt es ihm jedoch stets, seine Würde zu bewahren. Einfühlsam verleiht der Schauspieler Ulrich Matthes dem Erzähler seine Stimme.
