Story
"Kinder der Eifel" ist der erste einer Reihe von Novellenbänden Clara Viebigs und umfasst sieben Erzählungen. In diesen frühen Werken ist deutlich ihre Nähe zu Zola und zum Naturalismus spürbar. Realistisch und packend wird das Leben der einfachen Leute beschrieben, die für die Naturalisten im Mittelpunkt des literarischen Interesses stehen. Für Clara Viebig sind das die Menschen der Eifel, die Bäuerinnen und Bauern, die Mägde und Knechte, der Förster und der Pastor, die Kinder und die Alten.

Story
In sieben Novellen schildert Clara Viebig das Leben der Menschen aus dem Eifelraum um Bad Bertrich und von der Mosel, das Leben der einfachen Bauern und Winzer auf dem Dorf. Im Mittelpunkt ihrer Erzählungen stehen oft die Randfiguren der dörflichen Gemeinschaft: die alte Witwe, der zum Knecht bestimmte Zweitgeborene auf dem großen Bauernhof, der armselige, aber körperlich starke Geistesschwache, die arme Botenfrau oder der schrullige alte Tagelöhner, der schließlich stirbt, als man ihn aus seiner Not, aber auch aus seiner geliebten Heimat fort ins Altersheim nach Trier bringt.

Story
In der Stadt (leicht als Monschau zu erkennen) lebt der reiche Fabrikbesitzer samt Familie und trifft sich mit seinen bürgerlichen Freunden im Gasthof "Zum weißen Schwan", der von der attraktiven und offenherzigen Witwe Helene geleitet wird. Auch die in ihrem Standesdünkel befangenen Offiziere vom nahen Truppenübungsplatz zieht es dorthin. In Heckenbroich, dem nahe gelegenen Eifeldorf auf der Höhe, sind die Bauern mit ihrer Arbeit noch voll eingebunden in den Ablauf der Jahreszeiten, und strenge religiöse Vorstellungen bestimmen wie seit altersher das Leben in den Familien.

Story
"Naturgewalten" ist eine weitere der berühmten Novellensammlungen Clara Viebigs. 1905 wurden diese neun Geschichten aus der Eifel zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht und in den folgenden Jahren immer wieder neu aufgelegt. Dann allerdings vergriffen, waren sie seit Jahrzehnten nur noch antiquarisch zu bekommen und erscheinen nun wieder in der Originalfassung. Vom moselnahen, lieblichen Bad Bertrich über den Blankenheimer Raum bis zu den rauen, öden Hochflächen des Venn reichen die Schauplätze der Erzählungen Clara Viebigs in diesem Hörbuch.

Story
Müller-Hannes ist ein Sonntagskind mit den besten Voraussetzungen für ein erfolgreiches und glückliches Leben als wohlhabender Mühlenbesitzer im Tal der Kleinen-Kyll bei Manderscheid. Damit wirklich alles zum Besten gedeiht, vermittelt ihm sein Vater auch noch eine "gute Partie" und verheiratet ihn mit Tina, der schönen, reichen Winzertochter von der Mosel. Nach der Hochzeit übernimmt Hannes die Mühle - und von da an geht es bergab. Zunächst unmerklich, aber schließlich mit unumkehrbarer Konsequenz, wirtschaftet er den Betrieb herunter und bringt sich und seine Familie um die in Generationen aufgebaute Korn- und Sägemühle.

Story
Clara Viebig zeigt sich in diesem Roman als Meisterin der Erzählkunst. Farbig und voller Leben schildert sie jene Zeit des Umbruchs, in der alter Standesdünkel und moderne Aufklärung, schwerfällige Bürokratie und idealistische Zukunftsträume aufeinander prallen. Vom Mönchsleben im Prümer Kloster über die Straßenszenen beim Einzug des neuen Kurfürsten in Trier bis zu den Gelagen des geflüchteten französischen Adels auf Kosten ihres kurfürstlichen Verwandten, entfaltet Clara Viebig einen fesselnden Bilderbogen über die Zeit des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts in unserer Region.

Story
Der Roman erzählt vom Schicksal der Moselwinzer in den 20er Jahren, die unter den Kriegsfolgen und einer rigiden Steuerpolitik zu leiden haben. Missernten, billige Importweine, Inflation und hohe Steuern treiben die Weinbauern in den finanziellen Ruin. Ihre Ausweglosigkeit und materielle Not schlagen schließlich um in sozialen Protest. Zeitgeschichtlicher Hintergrund der Romanhandlung sind die sozialen Konflikte der Weimarer Republik, die Besetzung des Rheinlandes, die Separatistenbewegung und das Scheitern der "Rheinischen Republik".

Story
Die Geschichte, die im Wesentlichen in Berlin spielt, handelt von einem gut situierten Ehepaar, das keine Kinder haben kann und deshalb einen Jungen adoptiert. Es ist allerdings mehr ein "Kaufen" des fremden Kindes, und die leibliche Mutter, eine Witwe, gibt es nur her, um mit dem Geld die Not ihrer anderen Kinder zu lindern. In einer ärmlichen Kate im Venn wird dieser Verkauf ausgehandelt, und es ist, als wollte nicht nur die Mutter ihr Kind lieber behalten. Auch das Hohe Venn mit seinen Nebelfetzen und seinen stürmischen Winden scheint sich dagegen zu sträuben.

Ein kleines Eifeldorf, abseits der großen Straßen und der Eisenbahn, ist der Schauplatz dieses Romans. In den 70er Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts verdingen sich praktisch alle arbeitsfähigen Männer des Ortes bei den aufblühenden Stahlwerken im Ruhrgebiet. Sie werden Gastarbeiter und sehen ihre Heimat und ihre Familien nur noch zweimal im Jahr. Dann wird gefeiert und getanzt, dann wird das versäumte Leben nachgeholt, bis sie nach 10 Tagen wieder abreisen müssen. Zurück bleibt ein Dorf ohne Männer, das Weiberdorf.

Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.

The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all. But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.
