    Ein Luftschiff überfliegt die Arktis. In der Führergondel wendet der Funker den Kopf und sieht den Kapitän fragend an; es gibt plötzlich keine Funkverbindung. Das Flugzeug mit Passagieren und Besatzung befindet sich in einer 'Zone des Schweigens', in dem es angeblich ein 'Loch im Äther' gibt. Für die Passagiere ändert sich nichts, denn das Luftschiff gleitet ruhig und unverändert weiter seine Bahn. Die Augen der Offiziere im Führerstand werden aber gespenstisch wach, die Nerven spannen sich. Der Kapitän und seine Mannschaft warten atemlos darauf, dass sie die Stimmen der Welt wieder hören können. Unten im Eis sieht einer der Passagiere plötzlich ein gigantisches Frauenantlitz. Eine einsame Eisskulptur, die eine unglaubliche Geschichte besitzt. Axel Rudolph (1893-1944) wurde als einziges Kind einer dänischen Mutter und eines schwedischen Vaters in Köln-Nippes geboren. Seine Kriminal- und Abenteuerromane, dessen Themen er aus seinem abenteuerlichen Leben schöpfte und verfremdet in ferne Länder verlegte, spielen in der Arktis, auf den Ölfeldern Venezuelas, auf hoher See, im Himalaya, in den USA, Asien oder den Großstädten Deutschlands und in Dänemark. Seinen Lebensweg kreuzten zahlreiche illustre und bekannte Personen, darunter der Afrika-Sachbuchautor Hermann Freyberg, unter dessen Namen er nach dem Ausschluss aus der Reichsschrifttumskammer - was praktisch ein Berufsverbot bedeutete - weitere Romane veröffentlichte. Rudolph veröffentlichte unter seinem Namen und den Pseudonymen "Heinrich Weiler" und "Richard Erden". Silvester 1943 wurde der Autor verhaftet, weil er - trotz seiner unbeschwerten Literatur - während des Zweiten Weltkriegs privat kein Blatt vor den Mund nahm. Dies kostete ihn letztendlich das Leben: Am 18. Juli 1944 stand er vor dem "Volksgerichtshof" und wurde zum Tode verurteilt. Am 30. Oktober starb er unter dem Fallbeil der Nationalsozialisten im Zuchthaus Brandenburg-Görden. deutsch. Wolfgang Berger. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/000328/bk_lind_000328_sample.mp3.

    On the morning of December 26, 2004, on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Sonali Deraniyagala lost her parents, her husband, and her two young sons in the tsunami she miraculously survived. In this brave and searingly frank memoir, she describes those first horrifying moments and her long journey since. She has written an engrossing, unsentimental, beautifully poised account: as she struggles through the first months following the tragedy, furiously clenched against a reality that she cannot face and cannot deny; and then, over the ensuing years, as she emerges reluctantly, slowly allowing her memory to take her back through the rich and joyous life she’s mourning, from her family’s home in London, to the birth of her children, to the year she met her English husband at Cambridge, to her childhood in Colombo; all the while learning the difficult balance between the almost unbearable reminders of her loss and the need to keep her family, somehow, still alive within her. ungekürzt.
