Summary

Auf einer Geschäftsreise nach Prag glaubt der windige Schokoladenfabrikant Hermann Karlowitsch im Landstreicher Felix seinen Doppelgänger zu erkennen, und ein genialer Plan reift in ihm heran: Er wird den jungen Mann töten und so den eigenen Tod vortäuschen, um das Geld aus der Lebensversicherung einzustreichen. In seiner grenzenlosen Selbstüberschätzung prahlt der Erzähler, Möchtegern-Autor und Meisterverbrecher jedoch mit seiner Genialität und gerät dadurch bald in arge Bedrängnis.

Mit beklemmender Intensität von Gert Westphal gelesen tritt schon in Nabokovs frühem Werk dessen schriftstellerische Meisterschaft klar zu Tage.

Love Nabokov, love Gert Westphal

There is no better reader than Gert Westphal and paired with the extraordinary talent of Vladimir Nabokov this audiobook is most certainly a treat.
