Hoch zu Roß

"Das Glück der Erde liegt auf demRücken der Pferde," sagt der Pferdefreund. Doch ob alle Reiterauch wieder heil herunterkommen, bleibt ungewiß. Nicht immer throntman "hoch zu Roß", oft genug landet der Reitkünstler auf demBoden der Tatsachen ... Aber die Welt der Pferde bietet nochvieles mehr: Spannung und Intrigen, Rennfieber und feineGesellschaft. Johannes Steck versteht es brillant, die Erzählungenvon Twain, Kipling, Dickens und Maupassant mit ironisch-heiteremUnterton vorzutragen. Ein Ohrenschmaus für alle Pferdeliebhaber!

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.

Mark Twain
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, left school at age 12. His career encompassed such varied occupations as printer, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist, travel writer, and publisher, which furnished him with a wide knowledge of humanity and the perfect grasp of local customs and speech manifested in his writing. It wasn't until The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), that he was recognized by the literary establishment as one of the greatest writers America would ever produce. Toward the end of his life, plagued by personal tragedy and financial failure, Twain grew more and more cynical and pessimistic. Though his fame continued to widen--Yale and Oxford awarded him honorary degrees--he spent his last years in gloom and desperation, but he lives on in American letters as "the Lincoln of our literature."
