Book Description:
Vier Erzählungen, die teils überraschende, mehr oder weniger übernatürliche Handlungen und Pointen schildern:
In "Die Teufelsmauer" tritt der Leibhaftige auf, ebenso die Jungfrau Maria.
"Wasser!" schildert eine Erfahrung auf einer Hochzeitsreise in Tirol.
In der "Schattenseite" beleuchtet Hoffmann das Für und Wider eines Aspekts der Ehe, die wilde Frau und der wilde Mann helfen ihm dabei.
"Der Toten Sehnsucht" ist eine wunderschöne Erzählung am Schluss des Buches, wortgewaltig und stark vom Inhalt her. - Summary by schrm
