In the "Waiting Room" trilogy, Lion Feuchtwanger emerges as a keen chronicler of his time. The three novels, published between 1930 and 1940, depict the ominous spirit of the rising National Socialism and the downfall of the free world. Feuchtwanger's protagonists struggle in Munich, Berlin, and from their London exile against a dehumanizing regime of which they have become arbitrary victims. These are stories of careerism and judicial scandals, but also of love and betrayal. To this day, they have lost none of their tension and relevance. Readings by Percy Adlon, Michael Degen, and Axel Milberg. 3 mp3 CDs, 21 hours and 40 minutes.
