Spending an evening in New York without having to get on an airplane and being guided - by Robert De Niro?
Christian Brückner, the famous dubbing voice of Robert de Niro, takes the listener into a kaleidoscopic panorama, into the metropolis of this world that is the subject of so many stories, that has provided the material for countless films, that has become the gateway to a new world and that attracts millions of people every year.
Like pieces of a mosaic, many literary fragments show the almost infinite sides of this city that never sleeps and combine until they finally form an overall picture of New York.
It all begins with four stories on the subject of arrival. First Franz Kafka. Followed by Fritz Kortner, Siegfried Lenz, Fritz J. Raddatz and Helmut Marrat. Each with a different perspective. Literary. Autobiographical. Journalistic. The exile suffers from the loss of his homeland. The journalist suffers from the border officials' harsh ruthlessness. It is about observations of the new residents, about beauty, harsh realities, pickpockets, stuck elevators, cab rides through the canyons of skyscrapers, fast food, black and white, rich and poor.
Accompanied by the jazzy clarinet and saxophone sounds of Florent Mannant, fittingly, like a street musician standing in the middle of Manhattan, you will experience the city of superlatives up close for an evening.
