Publisher's summary
Marx hinterm Tresen. Grandios gedacht, glänzend gemacht: Das Puzzle.
"Anfangs klingt alles echt: der "mit sozialistischem Gruß" schließende Bericht der zentralen Auswertungs- und Dokumentationsgruppe des Sicherheitsdienstes an den Minister über die Entwendung zweier Bronze-Figuren mittels unbekannter Technik: "Gewicht Marx inkl. Stuhl: 4353 kg, Gewicht Engels: 4202 kg, inkl. Manifest 4221,8 kg. Marx sitzend, Engels seitlich hinter ihm stehend, rechte Hand auf linker Schulter des Marx." Eine subversive Aktion einer "feindlich-negativen" Gruppierung, die nun von der Staatssicherheit in der ganzen DDR gesucht wird. In die Fänge der Büttel gerät Werner Wartnich, Student im anhaltinischen Köthen und bereits unter Beobachtung stehend. Kurz darauf kommt es zu einer Anzeige des "Exquisit"-Bekleidungsgeschäftes in Köthen gegen Unbekannt wegen Diebstahls zweier Herrenanzüge aus grünem Nadelkord und Jeans sowie Schuhwerk. Das Labor ermittelt, dass Bartträger der Tat verdächtigt werden müssen.
Doch bekanntlich hat sich das Berliner Denkmal der Klassiker des Sozialismus nie aus dem Staube gemacht, also handelt es sich um eine Fiktion, ausgedacht von Norbert Viertel und als Hörspiel mit dem Titel Das Puzzle inszeniert - grandios ausgedacht, glänzend inszeniert.
Norbert Viertel erzählt diese große Geschichte klassisch am Bild eines Liebespaares: Student Werner Wartnich - entzückend authentisch gesprochen von Sebastian Walch - , dem eigenen spießigen Elternhaus entkommen, provoziert in der Familie der Freundin den nächsten Bruch zwischen den Generationen. Dann geht er aus Köthen nach Berlin an die Humboldt-Universität, wo schon neue, westdeutsche Studenten und Professoren jene Ordnung etablieren, die der Student für ein ebenfalls überholtes Modell von Gesellschaft hält.
Durch das ganze Stück springen höchst unterhaltsam zwei bärtige Figuren, die zu Fleisch und Blut geworden: Marx und Engels unter den Namen Müller und Meier in grünem Nadelkord und DDR-Jeans der Marke "Boxer". Sie beobachten das Spektakel. Engels, der als Lokaljournalist tätig wird, hat sich die Rede eines Herrn Genscher angehört, der den Laden übernehmen will: "Das ganze erinnerte mich an Jennys Speisekammer. Du weißt schon: Das Loch in der hinteren Wand, und schon waren die Ratten da."
Und Karl Marx? Weil Engels ihn von seinem mageren Einkommen nicht mehr aushalten will, landet Marx in einem Berliner Konzert- und Tanzclub im Studentenbezirk Prenzlauer Berg hinter dem Tresen der Garderobe, wo er sich mit den Widrigkeiten eines schlecht bezahlten Service-Jobs rumschlagen muss.
Das Hörbuch ist insgesamt ganz hervorragend besetzt, aber Jaecki Schwarz als Marx zuzuhören, macht die größte Freude. Sowohl seine Art des Erzählens als auch seine Wutausbrüche lassen sich nur mit gründlicher Vorbereitung, langer Erfahrung und perfekter Anverwandlung einer Rolle erreichen.
Es gibt so viele hübsche Einzelszenen im Puzzle, dass sie hier nicht alle erwähnt werden können. Zu danken bleibt Norbert Viertel für ein wortgewandtes, flottes, manchmal zartes und immer vor Scharfsinn blitzendes Hörstück, für einen ernsthaften, liebevollen Spaß mit den Ostdeutschen."

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.
