Es un punto controvertido si el robo en domicilios ha de considerarse un deporte, un oficio o un arte. Para oficio la técnica es muy poco rigurosa, y sus pretensiones de que se lo considere un arte están viciadas por el elemento mercenario que determina sus triunfos.

Ein kleiner Junge entdeckt mit seinem Vater einen seltsamen Laden – voller Wunder, Magie und unheimlicher Geheimnisse. Doch hinter den verlockenden Spielzeugen und Verwandlungstricks verbirgt sich etwas, das weit über kindliche Fantasie hinausgeht. Mit Der Zauberladen erzählt H. G. Wells eine fantastische Kurzgeschichte, die spielerisch zwischen Magie, Täuschung und subtiler Düsternis wandelt.

Ein Vater, ein neugieriger Junge – und ein seltsamer kleiner Laden voller Magie mitten in London. In Der Zauberladen von H. G.

Diese fein gesponnene Kurzgeschichte überrascht mit Fantasie, leiser Ironie und einem Hauch Melancholie. Alexander Wohnhaas verleiht dem Text die passende Stimmung – mal verspielt, mal unheimlich – und macht dieses Hörbuch zu einem kleinen literarischen Zauberstück.
