Auf dem Nachhauseweg drückt das schwere Paket - und sie ist nicht mehr die Kräftigste. Und so nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf. Meisterhafte Erzählung über Natur, den Menschen - und das Erwachsenwerden.

Winesburg, Ohio is a little-known masterpiece that forever changed the course of American storytelling.

He ends up discovering the town’s deepest secrets as one by one, the townsfolk confide their hopes, dreams, and fears to the reporter. In their recollections of first loves and last rites, of sprawling farms and winding country roads, the town rises vividly - and poignantly - to life.
