Das Meer … unendliche Weiten …
in denen es noch so viel zu entdecken gibt!

Menschenähnliche Wesen, die am und im Wasser leben, faszinieren uns schon seit Jahrhunderten. Zahlreiche Legenden und Mythen ranken sich um Meerjungfrauen. Doch wer weiß schon, wie sie zu dem wurden, was sie sind? Und wer könnte erklären, was genau sie sind.

Sind es menschenfressende Sirenen oder eine vom Aussterben bedrohe Spezies? Fische, geerbt oder gejagt, oder doch eher Menschen? Sind wir gar miteinander verwandt? Es wäre auch vorstellbar, dass Meermenschen auf anderen Planeten leben, bis sich ein Außermeerischer zu ihnen verirrt. Auch Menschen wie du und ich könnten Meerjungfrauen sein.

Entdecke in 30 Kurzgeschichten, wie vielseitig diese Fabelwesen sind.


Eine fantasievolle Anthologie mit Geschichten von:
Susanne Bonn, Maxi Schilonka, Damaris McColgan, Martina Dinkel, Elena L. Knödler, Alex Daran, Meara Finnegan, Laszlo Hartmann, Janika Rehak, Lisa Veron, Christina Gmeiner, Wolfgang Malischewski, Sabine Maurer, Andrea Maluga, Anette Wicke, Tara Flink, Medra Yawa, Mechthild Matthias, Jasmin Fürbach, Jana Luisa Aufderheide, Lea Baumgart, Michael Voß, Kornelia Schmid, David Pawn, Mathilde Pernot, Corinna Rössling, Niklas Nissen, Katharina Gerlach, Anastasia Prieschev, Corina B.

    Katharina Gerlach was born in Germany in 1968. She and her three younger brothers grew up in the middle of a forest in the heart of the Luneburgian Heather. After romping through the forest with imagination as her guide, the tomboy learned to read and disappeared into magical adventures, past times or eerie fairytale woods.

    She didn't stop at reading. During her training as a landscape gardener, she wrote her first novel, a manuscript full of a beginner's mistakes. Fortunately, she found books on Creative Writing and soon her stories improved. For a while, reality interfered with her writing but after finishing a degree in forestry and a PhD in Science she returned to her vocation. She likes to write Fantasy, Science Fiction and Historical Novels for all age groups.

    At present, she is writing at her next project in a small house near Hildesheim, Germany, where she lives with her husband, three children and a dog.

    David Pawn, born in Magdeburg in 1961, now lives in Dresden, is happily married and is proud of his two grown-up children. Already as a child, he lived out his fantasy in writing and remained true to this hobby during his studies. The graduate engineer now works full-time as a software developer in Leipzig and is thus forced to commute every day. He passes the time on the train by writing his stories. Originally more at home in the horror genre, he has since switched to fantasy. He considers the Potions series, which takes motifs from J.K. Rowling's well-known novels and adapts them into his own world in Germany, to be his greatest success to date. He tends to create heroes in his books who deserve this designation only to a limited extent, but are rather average types who have to outgrow themselves in the course of the story. He also likes to look at things with a twinkle in his eye. He is an active member of the writers' association "Qindie" - www.Qindie.de.

    I grew up in a village not far from the Swiss Alps, surrounded by forest, streams, meadows and mountains. Nowadays I live in Wales with my husband and my wonderful daughter. There are always ideas for characters and stories floating around in my head, so it was only a matter of time before I managed to capture some of them and spellbind them onto paper.

    After a few curio fiction short stories, I am now in the process of publishing my first fantasy series, packed with magical powers, romance and intrigue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gelungene Geschichtensammlung!
Reviewed in Germany on August 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
Diese Anthologie umfasst Kurzgeschichten, die sich um Meerjungfrauen drehen. Ob es um die Geburt dieser Spezies geht, um das Leben unter Wasser, um Liebe für das Wasser, für die Welt oberhalb, für einen Menschen, für die Umwelt oder andere Fabelwesen... es sind faszinierende Facetten, die hier leuchten dürfen. Auch die Beziehung zwischen Meerjungfrauen und Menschen steht oft im Vordergrund: Liebe, Hass, Habgier, Gewinnsucht, vieles wird angesprochen. Auch gleichgeschlecghtliche Liebe, die Mischung von Rassen und Klassen wird thematisiert.

Mir haben die Geschichten im Allgemeinen wirklich, wirklich gut gefallen, einige haben mich zum Nachdenken angeregt und begleiten mich wohl noch eine Weile. Nur eine, die sich um BH's dreht, fand ich ziemlich Banane.

Im Großen und Ganzen fand ich diese Geschichtensammlung aber wirklich sehr gelungen. Für Kinder eignet sie sich nur bedingt, dafür ist sie zu komplex, ältere Leser dürften aber voll auf ihre Kosten kommen.
