Gottfried Benn im Originalton Gottfried Benns lyrisches Werk gehört zum Sprachgewaltigsten, was die deutsche Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts hervorgebracht hat. Diese Auswahl setzt nicht einseitig auf Bekanntes, sondern lädt zu neuen Entdeckungen ein.

Rönne, ein junger Arzt, fährt mit dem Zug durch Deutschland, um in einer entfernt gelegenen medizinischen Anstalt den Chefarzt zu vertreten. Doch statt sich den Patienten zu widmen, verliert Rönne nach und nach den Bezug zur Realität und versinkt in sich selbst. Er muss die Klinik wieder verlassen und begibt sich, dem Wahnsinn verfallen, auf Reisen. Die in den vier Rönne-Novellen beschriebene Kälte und Verlorenheit ist von Benns persönlichen Erfahrungen als Arzt und Sanitätsoffizier geprägt: "Ich lebte am Rande, wo das Dasein fällt und das Ich beginnt." Rolf Becker gibt den vier kurzen Prosatexten eine Stimme.

Her grieving daughter-in-law Carol is visited by both the welcome intimate ghost of her murdered lover, and by Mac, an ageing criminal enforcer, a man who may just offer her a real and possible future.

Das autobiographische Hörbuch erzählt die traumatischen Ereignisse einer Kindheit und Jugend im katholischen Polen in der Zeit zwischen 1970 und 1990. Es erzählt in kurzen, prägnanten Episoden authentische, bewegende, zum Teil schockierende und verstörende Erlebnisse. Trotzdem möchte das Hörbuch denen Mut machen, die ähnliches in Kindheit und Jugend erlebt haben oder Zeugen solcher Erlebnisse wurden. Es ist nicht als Abrechnung gedacht. Das Umfeld konnte oder wusste es nicht besser. Viele davon sind selbst Opfer und in ihrem Erlebten gefangen.
