In 'Er zijn geen slangen in Ierland' zijn zeven bijzonder intrigerende verhalen van Frederick Forsyth bijeengebracht. De verhalen zijn erg verschillend, maar hebben één ding gemeen: een zeer verrassende plot. De thrillerelementen lijken sterk op die van rasverteller Roald Dahl. De soms bizarre gebeurtenissen en onverwachte wendingen zorgen ervoor dat de ontknoping tot het allerlaatste moment bewaard blijft.

'Der seltsame Fall von Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde' - dieser etwas behäbig klingende Titel läßt kaum vermuten, daß sich dahinter eine der aufregendesten Erzählungen der Weltliteratur verbirgt. Auch der Ruhm des Autors Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), dessen Schatzinsel zu den berühmtesten Abenteuerromanen der Weltliteratur gehört, steht dieser Erwartung eher im Wege. Aber wirklich - Der seltsame Fall gehört zu den Schlüsseltexten unseres Zeitalters. Die Erzählung ist spannend wie ein Kriminalroman - und sie ist in gewisser Weise einer! Darum darf hier über ihren Inhalt auch nichts mitgeteilt werden. Wesentlich zu erwähnen bleibt die Neuübersetzung, die sich ganz besonders dicht in Wortlaut und Atmosphäre am Original orientiert. Das Original ist im Paralleldruck ebenfalls parat!
