"The Thirty-Nine Steps" - danger to life instead of boredom. New audio book in Jens Wawrczeck's series "Filmed by Alfred Hitchcock" London is deadly boring. Wouldn't you say that now? Richard Hannay, who has only recently moved in, finds city life boring. This changes abruptly when his neighbor - whom he hardly knows - serves him a wild conspiracy theory that is about the life and death of a high-ranking politician. And that's not all: Because Franklin P. Scudder knows all this, he has to go into hiding - in Hannay's apartment. Can you believe such a story? Hannay is only convinced when the death actually takes place in London. But not from boredom ... "The Thirty-Nine Steps" is clearly a case for the sworn Hitchcock fan Jens Wawrczeck, who brings John Buchan's exciting spy thriller to the ears alive. "I was amazed at how fresh and amusing "The Thirty-Nine Steps" still seem after more than a hundred years of publication, and how many motifs I was able to discover that Hitchcock took up decades later: the deadly plane, the mysterious house on the cliff, the man who knows too much and must die - all this (and much more) finds its origin in Buchan's novel from 1915," says Jens Wawrczeck. Biography Jens Wawrczeck, born in Denmark in 1963, then moved to Hamburg and works nationwide as a speaker, dialogue book director and enthusiastic theatre player. His youthful voice is unique, he skilfully and naturally stages it both in classical texts and in radio plays.
