Der Zweifüßler und andere Geschichten: Naturgeschichtliche Märchen

A delightful anthology of nature‑filled fables invites listeners into a world where animals speak with wit and wisdom. Each tale turns a familiar creature or plant into a storyteller, weaving observations of the natural world into gentle moral puzzles. The narratives sparkle with vivid imagery, from humming dragonflies to towering trees, making the forest feel alive and curious.

The opening story introduces a bustling jungle that suddenly falls silent as two unfamiliar, upright beings appear. The resident animals—lion, sparrow, beetle, and even the humble earthworm—debate what makes a creature an “animal,” marveling at the newcomers’ lack of fur, feathers, or tails. Their playful speculation reveals deeper questions about identity and the wonders of evolution, all told with charm and a touch of humor.

Through these enchanting sketches, the collection celebrates the interconnectedness of life, inviting listeners to see the natural world through fresh, imaginative eyes.
