Bücher von Lemony Snicket

The three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune and cold porridge for breakfast.

The siblings endure a car accident, a terrible smell, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a brass reading lamp, and the re-appearance of a person they hoped to never see again.

Dear Reader,If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick?witted, but their lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.If you haven't got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain, and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this book will probably fill you with despair.I will continue to record these tragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserable story.With all due respect,Lemony SnicketAges 10+

Leo, ein kleiner Junge, spielt gerne zu Hause. Dort wohnt aber auch das Dunkel, vor dem sich Leo fürchtet. Bis jetzt hat das Dunkel Leo in Ruhe gelassen. Eines Tages besucht es ihn aber in seinem Zimmer. Und lädt ihn ein, mit in den Keller zu kommen. Leo zögert, schließlich ist es das Dunkel, das ihn da einlädt. Bis er merkt: Es ist nett, richtig nett. Es schenkt ihm sogar eine Glühbirne! Und je mehr er das Dunkel kennenlernt, desto mehr schwindet auch Leos Angst vor ihm.

Dear reader, There is nothing to be found in Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' but misery and despair. You still have time to choose another international best-selling series to read. But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution...

As the three Baudelaire orphans warily approach their new home Prufrock Preparatory School : they can′t help but notice the enormous stone arch bearing the school′s motto Memento Mori or "Remember you will die." This is not a cheerful greeting and certainly marks an inauspicious beginning to a very bleak story just as we have come to expect from Lemony Snickett′s Series of Unfortunate Events, the deliciously morbid set of books that began with The Bad Beginning and only got worse.
