Effi Briest
Die siebzehnjährige Effi von Briest heiratet den früheren Verehrer ihrer Mutter, Baron von Innstetten, und folgt ihm in ein Provinzstädtchen in Hinterpommern. Von ihrem Mann vernachlässigt und angeödet von der Provinzialität ihrer Umgebung, geht sie eine Liaison mit dem Frauenhelden Crampas ein. Durch die Entdeckung von Crampas' Liebesbriefen wird der Fehltritt Jahre später entlarvt. Baron von Innstetten, durchaus wissend um die Hohlheit der ihm auferlegten Moral, fordert den Liebhaber seiner Frau zum Duell und tötet ihn; es folgt die Scheidung und Effi Briests gesellschaftliche Ächtung. Für Thomas Mann ist der Roman aus dem Jahr 1895 Fontanes ?modernstes Werk, das am deutlichsten über die bürgerlich realistische Epoche hinaus in die Zukunft weist?.

Broder Theodor
I 'Broder Theodor' fortæller Bo Pedersen og Maria From den fascinerende historie om den danske mand Theodors vej til at blive katolsk munk i Assisi. Ingen kunne forudse at den vilde, karismatiske og underholdende Theodor en dag vil blive katolsk munk i Assisi. Men efter et festligt liv som blandt andet bartender, bager, kok og højskolelærer valgte Theodor at lægge sit liv drastisk om og fortsætte livet som franciskanerbroder i en alder af 40 år. I 'Broder Theodor' deler Theodor historien om sit tidligere liv og om, hvorfor han ønskede at blive munk og sige farvel til det normale livs glæder. I løbet af bogen fortæller han også indlevende og begejstret til Bo Pedersen og Maria From om hans nye liv og nære forhold til klosteret i Assisi og dets spændende historie og rigdom af historiske kunstskatte. Det er en livsbekræftende og fascinerende fortælling om at finde indtil det, der giver livet mening og lykke.
