Der kleine Bär und der kleine Tiger träumen vom „größten Glück der Erde“ - vom Reichtum. Und wo liegen Schätze normalerweise? In der Erde natürlich! Also graben und suchen sie überall. Wen sie auf ihrer Suche alles treffen, wie sie schließlich reich werden, aber gleich alles wieder verlieren und zum Schluss doch glücklich sind, das erzählt Janosch in seiner unvergleichlich charmanten Art.
THE EDGAR AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL - NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! Victor Gischler's legendary first novel, originally published as GUN MONKEYS, tells the story of Charlie Swift, loyal Mob enforcer to a Central Florida crime boss, who goes ballistic when a rival gangster murders his crew, his boss goes missing, the FBI swarms the scene, and a cadre of killers come after him with everything they've got. No one's quicker on the trigger than Charlie Swift - but is Charlie fast enough to get himself out alive...? Now a major motion picture starring Pierce Brosnan, Morena Baccarin, and (in his final role) James Caan, FAST CHARLIE is a breathless, top-velocity tale of treachery, taxidermy, and family ties.
Tony Lightspeed is always bringing home sick and injured animals, so when he turns up with an unconscious man dressed from head to tie in rather stinky bandages, his family aren't too surprised. But then they discover that the man is an ancient Egyptian pharaoh named Sennapod, who has been dead for over 4,000 years.
