2033 Piacenza Podcast Academy 2033 è il podcast della redazione della Piacenza Podcast Academy, scritto, registrato e montato dai ragazzi e dalla ragazze dell'edizione 2026, con la supervisione di Rossella Pivanti. 2033 è l'anno in cui Piacenza si candida a Capitale Europea della Cultura: il podcast chiede alla generazione che quell'anno lo abiterà da adulta di immaginarlo adesso, ad alta voce, intervistando gli ospiti della quarta edizione del Festival del Pensare Contemporaneo e raccogliendo le voci della città. Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober by E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776 - 1822) LibriVox Der hässliche und dumme Wechselbalg Klein Zaches wird aus Mitleid von der Fee Rosabelverde mit einem Zauber belegt, so dass alle ihn für außergewöhnlich schön und begabt halten und die guten Leistungen anderer stets ihm zugeschrieben werden, die anderen jedoch für seine Frechheiten bestraft werden. Als er in die Universitätsstadt Kerepes kommt, nennt er sich stolz "Zinnober". Obwohl der dort regierende Fürst Paphnutius erst kürzlich per Dekret die Aufklärung eingeführt hat, erliegen alle dem Zauber und der Herr Zinnober macht eine schnelle Karriere bis hin zum Minister am fürstlichen Hofe. Einer der wenigen, die die Blendung durchschauen, ist der romantische Schwärmer und Dichter Balthasar, der sich gerade Hoffnungen macht, das Herz der schönen Candida zu gewinnen, nun aber zusehen muss, wie auch diese völlig dem falschen Zauber des Zinnober verfällt und diesen sogar küsst. Verzweifelt sucht Balthasar Hilfe bei dem versteckt lebenden Magier Prosper Alpanus. Doch es ist eine schwierige Candida by George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) LibriVox Candida, a comedy by playwright George Bernard Shaw, was first published in 1898, as part of his Plays Pleasant. The central characters are clergyman James Morell, his wife Candida and a youthful poet, Eugene Marchbanks, who tries to win Candida's affections. The play questions Victorian notions of love and marriage, asking what a woman really desires from her husband. The cleric is a Fabian Socialist, allowing Shaw—himself a Fabian—to weave political issues, current at the time, into the story.
