Story
Josef und Maria Moosbrugger leben mit ihren Kindern ganz am Rand eines Bergdorfes, fernab der restlichen Bewohner. Sie sind die Abseitigen, die Armen, die Bagage. Es ist die Zeit des ersten Weltkriegs und Josef wird zur Armee eingezogen. Es ist die Zeit, in der Maria und die Kinder allein zurückbleiben und abhängig werden vom Schutz des Bürgermeisters. Es ist die Zeit, in der Georg aus Hannover in die Gegend kommt, der nicht nur hochdeutsch spricht und wunderschön ist, sondern eines Tages auch an die Tür von Maria klopft.

Every day is a struggle against starvation, the harsh alpine climate and the hostile nearby villagers who see Maria as little more than a beautiful temptress out for the men left behind.

Story
Josef was an illegitimate child, a charity case from Salzburg, schooled by a benefactor. He was drafted to fight in the Second World War while still at school and sent to Russia, returning with only one leg. He married his nurse, and brought his family to the high, idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as manager of a home for injured soldiers, a strangely suspended, deeply isolated place with a remarkable library. He was a man of many mysteries. To his daughter, Monika, none was greater than his obsession with these cloistered, crumbling books.

Story
Nach "Die Bagage" und "Vati": der neue Roman über eine Familie aus Vorarlberg. Seit dem Tod der Mutter wachsen Monika und ihre Schwestern getrennt vom kleinen Bruder Richard auf. Sie sehen sich selten, verlieren die Verbindung. Es ist die Zeit des Deutschen Herbstes. Richard ist da bereits ein junger Mann. Er ist ein Sonderling, das Leben scheint ihm wenig wichtig. Verantwortung übernimmt er nur, wenn sie ihm angetragen wird. So auch, als ihm auf merkwürdige Weise eine verflossene Liebe ein Kind überlässt, von dem er nur den Spitznamen kennt: Putzi.

Story
Monika Helfer erzählt fort, was sie mit der "Bagage" begonnen hat: ihre eigene Familiengeschichte. Ein Mann mit Beinprothese, ein Abwesender, ein Witwer, ein Pensionär, ein Literaturliebhaber. Monika Helfer umkreist das Leben ihres Vaters und erzählt von ihrer eigenen Kindheit und Jugend. Von dem vielen Platz und der Bibliothek im Kriegsopfer-Erholungsheim in den Bergen, von der Armut und den beengten Lebensverhältnissen in der "Südtiroler-Siedlung" mit den vielen Kindern in einer Küche. Von dem, was sie weiß über ihren Vater, was sie über ihn in Erfahrung bringen kann.

Story
Von Monika Helfer selbst gelesen: nach der Trilogie über ihre Familie, jetzt die Geschichte einer Schulfreundin. Gloria und Moni sind beste Jugendfreundinnen – die eine reich, die andere arm. Ein halbes Jahrhundert später begegnen sich die beiden Frauen wieder und Gloria beichtet ihr Lebensgeheimnis: Nie hat sie mit jemandem geschlafen. Gloria kam früher immer gut an, war exzentrisch und schön, wollte Schauspielerin werden, war viel unter Menschen. Gloria und Moni wachsen auf im Mief der sechziger Jahre, sind konfrontiert mit Ehe, Enge und Gewalt.

Story
Inspired by the author's family history, Library for the War-Wounded transports listeners to the aftermath of World War II, uncovering the life of Helfer's father, Josef. Born with the stigma of illegitimacy, he found solace in books, and his education was eventually funded by the Catholic Church. Drafted into the Wehrmacht, he witnessed the horrors of the Eastern Front and returned from the war an amputee. He married his nurse and brought his family to the high, idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as manager of a convalescent home for war-wounded.
