# Volpone oder Der Fuchs

Heard 1952–1957. 2 episodes.

TITLE: Volpone oder Der Fuchs AUTHOR: Ben Jonson DESCRIPTION: Venedig, beginnendes 17. Jahrhundert. Volpone ist eine der komödiantischsten Figuren aus der Reihe der Wucherer, wie man sie aus der Weltliteratur kennt. Bar aller Hemmungen, strebt Volpone nach Hab und Gut, das er den anderen erpresserisch und listenreich abzujagen versucht. Seine Verstellungskunst ist von genialem Ausmaß. Schließlich kommt es doch zur Katastrophe, ein Prozeß bricht Volpone oder dem »Fuchs« das Genick.

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
