Politisches und militärisches Totalversagen, aber ein kulturhistorisches Vermächtnis von Weltrang – auf diesen Nenner bringt der britische Historiker Tim Blanning die Lebensbilanz von August dem Starken, Kurfürst von Sachsen und König von Polen.

"Flugtkongen Carl August Lorentzen" er en beretning om den mest spektakulære flugt fra et dansk fængsel nogensinde. Den foregik kort før jul i 1949. Jeg, Niels Ole Frederiksen, er født og opvokset i Horsens Statsfængsel, min far var dengang viceinspektør og blev senere inspektør ved fængslet. Jeg var, da flugten fandt sted, kun tre år.
