Abraham
Tera, en klanleder i Mesopotamien, når frem til, at hans søn er en reinkarnation af profeten og patriarken Abraham, og i 1916, mens Første Verdenskrig hærger, sætter klanen sig for at drage gennem Mellemøsten i forsøget på at gentage den gammeltestamentlige profets indstiftelse af den Pagt, som blev grundlaget for jødedommen, kristendommen og islam. Hensigten er at genskabe menneskenes forening i den bibelske gud og lægge grunden for en ny tid og en ny menneskehed. Med Første Mosebogs beretning om Abraham og hans families gerninger som bagtæppe tager Tera og hans klan af sted på en bibelsk færd gennem Mellemøsten. Det er en færd, der fører dem gennem to verdenskrige samt en kold krig, og som ender med den genfødte profets død mod slutningen af det 20. århundrede. Undervejs bliver klanen vidner til Osmannerrigets fald efter Første Verdenskrig og englændernes og franskmændenes kolonisering og opsplitning af Mellemøsten og de mange følger, disse begivenheder fik for regionen.

Becoming Escher
In a nineteenth century Chinese lacquer box, this book’s author Joris Escher found two drawings of his great-uncle, the world-famous graphic artist M.C. Escher. The sheets had not been looked at in more than 90 years. He believes that these early studies may be the missing link in the development of Escher as an artist and starts a voyage of discovery to the origins of the fascinations of his great-uncle. Who was his Uncle Mauk? How did he become the world-famous artist M.C. Escher? How did he, precisely he, begin walking down a path on which no one had preceded him and no one would ever follow? Joris Escher relates the artist’s life-metamorphosis through the eyes of his uncle in four successive parts: his youth (Becoming Mauk), his art education as a young adult (Becoming a Graphic Artist), his happiest years in Italy (Becoming an Atist) and finally, already in his late thirties, the transformation that leads to his spatial experiments (Becoming Escher). The author relates this
