Jakob Von Gunten - En Dagbok
Jakob von Gunten är en dagbok, författad av en ung man som skrivit in sig på Benjamentainstitutet. Vad man mer precist där lär sig är oklart, men det är ett slags tjänarskola. Den författades av Robert Walser under en tid då själv han bodde i Berlin och gick på betjäntskola. Idag framstår den som ett av Walsers viktigaste verk. Här föreligger Walsers klassiska roman i ny utgåva. Översättningen har grundligen reviderats av översättaren Ulrika Wallenström. Kritikern Mikaela Blomqvist har skrivit ett efterord.
Walker
The astonishing story of a real-life American soldier of fortune who declared himself president of Nicaragua in 1855 and ruled the country for two turbulent years. William Walker (Ed Harris) puts together a band of mercenaries and leads a violent and bloody invasion of the Latin American nation. He then installs himself as the self-proclaimed leader in the belief that he knows what's best for the country's citizens. Director Alex Cox continually jars the audience with anachronistic humor by populating the mid-19th century with copies of Newsweek, cigarette machines, personal computers and helicopters! An all-star supporting cast featuring Peter Boyle and Marlee Matlin underscores the important message of this bold satire.
