Tredje Rikets Fruktan Och Elände
Tredje Rikets fruktan och elände bygger på ögonvittnesskildringar och tidningsnyheter från Nazityskland. Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) och hans medarbetare Margarete Steffin (1908-1941) skrev pjäsen i exil. De 24 scenerna är ett montage från olika samhällsområden och yrken, tillspetsade situationer och stillsamma vardagsmiljöer. I de korta scenerna undersöks hur nazismen infiltrerade vardagslivet, i uttryck och hållningar, i något glidande som långsamt ledde till maskinell utrotning av människor och hänsynslös terror. Brechts scener speglar hur medvetanden och förhållningssätt förändras av ett politiskt partis framgångar, som om man inte märker att detta parti är djupt människofientligt. Pjäsen framfördes första gången i maj 1938 i Paris. De åtta scener som spelades försågs med titeln 99%, en ironisk referens till den folkliga uppslutningen kring Hitler i det tyska valet i mars 1936.

Panther
Brecht Evens, the award-winning author of The Wrong Place and The Making Of, returns with an unsettling graphic novel about a little girl and her imaginary feline companion. Iconoclastic in his cartooning and page layouts, subtle in his plotting, and deft in his capturing of the human experience, Brecht Evens has crafted a tangled, dark masterwork. Christine lives in a big house with her father and her cat, Lucy. When Lucy gets sick and dies, Christine is devastated. But alone in her room, something special happens: a panther pops out of her dresser drawer and begins to tell her stories of distant Pantherland, where he is the crown prince. A shapeshifter who tells Christine anything she wants to hear, Panther begins taking over Christine's life, alienating her from her other toys and friends. As Christine's world spirals out of control, so does the world Panther has created for her. Panther is a chilling voyage into the shadowy corners of the human psyche and a revelatory work about
