    af Tania Brasseur
    358,95 kr.

    A journalist and photographer set out to the "absinthe valley" in search of the history, the botany and the illicit mysteries of the "Green Fairy" Invented in a small valley in Switzerland, absinthe was the drink of choice for 19th century Bohemians. Van Gogh, Picasso and Oscar Wilde swore by its creative powers. But by the early 20th century, the drink was prohibited around the world. This "other prohibition" lasted nearly 100 years. Only in 2005 was it legal to make absinthe again in Switzerland. This is the story of the invention and reinvention of the much-feared drink, and of the craftsmen who kept the traditions alive, despite the risks. Swiss journalist Tania Brasseur travels through the few remote valley of Switzerland and France where absinthe is made today, and meets the people who have brought about absinthe's renaissance. Along the way she discovers the turbulent story of "the green fairy's" heyday in Paris, and delves into how it is made, how its very success led to its prohibition, and why it has now become a darling of barkeepers everywhere.With more than 100-photos from Tamara Berger, and illustrations by Ajsa Vera Dorothy Zdravkovic, this is an intimate look at a stunning region of Europe never seen this way before.

    ★ "This is a well-told and highly informative read. Highly recommended for young adult graphic novel and nonfiction collections." - School Library Journal (STARRED review)Shortlisted for the 2024 Global Literature in Libraries Initiative PrizeThe patriarchy is falling. It's time to smash it. This graphic novel shows you how.Patriarchy means "the rule of the father" and describes a system where men are in control. At least since the time of Aristotle, loud-mouthed men have called women weak and inferior. In entertaining comic book form, Smash the Patriarchy shames the culprits and salutes more than 100 inspiring women--from Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Mary Wollstonecraft to Petra Herrera--who stood up to them.The book is not afraid to examine some of the worst crimes--public shaming, medical examinations, and the widespread murder and jailing of feminists around the world--as it calls on readers to finally smash the patriarchy forever. These men get embarrassed: Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, Woody Allen and many more...These women are celebrated: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Emily Dickinson, Queen Christina of Sweden, Arundhati Roy, Amanda Gorman, and many more..."The work's upbeat tone keeps explanations of some devastating historical events from bogging down this vibrantly presented primer. " - Publishers Weekly"It has a giant vagina on a page and a naked Eve on another, and I am here for them! WOOHOO!!" - Fuse 8 Production, School Library Journal"The narrative style brings home the scale of the injustices done to women while still remaining optimistic and celebrating the fortitude of those who try to change society for the better. The book explains concepts like "the male gaze" with clear, illustrative examples, as of the ubiquity of strip club scenes in films. It challenges the use of the word "genius" as it has been applied to men throughout history. And it does all this while maintaining a sense of humor: at the end, the three "worst sexists" in history are named--with a long list of (dis)honorable mentions." - Foreword Reviews
