Karin Michaëlis’ Bibi books
Karin Michaëlis (1872–1950) was one of the most important Danish authors of the early 20th century and achieved enormous international success with her Bibi books about the life and adventures of a free-spirited Danish girl named Bibi. The series was not particularly popular in the author’s native country, however. This book unravels the intricate reasons behind the strikingly asymmetrical reception of the Bibi series at home and abroad while at the same time deconstructing this homeabroad dichotomy by showing that the Bibi books are an example of transnational children’s literature. They did not have their “home” in Denmark in that Karin Michaëlis wrote them specifically for foreign publishers, first and foremost the German Herbert Stuffer. The book further argues that the Danish texts are rewritings rather than originals and explores some of the salient textual features of the Danish and German Bibi books. Finally, it examines the series’ reception by young Italian readers in Fascist Italy and Karin Michaëlis’ Italian translator.

Barnet
Da Andrea dør, finder moren hendes dagbog over den sidste tid. Et nyt billede af hendes datter som en ung kvinde med en seksualitet og en pubertetspsyke tegner sig. Med "Barnet" (1902) opnåede Karin Michaëlis stor popularitet. Her analyserer forfatteren på forbavsende moderne vis den kvindelige psykologi og gør den unge kvindes indre liv tilgængelig for sin læser. Bogen er skrevet i og med samtidens sprog og retskrivning. Karin Michaëlis (1872-1950) var en af sin tids bedst kendte danske forfattere nationalt såvel som internationalt. Igennem hele sit forfatterskab kredser hun tematisk om kvindeundertrykkelse og pigers og kvinders psykologi og seksualitet. Som ung rejste hun til København, hvor hun kom ind i det litterære miljø omkring Georg Brandes. Under besættelsen måtte Karin Michaëlis bosætte sig i USA på grund af sin mangeårige indsats for tyske forfattere på flugt fra nazismen, heriblandt Bertolt Brecht.

Brecht Unbound
"Except for the annual Brecht Yearbook, Brecht Unbound represents the first broad critical study of Brecht's works to appear in the United States since before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Intended to move beyond the ideological considerations that have informed so much secondary literature about Brecht, the book is a cross-disciplinary reassessment of important aspects of his work. Included are essays on his poetry, drama, theoretical writings, Brecht's influence on American film techniques and music, his relationship to and borrowings from Japanese No theater, and a comparison between aesthetic techniques in his writings and Stravinsky's "The Little Soldier.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
