Böcker av Anne Simon

This final book in Anne Simons Tales of Marylene trilogy after The Song of Aglaia and Empress Cixtisis, Boris the Potato Child delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles, Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia but crafted with a Swiftian pen thats mightier than any mans sword.

Set in the same world as Anne Simon''s acclaimed 2018 debut graphic novel, The Song of Aglaia, Empress Cixtisis tells the story of another female ruler, inspired by the true story of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled China for a half century. Cixtisis, the empress of Tchitchinie, kidnaps all the men from Agalaia''s kingdom to castrate them and make them her slaves. Anger grows amongst the female residents of Suffragette City - they want their husbands back. Will Aglaia be able to avert war and bring peace once again to the region? Anne Simon showcases a deft touch in this allegorical fantasy graphic novel brimming with subversive twists and comical turns.

A sea nymph is cast out and finds her own way in this debut graphic novel.

Saint Katherine of Alexandria was - after the Virgin Mary - arguably the most important female religious figure within medieval Europe. Yet despite this many gaps in our knowledge remain as regards the significance and function of her cult within Germany. Dr Simon's book addresses this lacunae.
