Herzogs sidste dage er en dokumentarisk beretning “om naturens hævn, svampenes væren og menneskets livsdrift. Historien følger den tyske filminstruktør Werner Herzogs kamp mod den sjældne sygdom somatoxi og hans heroiske forsøg på at kurere sig selv. Tilstanden skal behandles med stoffet soma, som består af en cocktail af psykedeliske svampe, der bedst lader sig finde i den særegne natur i eksklusionszonen omkring Tjernobylværket i Ukraine. Anført af stalkeren Boris drager Herzog sammen med en mindre ekspedition ind i zonen og afslører dag for dag nye aspekter af en autonom økologi og et desperat menneskes forvandling. Det bliver en meditativ rejse ind i zonens liv og Herzogs deroute.

Henry David Thoreau: Walden and Civil Disobedience. Penguin paperback, 2020. XXI, 307 pp. New.
“To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it’s just plain horrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs only laugh at her. Then one day the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them. When she’s very, very angry, the little girl’s Magic Finger takes over. She really can’t control it, and now it’s turned the Greggs into birds! Before they know it, the Greggs are living in a nest, and that’s just the beginning of their problems….”. Dahl had originally begun work on it in 1962, under its original title of The Almost Ducks. In the story, an eight-year-old girl, who hates to see animals killed for fun, develops a special power. The book was part of a project in which a group of writers were asked to create a story for children with a limited vocabulary. Dahl, who was very much against animal cruelty, wrote this anti-hunting story against “all the brave deer hunters and duck hunters in the country”. However, Dahl’s publishers were initially wary of repercussions from the US gun lobby and so waited until their option to publish had expired. It was first published by Harper & Row in New York in 1966 under the present title” (P. Harrington).
