Tegneserieskaberen og bladtegneren Claus Deleurans enkle og alligevel dybt originale streg har opnået klassikerstatus med værker som Rejsen til Saturn, Thorfinn, Pirelli & Firestone og Illustreret Danmarkshistorie for Folket. Takket være en unik sans for detaljer og hverdagsliv og en på én gang sofistikeret, skæv og jordbunden humor udgør Deleurans tegneserier – og hundredvis af bladtegninger og øvrige illustrationer – et kærligt-satirisk portræt af et folk og et land. Forfatter og Deleuran-fan Christian Monggaard er gået i arkiverne og fortæller med hjælp fra tegnerens familie, venner og kolleger historien om en mand, der ville være opdagelsesrejsende, og som endte med at gå på opdagelse i verden gennem sine tegninger.Papir: 120 gr.

En samling morsomme, rørende, smukke og ind i mellem meget personlige essays fra John Green, som tager steder, begreber og produkter – og en vis pandemi - fra menneskets tidsalder under kærlig behandling. Vi kommer rundt om så forskellige ting som Pingvinerne fra Madagaskar, internettet, solnedgange, teddybjørne og meningitis, og Green kalder selv bogen en form for mini-memoirer. Teksterne handler dog lige så meget om at være forelsket i den verden, vi lever i og om at kunne se det smukke i de små ting på trods af pandemier og postmoderne stress.

Jens Staubrand, der tillige har udvalgt billederne og skrevet de uddybende informationer som billedtekster indeholder.Det er forlagets håb at denne nudanske, gennemredigerede udgave af dette lille litterær-filosofiske værk vil tiltale den nutidige læser, ligesom det er vores håb, at bogens billeder og deres ofte fyldige tekster giver læseren en dybere og mere rig læseoplevelse, end hvis man kun havde den nøgne tekst.
