Christine

I 1521 blev Christian II's datter, Christine, født og kort efter overladt til slægtninge ved det nederlandske hof. "Christine" er historien om en royal kvinde i en periode i historien, hvor kvinder havde magt, som det aldrig var set før. Placeret midt i det europæiske spil om magterne og tronerne i blandt andet Danmark og Sverige befinder Christine sig imellem kærlighed og ægteskab og med sin egen del i det internationale magtspil. Helle Stangerup (1939-2015) var en dansk forfatter, der særligt var kendt og hædret for sine romaner og noveller. Stangerup blev cand.jur. i 1966 og fik sin litterære debut i 1967 med krimiromanen "Gravskrift for Rødhætte". Året efter fik hun sit litterære gennembrud med værket "De gule handsker". I løbet af sin karriere modtog hun adskillige priser, heriblandt De Gyldne Laurbær i 1985 og Thit Jensens forfatterlegat i 1990. Udover sine skønlitterære værker udgav Stangerup flere faglitterære værker om historikeren Saxo.

King's bestselling supernatural tale about a boy, his girlfriend and a possessed '58 Plymouth Fury car called Christine. This is the story of a lover's triangle . . . It was bad from the start. And it got worse in a hurry. Christine is eating into his mind, burrowing into his unconscious. Christine, blood-red, fat, and finned, is twenty. Her promise lies all in her past. Greedy and big, she is Arnie's obsession, a '58 Plymouth Fury. Broken down but not finished. There is still power in her - a frightening power that leaks like sump oil, staining and corrupting. A malign power that corrodes the mind and turns ownership into Possession.

Christine Granville, G.M., O.B.E. and Croix de Guerre, one of the most successful women agents of the Second World War and said to have been Churchill's 'favourite spy', was murdered, aged 37, in a London Hotel in 1952. Her actions as a British secret agent in Poland, Hungary and France were legendary even in her lifetime and she repeatedly risked her life to undertake dangerous missions. Her exploits began after the fall of Poland when she became a British agent; organising the escape of British prisoners-of-war, Polish pilots and refugees and returning to Poland, her homeland, to set up escape routes and report on German troop movements. Her capture by the Gestapo led to a dramatic escape from Budapest in the boot of a car followed by travels through Turkey and Syria to Cairo. Christine is an inspiring and unforgettable true story.
