Gift

I sin tredje erindringsbog vender Tove Ditlevsen tilbage til sin ungdom og fortæller om det kærlighedsløse ægteskab med Viggo F., om forelskelsen i den sværmeriske Ebbe, som hun får sit første barn med, og om lægen Carl, som hun gifter sig med. Romanen er en usminket fortælling om ægteskabet og Ditlevsen´s omsiggribende misbrug af alkohol og piller. Den skabte både opmærksomhed og forargelse da den udkom første gang, og indledes i denne nye udgave med et forord af Dy Plambeck.

Eliksirer, pulvere og gasser ”Indbyggerne i den sydfranske landsby Pont-Saint-Esprit tror ikke deres egne øjne natten mellem den 24. og 25. august 1951. De mareridtsagtige scener, der udspiller sig i og omkring landsbyens gamle hospital ”Hôtel-Dieu”, er som taget ud af en grotesk gyserfilm. Bag hospitalets mure kæmper sygepersonale desperat for at tumle et pludseligt og meget stort antal hallucinerende og vanvittige mennesker. Flere af patienterne flår deres spændetrøjer i stykker og myldrer ud i hospitalshaven, mens andre løsriver sig fra deres fiksering til hospitalssengene og forsøger at kaste sig ud ad vinduerne.” (Uddrag fra bogen). Med afsæt i en mystisk og tragisk masseforgiftning, der spredte død og vanvid i en fransk landsby i 1951, fortæller Jakob Eberhardt i denne bog, hvordan gift altid har været en dødelig trussel for mennesket – fra giftige svampe i middelalderbondens korn til krigsgasserne på 1. verdenskrigs slagmarker. Gift er imidlertid ikke kun et onde. I århundreder har farlige kemiske stoffer for eksempel været udnyttet medicinsk eller til bekæmpelse af skadedyr. Gennem ti kapitler fortæller GIFT – fra dødelig dosis til mirakelmiddel , hvordan gift på godt og ondt har præget menneskers liv og samfund gennem historien. Jakob Eberhardt er cand.mag. i historie og dansk og uddannet fagjournalist. Han er forfatter til bl.a. bøgerne ”Verdenshistoriens største epidemier” (FADL’s Forlag, 2016/2020) og ”Den blodrøde flod” om den finske borgerkrig 1918 (Gyldendal, 2014).
