Sylvester

Flot bog om Leif Sylvesters arbejde i det litografiske værksted hos Edition Copenhagen, hvor processen og de mange trykgange med de store sten beskrives i en slags fotoreportage trin for trin. Bogen indeholder også en illustreret fortegnelse over Sylvesters 136 litografiske værker, hvoraf de fleste er udsolgt. Da hvert motiv er trykt i 150 til 300 eksemplarer, må det betyde at Sylvesters grafik hænger i måske mere end 20.000 hjem. Der findes ikke mange bøger om litografi. Denne kombination af en instruktiv beskrivelse og farverige resultater giver en rigtig fin fornemmelse af det gamle, hæderkronede håndværk, som tidligere blev brugt til tryk af alt fra etiketter til teaterplakater, men idag primært anvendes til kunsttryk.

Sylvester, hertug af Salford, har høje krav til sin kommende brud. Da han møder Phoebe Marlow, en ung dame med store litterære ambitioner, bliver hans liv pludselig meget kompliceret. Hun opfylder ingen af hans kriterier, og værre endnu, så har hun skrevet en roman, som går sin sejrsgang og giver anledning til al mulig sladder ... og han er hovedpersonen! "Helt igennem vidunderlige regency-historier ... Ren og skær, medrivende eskapisme." - Sophie Kinsella om Georgette Heyer "En af de forfattere, jeg altid vender tilbage til ... Heyers bøger er lige så knivskarpe, vittige og subtilt rebelske som Jane Austens." - Joanne Harris, forfatter til "Chokolade", filmatiseret i 2000 under titlen "Chocolat" med Juliette Binoche og Johnny Depp i hovedrollerne. Den engelske forfatterinde Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) er bedst kendt for sine historiske romaner, som foregår i sidste halvdel af 1700-tallet og første halvdel af 1800-tallet. Hun udgav sin første roman som 19-årig og blev hurtigt populær blandt læserne. Heyer har, af eftertiden, især fået ros for sin evne til at ramme tonen og detaljerne i de historiske miljøer, hun beskriver.
