Holberg
Jens Kr. Andersen og Leif Emerek har samlet nogle af Hans Scherfigs kortere og længere essays om forfattere og litterære emner. Det kan næppe overraske, at rationalisten og samfundssatirikeren Ludvig Holberg er centralt placeret i Hans Scherfigs univers - ikke færre end fire indgående afhandlinger er helliget ham. Bogen rummer også varmtfølte kapitler om vennerne Otto Gelsted, Hans Kirk, Bertolt Brecht og Nordahl Grieg, og i andre afsnit behandles klassiske digtere, hvis liv og værker har fængslet læseren Hans Scherfig. I atter andre øves hvas kritik af samtidige skribenters indsats på literære og andre områder, og bogen giver et fuldgyldigt billede såvel af essayisten Hans Scherfigs milde og idyllisk facetter som af den vågne satire og den pointerede skrivekunst, der er hans særkende som forfatter.

About the author
Hans Scherfig
61 books31 followersHans Scherfig was a renowned Danish author and artist.
His most famous works of literature include Det Forsømte Forår (Stolen Spring), Frydenholm, Idealister (Idealists), and Skorpionen (The Scorpion), the last of which was published in over 20 countries. He is also well-known for his distinctive Naivist lithographs which depict jungle and savanna scenes that owe something to Henri Rousseau, and various drawings and paintings with satirical, political, and biblical subject matter.
Central to Scherfigs work was his life-long political engagement. Already in his early years he became a dedicated communist and remained so until his death in 1979.
Because of this Scherfig was imprisoned by the Nazi German military occupation forces in Denmark during WWII. During the Cold War, Scherfig intensified his critical attitude against the USA.
