Hinter dem 24. Türchen verbergen sich die Werke der Spionin, Weltreisenden und Star-Autorin Aphra Behn, die Tobias Schwartz herausgegeben und übersetzt hat. Deren Themenspektrum reicht von Gender Trouble bis zur Zivilisationskritik und stets begehrt Behn auf gegen die unterdrückte Stellung der Frauen in ihrer Epoche, des 17. Jahrhunderts. Wir wünschen schöne Feiertage und viel Zeit zum Lesen!

Aphra Behn Statue
