      PRAXIS is a modern classic: the portrait of a woman set in time, yet timeless. We see her first as the innocent Praxis Duveen, aged five; watch her, as the men in her life come and go, through many drastic changes in fortune and circumstance. Until, from a prison both psychological and real, she emerges as Patty Fletcher, considered as bad as a woman can be and yet her own mistress.

      Dit eerste deel beslaat haar Parijse jaren van 1931 tot 1934, waarin de ontmoeting en de daaruit voortvloeiende intense vriendschap met Henry Miller een grote plaats inneemt. Maar ook Hitler en Franco, het maatschappelijk engagement tegenover de individuele artisticiteit, het surrealisme, het theater van de wreedheid, veranderende opvattingen over literatuur en schilderkunst, zijn dingen die nu nog doorwerken en zelfs steeds belangrijker worden.

    • From Nobel Prize winner Heinrich Böll, an inventive & sardonic portrayal of the effects of the Nazi period on a group of ordinary people. Weaving together the stories of a diverse array of characters, Böll explores the often bizarre & always very human courses chosen by people attempting to survive in a world marked by political madness, absurdity & destruction. At the center of his tale is Leni Pfeiffer, a German woman whose secret romance with a Soviet prisoner of war both sustains & threatens her life. As the narrator interviews those who knew Pfeiffer, their stories come together in a dazzling mosaic, rich in satire, yet hinting at the promise of a saner world.
