Hvad kan der ske, n\u00e5r fire s\u00f8skende fors\u00f8ger at skabe et f\u00e6lles fiktivt univers og hvordan var det at leve i England i 1800-tallet?<\/span><\/p>\n

I n\u00e6rheden af den britiske by Haworth s\u00e6tter en kvinde sig p\u00e5 et t\u00e6ppe i et moseomr\u00e5de og en mand st\u00e5r pludselig ved hendes side. Hans navn er Charles Wellesley og han fort\u00e6ller hende, at han altid har v\u00e6ret der, selvom hun ikke altid har villet have ham og at der er sket ting der hvor han kommer fra. Men Glass Town eksisterer stadig. Kvindens navn er Charlotte Bront\u00eb og Charles er en fiktiv karakter, som hun engang skabte sammen med hendes s\u00f8skende Branwell, Emily og Anne. De fire s\u00f8skende voksede op p\u00e5 en pr\u00e6steg\u00e5rd med deres far og vi m\u00f8der dem f\u00f8rste gang, da de lige har v\u00e6ret til en begravelse, da deres to \u00e6ldre s\u00f8stre d\u00f8de af sygdom. En dag kommer deres far hjem med en kasse med leget\u00f8jssoldater og de fire s\u00f8skendes fantasi s\u00e6tter gang i noget helt nyt:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEmily: \u201cAnd you, Anne. What shall you call yours? \u201c<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Anne: \u201cHe shall be called \u2026 Waiting Boy.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Emily: \u201cWhere have they come from, do you suppose?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Branwell: \u201cLeeds, silly!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Charlotte: \u201cOr far flung Africa\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Anne: \u201cOr another world.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In the beginning there were four great Genii. And their names were Tallii, Brannii, Emmii and Annii. They dwell at the top of Mount Atos, the highest of all the mountains of the Jibbel Kumri (or Mountains of the Moon, to those not fluent in the dialects of Angria).\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Og s\u00e5ledes blev en fiktiv verden skabt af Charlotte, Branwell, Emily og Anne. Men de fire s\u00f8skende blev ikke ved med at bo sammen, for en dag m\u00e5tte Charlotte flytte hjemmefra for at starte p\u00e5 en skole og der var overvejelser om at afslutte historien om Glass Town. Emily og Anne begyndte at skrive om deres eget univers og efterh\u00e5nden som tiden gik, m\u00e5tte Emily ogs\u00e5 flytte hjemmefra for at g\u00e5 i skole. Hun led af hjemve og da Anne s\u00e5 overtager hendes plads, m\u00e5 Charlotte indr\u00f8mme over for sig selv, at hun m\u00e5ske ikke helt har efterladt Glass Town hjemme i familiens hjem:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnne: \u201cAnd … do you manage, Charlotte? To keep thoughts of Glass Town at bay?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Charlotte: \u201c… Yes. I try.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This could not have been further from the truth. In fact something had begun to creep over Charlotte in those last few months.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Charlotte: \u201cIt is as though the world I inhabit .. this real world of darning and arithmetic and French verb conjugations \u2026 has ceased to be as real to me as that other world. The Infernal, beautiful world of Glass Town. The world below. I catch glimpses of Zamorna at the edge of my vision. A cloak disappearing around a corner, a shadow passing across a sunlit window. I long desperately to see him.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Men hvad sker der med historierne, n\u00e5r nogle skriver videre mens andre p\u00e5begynder nye historier og hvad skete der sidenhen med de fire s\u00f8skende?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Indimellem er der b\u00f8ger, som jeg l\u00e5ner p\u00e5 biblioteket og som jeg bliver s\u00e5 fascineret af, at jeg med det samme unders\u00f8ger hvor jeg kan k\u00f8be dem. Det her er en af de b\u00f8ger, for Greenbergs m\u00e5de at formidle historien om de fire Bront\u00eb-s\u00f8skende og deres fiktive univers har b\u00e5de givet mig lyst til at dykke ned i deres b\u00f8ger igen (og biografier om dem) og ogs\u00e5 se p\u00e5, hvad Greenberg ellers har udgivet, for jeg er vild med hendes streg i denne her. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alt i alt en fantastisk graphic novel om s\u00f8skendeflokken Charlotte, Emily, Anne og Branwell med efternavnet Bront\u00eb, der b\u00e5de st\u00f8tter og udfordrer hinanden p\u00e5 tv\u00e6rs af flokken og om det at give plads til fantasien i selv sv\u00e6re tider, for m\u00e5ske kan den hj\u00e6lpe p\u00e5 ens sind. <\/span><\/p>\n
