<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI den h\u00e4r boken, A Company of Fools<\/strong><\/em>, har Deborah Ellis valt Henri<\/strong>, en tolv\u00e5rig gosskorist i ett kloster i Frankrike<\/strong>, som huvudperson. Han har levt i kyrkans v\u00e4rld ett tag redan, och han \u00e4r ganska n\u00f6jd med det. Det \u00e4r ganska stillsamt, och han tycker om ordningen och studierna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n S\u00e5 kommer en av br\u00f6derna tillbaka fr\u00e5n en av sina l\u00e5nga resor, och han har med sig n\u00e5got alldeles nytt. Han brukar ha med sig saker — den h\u00e4r g\u00e5ngen har han med sig en pojke som ska bli en del av klosterskolan. Micah <\/strong>heter han. Han \u00e4r Henris motsats p\u00e5 n\u00e4stan alla vis — inte ett dugg pr\u00e4ktig, snarare busig och rebellisk. Men sjunga kan han, och det g\u00f6r han ocks\u00e5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Samtidigt sprider sig digerd\u00f6den i Frankrike, och m\u00e4nniskor \u00e4r livr\u00e4dda. Finns det n\u00e5got som Henri och Micah kan g\u00f6ra?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Company of Fools <\/em>kallar de sitt projekt, och det \u00e4r ocks\u00e5 bokens titel. Jag l\u00e4ste den f\u00f6r ungef\u00e4r tio \u00e5r sedan och gav den genast vidare eftersom jag tyckte s\u00e5 mycket om den. Tyv\u00e4rr lyckades jag inte \u00f6vertyga mina kolleger p\u00e5 f\u00f6rlaget d\u00e4r jag arbetade d\u00e5 om att vi var tvungna att ge ut den … Kanske skulle det ha varit annorlunda nu? Men jag har ingen aning om vart boken tog v\u00e4gen, och jag minns st\u00e4mningen snarare \u00e4n m\u00e5nga detaljer. M\u00e5ste nog best\u00e4lla ett nytt exemplar nu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Corona \u00e4r ju inte den f\u00f6rsta epidemin som har drabbat v\u00e5r v\u00e4rld. P\u00e5 en del s\u00e4tt har vi mycket b\u00e4ttre m\u00f6jligheter att stoppa en epidemi nu — och p\u00e5 en del s\u00e4tt blir det v\u00e4rre eftersom s\u00e5 m\u00e5nga kan bli s\u00e5 v\u00e4ldigt r\u00e4dda och g\u00f6ra irrationella saker n\u00e4r s\u00e5 mycket information och s\u00e5 m\u00e5nga rykten kan spridas s\u00e5 snabbt. Men vi \u00e4r inte de f\u00f6rsta som upplever hur en ok\u00e4nd och g\u00e5tfull sjukdom sprider sig p\u00e5 of\u00f6ruts\u00e4gbara vis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Det finns en del att l\u00e4sa om Deborah Ellis hos hennes svenska f\u00f6rlag, Bonnier Carlsen<\/a>. N\u00e5gra av hennes b\u00f6cker finns \u00f6versatta till svenska, men hon har skrivit m\u00e5nga, m\u00e5nga fler.
