Would it contribute to inflation? This book provides an objective, expert guide to these and many other questions about theUBI.

"... Chez nous, chers lecteurs, cela soit dit sans vous fâcher (peut-être vous fâcherez-vous qu'un éleveur d'abeilles vous parle aussi familièrement qu'à son compère), chez nous, à la campagne, voici ce qui se passe de toute éternité : aussitôt que les travaux des champs sont terminés, le moujik grimpe pour tout l'hiver sur son poêle, et nous autres, nous cachons nos abeilles dans une cave obscure. Quand il n'y a plus une seule grue dans le ciel, plus une seule poire sur l'arbre, alors, aussitôt le soir arrivé, vous êtes sûrs d'apercevoir, au bout de la rue, une maisonnette éclairée d'où sortent des bruits de rires, de chansons qui s'entendent au loin; la balalaika résonne et quelquefois aussi le violon mêlés au brouhaha des conversations. Ce sont nos vetchernitsy. Elles ressemblent, voyez-vous, à vos bals; seulement, on ne peut pas dire que ce soit tout à fait la même chose. Quand vous vous rendez au bal, c'est uniquement dans le bût de faire aller vos jambes et de bâiller dans vos mains ; tandis que chez nous, une foule de jeunes filles se réunissent non pas pour danser, mais pour faire marcher la quenouille et le fuseau..."

Til den ven jeg aldrig har kendt, der er tilegnet den franske forfatter og fotograf Hervé Guibert, er både en roman, et alternativt kunstnerportræt og en øm og kritisk selvransagelse. I parallelle spor udforskes emner som venskab og kønsidentitet, det økologiske kollaps, invasive arter, kærlighed, ensomhed og livet med litteraturen, samt fortællingen om den romerske kejser Hadrian og hans unge elsker Antinoos.

De seks elegier, der udgør den senromerske digter Maximians eneste kendte værk, beskriver livet som én lang forfaldsproces. I bogens seks klagesange begræder digteren sit eget kropslige forfald, sit tab af potens og af værdighed.Levende død, der stammer fra det 6. årh. e.v.t., føjer sig til den danske forfatter og oversætter Harald Voetmanns meget anmelderroste række af oversættelser af den romerske litteratur – fra Plinius d. ældre over Petronius’ Satyricon, Sulpicia og Juvenal til senest Catuls digte. I dette selskab er Maximian langt den mest sortsynede.Denne bog handler i høj grad om det mistede og længslen efter det. Men lige så ubærligt trøstesløse elegierne er, lige så komiske er elegierne også i versenes lethed og frådende hån og spot af forfatteren og hans maskuline forfængelighed. Oldingens krop er et ”gravsted for sanser og vid”, alderdommen sammenlignes med at være en levende død, og den aldrende digter latterliggør sig selv nådesløst: ”Vaklende, skælvende står gammelfar og tror altid det værste (…). / Hensvundne dage lovpriser han og foragter samtiden, / kun det, han selv kender til, regnes for vigtigt og sandt. / Han mener, at han alene i verden er lærd og forstandig. / Når han fremturer som vis, / bliver han visselig dum.”Der er mange mislykkede samlejer i Levende død, og generelt beskrives den seksuelle drift som plagsom og pinefuld; selv digterens impotens er ikke i stand til at fjerne det evige begær. Seksualiteten bliver beskrevet som ét stort tab – af uskyld, af potens. Men det handler om mere end kroppens forfald: Hos Maximian bevæger den gamle mands slappe lem sig ”på et øjeblik fra det private til det kosmiske, fra eksem og rindende øjne til stormagters kollaps og alt levendes ophør”, som Harald Voetmann skriver i efterordet, og bliver til en metafor for forgængelighed som universel livsbetingelse.Om den senromerske digter Maximians liv ved man næsten intet[LB1] . I elegierne fortæller han, at han er af etruskisk afstamning, at han har været advokat, at han har kendt filosoffen, senatoren og digterkollegaen Böethius, og at han som aldrende mand har været sendt på diplomatisk fredsmission til Konstantinopel – intet vides dog med sikkerhed.Maximians eneste kendte værk er disse seks elegier fra midten af det 6. århundrede e.v.t. Heri jamrer han over sin svigtende potens, svælger i sine minder om alt det, der aldrig blev til noget, og beklager sig over altings – kroppens, nationens, universets – forfald.
