Drama - ordet stammer fra græsk af "dran" handle, gøre. Handling, drama, skuespil, digterisk genre. Siden oldtiden har man opdelt digtningen i hovedgenrerne epik, "fortælling", lyrik og drama. Drama tekster består mest af replikker til den enkelte skuespiller i dramaet. Eventuelt med stikord til hvorledes forfatteren opfatter situationen, hvor den skal foregå, om morgenen om aftenen osv. Drama er skuespil, så her findes skuespil i alle genrer.

156 sider. Orig. paperback. Oversat af Bibba Jørgen Jensen. Originaltitel "L'engrenage". Filmmanuskript Originaludgave 1946. Omslagstegning af Klaus Rainer. Retssagen mod en tidligere revolutionsanfører med anklage for magtmisbrug i den periode, da han har været hersker, viser, hvorledes magten korrumperer den oprindelige idealisme. ....## Filmmanuskriptet Rettergang (1946) havde arbejdstitlen »Urene hænder«. Både tematisk og ideologisk ligger det tæt op ad skuespillet Urene hænder (1948). Samme problematik: menneskets ubegrænsede frihed til - under ansvar - at realisere sig selv i handling - og samme konsekvens: frihedens veje fører til en tragisk erkendelse af de menneskelige handlingers absurditet og ender i døden. I Rettergang optrevles fortiden på næsten Ibsen'sk maner i utallige flashbacks, og den stramning af stoffet, som resulterede i Urene hænder, virker kun til gavn for den dramatiske idé. Denne drejebog om rettergangen mod den styrtede diktator Jean Aguerra, om de forhold, som først bragte ham til magten, sidensendte ham i døden, er trods åbenlyse svagheder et vigtigt og på godt og ondt karakteristisk led i en stor digters produktion. ### Anelse bleget i ryg - ellers som ny!

Dramaet om det to mænd, der trods alt føler dyb hengivenhed for hinanden, er almen – og evigmenneskeligt. Det virker særlig stærkt i en tid, da følelser som venskab og trofasthed udsættes for den hårdeste belastning, når de kommer i konflikt med politiske, religiøse og racemæssige hensyn.

This "impossible to put down" #1 New York Times bestseller introduces Amos Decker, a gifted police detective with a perfect memory who must solve a mystery he wishes he could forget: his family's murder (Washington Post). Amos Decker's life changed forever--twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to play in the NFL. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field forever, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can forget nothing. The second time was at home nearly two decades later. Now a police detective, Decker returned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare--his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered. His family destroyed, their killer's identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single detail from that horrible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can. But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to learn what really happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice. Memory Man will stay with you long after the turn of the final page.
