Violence has many faces. Pernilla Stalfelt caricatures them in an inimitable way, provoking discussions and conversations. With this book, the Swedish author also wants to stimulate thought. Thoughts about the many facets of violence: from the sandbox to the wheelchair, from the Vikings to the present day, violence has existed and still exists. Sometimes it may be necessary (e.g. before a mosquito bites), but how can it be avoided? Violence on television? Only interesting as long as you don't get a bloody nose yourself! Besides torture and bombs it also brands environmental destruction and verbal attacks as forms of violence.
