Autor: Karin Smirnoff

Número de Páginas: 346

Le Nord de la Suède est devenu le nouvel eldorado vert, attirant des grandes entreprises avides qui ne reculent devant rien pour s’enrichir, tandis que des bandes criminelles agissent dans l’ombre, prêtes à tout pour se tailler la meilleure part du gâteau. Mikael Blomkvist et Lisbeth Salander se retrouvent malgré eux au milieu d’une bataille sans merci, où les forces du mal sont prêtes à tout pour faire fortune. Et où les hommes n’aiment toujours pas les femmes. Karin Smirnoff reprend les rênes de la saga Millénium et signe avec “La Fille dans les griffes de l’aigle” un thriller palpitant et d’une actualité brûlante avec, en toile de fond, les conflits mal assumés des pays nordiques à l’heure de la transition écologique.

States of Decadence

Autor: Guri Barstad , Karen P. Knutsen

Número de Páginas: 354

States of Decadence is a two volume anthology that focuses on the literary and cultural phenomenon of decadence. Particular attention is given to literature from the end of the 1800s, the fin de siècle; however, the essays presented here are not restricted to this historical period, but draw lines both back in time and forward to our day to illuminate the contradictory multiplicity inherent in decadence. Furthermore, the essays go beyond literary studies, drawing on a number of the tropes and themes of decadence manifested in the arts and culture, such as in music, opera, film, history, and even jewelry design.

Tout ce que les gens célèbres ont fait, ou pas, à toutes les époques et dans tous les domaines, à votre âge. « L’âge est un quartier de la vie que l’on habite tous ensemble, même si ce n’est pas au même moment. Plusieurs siècles séparent Gutenberg, Élisabeth Borne, Édouard Daladier, Anne-Sophie Pic et Humphrey Bogart, mais ici ils ont 54 ans tous les cinq: le premier invente l’imprimerie, sa voisine est PDG de la RATP, le troisième ratifie les accords de Munich, la suivante est la femme la plus étoilée au monde, le dernier fait le plus gros succès de sa carrière. Le succès n’a pas d’âge, les catastrophes non plus. À 54 ans, on peut devenir Hannah Arendt ou Anne Hidalgo, Montesquieu ou George W. Bush. Mais la case prison est également bien remplie: on y trouve Bernard Tapie, Boris Becker, Auguste Blanqui, R. Kelly, Modibo Keïta, l’ancien président du Mali, Jeanine Áñez, l’ancienne présidente de Bolivie, le grand amiral Dönitz, Adolf Eichmann, il y a même Elisabeth Báthory emmurée vivante dans une pièce de son château... Comme chaque quartier, celui-ci se trouve à la croisée des chemins. »Frédéric Taddeï

A Literary and Historical Exploration of the Life and Works of Runar Schildt

Autor: George C. Schoolfield

Número de Páginas: 315

This is the first book written for an English language audience on the work of the Finland-Swedish author, Runar Schildt (1888-1925). Schildt was a highly cosmopolitan writer, who kept a keen eye on the latest continental prose and showed an affinity for the literary decadence that was in fashion around the turn-of-the-century, as well as early modernism. He worked as a literary critic, a theater director, and a translator, which kept him in touch with the latest literary trends in Europe. The book posits that Schildt’s work bears witness to the turbulent times he lived in: he saw his native Finland transformed from a Grand Duchy of Russia to a republic, against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution and the Finnish Civil War. Schildt’s literary career provides important cultural and historical insights into this significant moment of modern European history.

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (MARIE CLAIRE): A sweeping historical fiction novel about the fall of the Soviet Union, told through the eyes of Ukrainian mothers and daughters over 4 decades “An astute, deeply empathic portrayal of the dislocation of first-generation immigrants and intergenerational trauma” — Financial Times In this stunning work of political historical fiction, loaded with “vibrancy and humour”, the collapse of the Soviet Union reverberates throughout multiple generations of 2 families—presaging and foreshadowing conflicts in Russia's Ukraine War (TLS). As a child, Lena longs to pick hazelnuts in the woods with her grandmother. Instead, she is raised to be a good socialist: sent to Pioneer summer camps where she's taught to worship Lenin and sing songs in praise of the glorious Soviet Union. But perestroika is coming. Lena's corner of the USSR is now Ukraine, and corruption and patronage are the only ways to get by—to secure a place at university, an apartment, treatment for a sick baby. For Tatjana, the shock of the new means the first McDonald's in the Soviet Union and certified foreign whisky, but no food in the shops; it means terrible choices about...

An International Annotated Bibliography of Strindberg Studies 1870-2005: Autobiographies, novels, poetry, letters, historical works, natural history and science, lingiustics, painting and the other arts, politics, psychopathology, biography, miscellaneous, dissertations

Autor: Michael Robinson

Número de Páginas: 770

This copiously annotated bibliography documents and examines the whole range of commentary on Strindberg's works and activity in many fields besides the plays for which he is internationally best known. These include his prose fiction and poetry, his work as an historian and natural historian, and his relationship to the other arts, most notably his painting. It is concerned with both lasting works of literary and dramatic criticism, as well as reviews of his books and plays in the theatre, and some more ephemeral material, all of this in several languages. Organised generically and by subject and individual work, the bibliography enables the reader to trace the changing impact of Strindberg and his works in various countries and during different periods. It is thus very much a study in reception as well as a bibliographical record of published material. It traces the developing image of Strindberg and his writing both during his lifetime and in subsequent years, and with frequent cross reference offers a comprehensive overview of a literary and existential project that has rarely been matched for its multifaceted diversity. The bibliography is published in three parts. Volume 1,...

Nordic Literature

Número de Páginas: 765

Nordic Literature: A comparative history is a multi-volume comparative analysis of the literature of the Nordic region. Bringing together the literature of Finland, continental Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Sápmi), and the insular region (Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands), each volume of this three-volume project adopts a new frame through which one can recognize and analyze significant clusters of literary practice. This first volume, Spatial nodes, devotes its attention to the changing literary figurations of space by Nordic writers from medieval to contemporary times. Organized around the depiction of various “scapes” and spatial practices at home and abroad, this approach to Nordic literature stretches existing notions of temporally linear, nationally centered literary history and allows questions of internal regional similarities and differences to emerge more strongly. The productive historical contingency of the “North” as a literary space becomes clear in this close analysis of its literary texts and practices.

'When Storm Jameson set out to write a memoir... she found literary gold' VIVIAN GORNICK 'A fascinating life story, told with passion, clarity and a fierce intelligence' SARAH WATERS After decades of writing a novel every year, Storm Jameson found her form in the memoir. With stringent, witty self-scrutiny, she wrestled with the great events of her life: childhood struggles with her tempestuous mother; an early, unhappy marriage; repeated flights from settled domestic life; and a hard-won career in writing and politics. In a voice of electric immediacy, Jameson recounts the great shocks of the twentieth century, from losing her brother in the First World War to tirelessly helping refugees escape Nazi Germany during the Second. An arrestingly candid account of a rich life, this is one the great literary memoirs.

Rilke: The Last Inward Man

Autor: Lesley Chamberlain

Número de Páginas: 256

An incisive and intimate account of the life and work of the great poet Rilke, exploring the rich interior world he created in his poetry When Rilke died in 1926, his reputation as a great poet seemed secure. But as the tide of the critical avant-garde turned, he was increasingly dismissed as apolitical, as too inward. In Rilke: The Last Inward Man, acclaimed critic Lesley Chamberlain uses this charge as the starting point from which to explore the expansiveness of the inner world Rilke created in his poetry. Weaving together searching insights on Rilke's life, work and reception, Chamberlain casts Rilke's inwardness as a profound response to a world that seemed ever more lacking in spirituality. In works of dazzling imagination and rich imagery, Rilke sought to restore spirit to Western materialism, encouraging not narrow introversion but a heightened awareness of how to live with the world as it is, of how to retain a sense of transcendence within a world of collapsed spiritual certainty.

Strindberg and Autobiography

Autor: Michael Robinson

Número de Páginas: 223

This is a book about Strindberg and about autobiographical writing, about how a particular writer projects himself in language, the problems this entails, the subterfuges it engenders, about how he finds and loses himself there. It therefore attempts to place this central aspect of Strindberg’s project upon a more nuanced and substantial footing than the familiar tradition of biographical criticism in Strindberg studies normally permits, and does not restrict itself only to those works singled out by Strindberg as explicitly autobiographical. Nor, I should perhaps add, does it concern itself in any detailed way with the laborious examination of the relative accuracy of the life Strindberg attributed to himself – whether, for example, the description of his early years in The Son of a Servant as a time of fear and hunger is in fact belied by the evident plenitude in the way of food and drink as chronicled in his father’s household accounts. In any case, the myth a writer generates about his own experience is as significant a fact as any other, and a writer like Strindberg merely accentuates the way in which all of us live our lives as fictions in terms of the available...
