Showing results for "Essays" in Scandinavian

Jon Fosse said farewell to theory early in his career, choosing poetry, fiction, and drama as his mediums of choice. Here, however, in a selection from his two books of essays, we see just how incisive a critic and memoirist he can be. Not only including a generous portion of Fosse's writing on literature and theater—including the irresistible "Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather"—this collection also includes such personal essays such as "My Dear New Norwegian," "Old Houses," and "He Who Didn't Want to Become a Teacher."

Et ekslusivt udvalg af forfatteren Selma Lagerlöfs mindre kendte tekster - fortællinger, legender, essays og taler. Teksterne, der måske har stået i skyggen af hendes store romaner, kaster nyt lys over forfatterskabet - og på Selma Lagerlöf som den engagerede person, hun var. Selma Lagerlöf kæmpede i sin tid for kvinders stemmeret. Hun var medlem af Det Svenske Akademi, fik som den første kvinde Nobelprisen i litteratur og var - blandt andre politiske mærkesager - erklæret pacifist. Tilsammen giver de udvalgte tekster et indblik i forfatterskabets forløb og udvikling.
