Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this second part of her notionally autobiographical trilogy, Selma Lagerloef broadens the perspective from the farm where she grew up to include the people and places around Lake Fryken in her beloved Varmland county. The personal creation myth which she began in Marbacka continues here with a focus on the self-discipline and imagination needed to fulfil a childhood ambition to become an author. It is hard work that sometimes means taking a stand against convention but also a deeply enriching process in a home steeped in storytelling and books. The mature author reveals the roots of the young bibliophile's growing skill in deploying fiction to manipulate and embellish reality, producing a wryly charming, tongue-in-cheek account that we should beware of taking at face value.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Often referred to as Sweden's Charlotte Bronte, Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) was widely translated during her lifetime and became internationally acclaimed as the author of an impressive series of novels and travel books. The Colonel's Family first appeared in two parts in 1830-31 as part of a series which she called Sketches from Daily Life - a title which at an early stage declared her lifelong preoccupation with the details of her domestic day.What was less immediately apparent to her contemporaries was her courage in abandoning the prevailing conventions of insipid romantic fiction in order to explore more profound social and moral problems. Her novel is now recognised as a sensitive exploration of the problems of a frustrated, silenced woman, a creature of strong repressed passions, in an era of highly constrictive marital conventions. The striking narrative style is a combination of the picaresque, the sentimental, the realistic, the comic and even the farcical. This translation of a classic of Swedish literature preserves the freshness and idiosyncratic flavour of the original.Sarah Death has over thirty years' experience as a translator from Swedish and has won the George Bernard Shaw Prize three times. In 2014 she was awarded the Royal Order of the Polar Star for services to Swedish literature. She has translated books in a wide variety of genres including children's stories, crime fiction, literary criticism, novels by Nobel laureate Selma Lagerloef and the work of many contemporary writers.

[Bjørn Tysdahl, Mats Jansson, Jakob Lothe and Steen Klitgård Povlsen, Editors] {Norvik Press; Norwich; 2000; Cloth; Near Fine/Very Good; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; ISBN: 1-870041-49-6.} Dj rubbed, with slight wear at extremities, faint crease at rear tail. Clean and unmarked. "This invaluable collection of essays explores the relationship between the Anglo-American Modernism associated with James Joyce, Henry James, T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, and others, and the forms of Modernism that emerged in the different Nordic countries at widely differing moments. Modernism is a truly international movement, which cuts across many national boundaries, yet not every manifestation is the same and these thematically homogeneous but methodologically diverse essays subject this phenomenon to systematic discussion. But in the process of establishing affinities and differences between Anglo-American and Nordic Modernism this book provides English readers with a novel, and long overdue, map of the inception and growth of Modernism in the Nordic countries and thus invites renewed exploration of the familiar, and seemingly well-charted Modernism of the English, Irish, and American pantheon." Listing updated 2-20-2009.
