Children's Literature in Translation
Children's classics from Alice in Wonderland to the works of Astrid Lindgren, Roald Dahl, J.K. Rowling and Philip Pullman are now generally recognized as literary achievements that from a translator's point of view are no less demanding than 'serious' (adult) literature. This volume attempts to explore the various challenges posed by the translation of children's literature and at the same time highlight some of the strategies that translators can and do follow when facing these challenges. A variety of translation theories and concepts are put to critical use, including Even-Zohar's polysystem theory, Toury's concept of norms, Venuti's views on foreignizing and domesticating translations an...
Indigenous Peoples' Rights in Southern Africa
This book is concerned with the first peoples (those people who are considered indigenous by themselves and others) of southern Africa such as the San, the Nama, and the Khoi, and their rights. Although living in democratic countries like Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana --and in principle sharing the same rights and responsibilities as the rest of the population--practice shows that these peoples more often than not are at the margins of the societies in which they live; they often face extreme poverty, and they frequently are subjected to discriminatory treatment and exposed to all kinds of human rights abuses. Robert K. Hitchcock is professor of anthropology and geography at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA. He has done extensive research and development work in southern Africa in general and among San peoples in particular. Diana Vinding is an anthropologist working with the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) in Copenhagen.
Sky City
In Denmark, the science fiction short story is a thriving genre, though mostly as a subculture. Since 2007, The Danish science fiction association, Science Fiction Cirklen, has published an annual anthology of original science fiction short stories written by Danish authors. The present volume contains a selection from the first two of these annual anthologies. Many Danish authors place their stories in a local setting, and all of them have something to say in addition to "just" being entertaining. You will find philosophical parables, time travels, space yarns, alternate history and much more, as well as stories which in different ways come close to the literary mainstream. The huge Anglo-A...
Gruppen Mandril
En roman om børn og voksne i en dansk provinsby. En roman om et mord. Morderen kendes, men hvem er den skyldige?

Nattens rygrad
Den danske forfatter og filminstruktør Arthur Krasilnikoff (1941-2012) var engageret i afrikanske buskmenneskers liv og historier. Nattens rygrad foregår i Kalahari i det sydlige Afrika. Tidligt en vintermorgen går en dreng ud for at tisse og opdager, at træer og buske er dækket at tåge. Det har han aldrig før set. I det samme kommer en gruppe mænd ud af tågen. De går ind på bopladsen og dræber hans mor, hans far, hans søskende, kvinder og mænd, børn. Ingen bemærker drengen, der begiver sig alene afsted gennem det kolossale landskab. Myter og beretninger om tilblivelse, et mylder af komiske og tragiske, poetiske og grumme historier fra nutid og fortid spindes sammen til en roman om folk i Kalahari. Nattens rygrad udkom oprindeligt i 1999 og i tysk oversættelse 2002.
