Im Flow der Welle
Die achtzehnjährige Marieke fährt in ihren Sommerferien auf die Insel Borkum, um einen Windsurfkurs zu besuchen. Dort verliebt sie sich Hals über Kopf in ihren attraktiven Surflehrer Keno. Auch Keno zeigt Interesse an ihr, indem er viel Zeit mit ihr verbringt und ihr gratis Einzelunterricht im Kitesurfen anbietet. Andererseits verhält er sich zurückhaltend gegenüber ihren Flirtversuchen. Außerdem ist er bereits mit Fiene liiert, mit der er die Surfschule auf Borkum leitet. Die Eifersucht seiner Freundin ignorierend macht Keno sich für Marieke immer interessanter, indem er ihr nach dem Surfkurs ausgiebig von seiner abenteuerlichen Reise über Amsterdam nach Kalifornien und seinen Erfahrungen im Big-Wave-Surfen in Santa Cruz und Mavericks erzählt. Doch was verbirgt sich hinter der außergewöhnlichen Aufmerksamkeit dieses interessanten Mannes Marieke gegenüber?
Scandinavism
"Despite its failure as a political mobilizer, Scandinavism as a cultural movement would have a great impact on national consciousness-raising in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden by stressing common ethnolinguistic, mythological and historical roots. This cultural vision is traced in the long 19th century, specifically in its interactions and overlaps with the various nationally specific manifestations of cultural nationalism. Through an in-depth analysis of an extensive corpus of cultural products - ranging from novels and poetry to public commemorations, painting and street name signs - this book demonstrates that cultural Scandinavism was successful in forging a common pan-Scandinavian identity that supplemented and strengthened national-identity formation in the three nationalities it aimed to unify"--
Modernism and the Ideology of History
Louise Williams explores the nature of historical memory in the work of five major Modernists: Yeats, Pound, Hulme, Ford and Lawrence. These Modernists, Williams argues, started their careers with historical assumptions derived from the nineteenth century. But their views on the universal structure of history, on the abandonment of progress and the adoption of a cyclical sense of the past, were the result of important conflicts and changes within the Modernist period. Williams focuses on the period immediately before World War I, and shows in detail how Modernism developed and why it is considered a unique intellectual movement. She also revisits the theory that the Edwardian age was a difficult period of transition to the modern world. Finally, she illuminates the contribution of non-Western culture to the literature and thought of the period. This wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary study is essential reading for literary and cultural historians of the modernist period.
