Manga
A collection of essays by an international cast of scholars, experts, and fans, providing a definitive, one-stop Manga resource.
Contemporary Jewish Writing in Europe
With contributions from a dozen American and European scholars, this volume presents an overview of Jewish writing in post--World War II Europe. Striking a balance between close readings of individual texts and general surveys of larger movements and underlying themes, the essays portray Jewish authors across Europe as writers and intellectuals of multiple affiliations and hybrid identities. Aimed at a general readership and guided by the idea of constructing bridges across national cultures, this book maps for English-speaking readers the productivity and diversity of Jewish writers and writing that has marked a revitalization of Jewish culture in France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, and Russia.
Literature and the Peripheral City
Cities have always been defined by their centrality. But literature demonstrates that their diverse peripheries define them, too: from suburbs to slums, rubbish dumps to nightclubs and entire failed cities. The contributors to this collection explore literary urban peripheries through readings of literature from four continents and numerous cities.
The Diamond Mystery
Somebody is stealing diamonds from the jeweler Mohammed Carat! It looks like the culprit is someone on his staff, but who? Is it Luke Smith, the recently hired fitness fanatic with a taste for the finer things in life? It surely can't be Vivian Leander, the loyal shop assistant who is now short of money ... The police in the little town of Valleby are stuck, so they contact young detectives Jerry and Maya, classmates who run their own detective agency. Will Jerry and Maya be able to use their detective skills to find the thief? As they well know, even a tiny clue is worth its weight in gold.

Örnflöjten
»Örnflöjten, den avslutande delen i Elvira Birgitta Holms fascinerande och suggestiva medeltidstrilogi, har samma förtjänster som Månskensvargen och Ormringen. Man fängslas av Holms poetiska, bildrika språk och välfungerande berättargrepp … Författarens sakkunskap om medeltiden är imponerande … Örnflöjten avslutar på ett verkligt storslaget sätt Vargtrilogin!« Bibliotekstjänst Spännande romanläsning om svensk historia! Örnflöjten är den efterlängtade tredje delen i Elvira Birgitta Holms Vargtrilogi som inleddes med Augustnominerade Månskensvargen, följd av Ormringen. Böckerna är en djupdykning i medeltiden, skrivna med ett flygande vackert språk och stor sakkunskap. I Örnflöjten möter vi på nytt Ylva, Mikael och sonen Ulv, liksom Mikaels förbjudna kärlek Anselm. Ödet tvingar isär dem och på skilda håll upplever de både kärlek och dramatik innan de slutligen återses mitt under Valdemar Atterdags blodiga erövring av Gotland 1361. Vågar de drömma om fred och lycka?
Ormringen
»Ormringen, den andra delen, håller första delens höga standard, långt över 600 sidor lika andlös spänning.« Dagens Nyheter Uppföljaren till Augustprisnominerade romanen Månskensvargen! I romanen Ormringen, som utspelar sig under svenskt 1300-tal, följer vi Ylva och Mikaels fortsatta öden fram till natten då sonen Ulv föds. Mikael tvingas på nytt fly för sitt liv.
Democracy in Picturebooks from Sweden and United States, 2000–2020
Democracy in Picturebooks from Sweden and the United States, 2000-2020 explores democracy-themed picturebooks written for children between the ages of three and ten. With multiple analyses of picturebooks throughout the twenty-first century, the authors illustrate how picturebooks can play a vital role in the development of children’s perceptions about the different principles of democracy. From a holistic perspective, these books can be seen as the starting point for socializing children who will come to lead and participate in democratic societies themselves. The multi-pronged approach in this research introduces: (a) concepts underlying the role of picturebooks in familiarizing children with concepts about democracy, (b) research methods for picturebook analyses, (c) exploration of specific exemplar picturebooks that address democratic principles, (d) how picturebooks link democracy with human qualities, (e) utilizing democracy-themed picturebooks in the home and the school. This project holds the promise of promoting meaningful instruction of democracy through the use of picturebooks.
