Orthodox Christian Identity in Western Europe
This book analyses the discourses of Orthodox Christianity in Western Europe to demonstrate the emerging discrepancies between the mother Church in the East and its newer Western congregations. Showing the genesis and development of these discourses over the twentieth century, it examines the challenges the Orthodox Church is facing in the modern world. Organised along four different discursive fields, the book uses these fields to analyse the Orthodox Church in Western Europe during the twentieth century. It explores pastoral, ecclesiological, institutional and ecumenical discourses in order to present a holistic view of how the Church views itself and how it seeks to interact with other de...
Coping with Change
The book offers glimpses of Orthodox Christian dynamics in various contemporary contexts, either in Eastern and South Eastern Europe or in the USA. Contrary to long-established notions of an Orthodox fixedness and immobility, this book attempts to show how Orthodox dynamics work in various ways and on different levels, at times towards a re-traditionalisation and at times with an innovative agenda, always depending on the particular constellations of each context and on the constraints of Realpolitik. Using various theoretical perspectives and disciplinary lenses, this book mainly focuses on issues of identity, politics, and jurisdiction, and brings to the fore a variety of policies and strategies that Orthodox institutions and individual actors use in their attempt to creatively engage with the numerous challenges of modernity and the global era.

De høstlige hymner
Christian Rimestads digtsamling "De høstlige hymner" bugner af digte om Danmark og dets velkendte og skønne glæder, naturen, menneskene og kunsten. Samlingen indeholder også en række sonetter og elegier, og til sammen tegner digtene et billede af en verden og et menneske, der både indeholder sorg, glæde, skønhed og tristhed. Christian Rimestad (1878-1943) var en dansk forfatter, digter, oversætter og litteraturkritikker. Han debuterede som digter i 1905 med digtsamlingen "Aftnerne" og skrev foruden flere digtsamlinger en lang række bøger om litteraturhistorie.

Harmony and Unity: The Life of Niels Bohr
“Blaedel has addressed himself to the task of writing a full-length biography that covers all facets of his subject and that emphasizes that they form part of one harmonious unity. I think that on the whole he has succeeded remarkably well. He gives an accurate picture of the man theorists of my generation both admired and loved. And not only of the physicist: Bohr’s relations with his family and in particular with his wife, an admirable woman, are drawn with sympathy and understanding. Blaedel’s sketch of the atmosphere at Bohr’s institute in Copenhagen... is true to life; it will raise nostalgic memories among those who, like myself, experienced it... [Blaedel] has produced a fitti...
Kærlighedsdigte
"Jeg ser nu dine Øjne, halvlukte, lange, Sireneblikket som i fordums Tid har gjort mig ofte svag og stundom bange – Jeg ser nu dine Øjne som druknet i en blaalig Dobbeltskygge: den ubevægelige Tropedags, der er eet eneste, et tungt bedøvende, og derfor lydløst Kog, og Skyggerne, de smægtende, violblaa i denne egne Laag – Jeg ser nu dine Øjne, der ikke mærker de tavse og de tunge Timers Tog, i deres blaa og dunkle Dobbeltskygge af Længsel og urolig Lykke underfundigt smile..." Christian Rimestads kærlighedsdigte tager os med tilbage til starten af det tyvende århundrede, hvor dansk poesi var midt i en rivende blomstringstid. Digtene emmer af skønhed, mismod og hengivenhed, og form såvel som indhold vidner om et stort digtertalent og et dybt hjerte. Bogen er oprindeligt udgivet i 1920. Christian Rimestad (1878-1943) var en dansk forfatter, digter, oversætter og litteraturkritikker. Han debuterede som digter i 1905 med digtsamlingen "Aftnerne" og skrev foruden flere digtsamlinger en lang række bøger om litteraturhistorie.

Brecht Unbound
"Except for the annual Brecht Yearbook, Brecht Unbound represents the first broad critical study of Brecht's works to appear in the United States since before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Intended to move beyond the ideological considerations that have informed so much secondary literature about Brecht, the book is a cross-disciplinary reassessment of important aspects of his work. Included are essays on his poetry, drama, theoretical writings, Brecht's influence on American film techniques and music, his relationship to and borrowings from Japanese No theater, and a comparison between aesthetic techniques in his writings and Stravinsky's "The Little Soldier.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Thaı̈s
Thaïs er berømt for sin skønhed, og hun lever et syndigt og overfladisk liv i Alexandria. Paphnuce, som har levet som eneboer i den egyptiske ørken, tager til Alexandria for at omvende hende til den kristne tro, men det viser sig at være svært at få adgang til de kredse, hun lever i. Paphnuce forklæder sig som en dandy og vinder Thaïs’ tillid. Mens han forsøger at vende hende til sin egen tro, bliver han mere og mere fortryllet af hendes skønhed. I takt med at hun bevæger sig væk fra syndens vej, bliver han mere og mere draget af de jordiske nydelser, han altid har nægtet sig selv. Anatole Frances bog ”Thaïs” er baseret på den sande historie om Sankt Thaïs, der levede i Egypten i det 4. århundrede. Bogen udkom første gang i 1890, og denne oversættelse er fra 1927. Anatole France (1844-1924) var en fransk digter, romanforfatter og journalist. Han er særligt kendt for sin satiriske fortælling ”Dronning Gåsefod” og modtog i 1921 Nobelprisen i litteratur.
