The Reception of Charles Dickens in Europe
The Reception of Charles Dickens in Europe offers a full historical survey of Dickens's reception in all the major European countries and many of the smaller ones, filling a major gap in Dickens scholarship, which has by and large neglected Dickens's fortunes in Europe, and his impact on major European authors and movements. Essays by leading international critics and translators give full attention to cultural changes and fashions, such as the decline of Dickens's fortunes at the end of the nineteenth century in the period of Naturalism and Aestheticism, and the subsequent upswing in the period of Modernism, in part as a consequence of the rise of film in the era of Chaplin and Eisenstein. It will also offer accounts of Dickens's reception in periods of political upheaval and revolution such as during the communist era in Eastern Europe or under fascism in Germany and Italy in particular.
Den joggande rökaren
En dag bestämmer sig Karl Fredrik för att försöka vilja sluta röka. Han inser att det kommer att bli svårt att helt ge upp lasten som ger honom livslust, men han ska åtminstone bli varse de negativa hälsoeffekterna. Det första som påverkas när man röker är ju flåset – därför utvecklar han metoden ”mikrojogging”. Han börjar springa regelbundet, men aldrig mer än 14 minuter. "Den joggande rökaren" är en samling reflektioner och anteckningar från olika joggingpass i alla typer av väder. Under löpturerna tänker Karl Fredrik på tillvaron, relationer, saker han kämpar med och det som ger honom aptit på livet. Boken är en en varmt mänsklig motvikt till hälso- och träningshetsen, men också en personlig hyllning till löpning som kostnadsfri och demokratisk aktivitet. Karl Fredrik Mattsson är copywriter, författare och joggande rökare. Han väckte stor uppmärksamhet med konstprojektet ”Kungaexperimentet”, där han förfalskade ett antal enkronor som hånade kungen.
Mein Weg, meine Zeit
Der Elmshorner Autor und Vater von vier Töchtern ist über sechzig Jahre mit seiner Frau Eva verheiratet. Er blickt zurück auf gemeinsame Lebensabschnitte und nimmt die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse aus seinem eigenen Erleben durchaus kritisch in den Blick. Zu seinen Erinnerungen gehören auch die Menschen seines Umkreises. In kleinen sympathischen Skizzen weiß er ihr Bild einzufangen. In der Summe aller Betrachtungen und Erinnerungen entsteht ein Bild seines Weges durch ein Jahrhundert Deutschland, von den 20er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, über die Nachkriegszeit und die Jahrzehnte des Aufbaus in den Wohlstand bis zu unserer Gegenwart im neuen Jahrtausend mit ihren rapiden gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen in der global gewordenen Welt.

For Whose Benefit?
This book takes the reader on a journey, navigating the enigmatic aspects of cooperation; a journey that starts inside the body and continues via our thoughts to the human super-organism. Cooperation is one of life’s fundamental principles. We are all made of parts – genes, cells, organs, neurons, but also of ideas, or ‘memes’. Our societies too are made of parts – us humans. Is all this cooperation fundamentally the same process? From the smallest component parts of our bodies and minds to our complicated societies, everywhere cooperation is the organizing principle. Often this cooperation has emerged because the constituting parts have benefited from the interactions, but not seldom the cooperating units appear to lose on the interaction. How then to explain cooperation? How can we understand our intricate societies where we regularly provide small and large favors for people we are unrelated to, know, or even never expect to meet again? Where does the idea come from that it is right to risk one’s life for country, religion or freedom? The answers seem to reside in the two processes that have shaped humanity: biological and cultural evolution.
