Fast Goes the Fleeting Time: The Miscellaneous Concepts of Time in Different Old Norse Genres and their Causes
This work is concerned with time reckoning and perception in Old Norse culture. Based on an analysis of various prose and poetic works, the author reconstructs the native images of time, as well as their changes in relation to social development, namely the arrival of Christianity and feudalism to the North. The primary sources are divided into three groups. The first group comprises works that contain traces of the original domestic understanding of time, the „Poetic Edda“, „Snorri’s Edda“, legendary and family sagas. The second group includes different types of texts, all of which adopt foreign concepts of time that spread to Iceland especially through various learned treatises and the influence of the Church. Lastly, it is examined how foreign time reckoning and perception affected the temporal structure of kings’ and bishops’ sagas included in the third group of sources.
Heilkundige Männer und Frauen und ihre medizinischen Behandlungsmethoden in der altnordischen Überlieferung
In der altnordischen Überlieferung finden sich viele Spuren medizinischen Wissens. Man nimmt an, dass die geschilderten fiktionalen Behandlungsmethoden der Heilkundigen weitgehend der damaligen Realität entsprochen haben. Denn trotz seiner abgelegenen geographischen Lage war Island nie vom übrigen Europa isoliert, sondern es herrschte während der Wikingerzeit zwischen Island, Norwegen, den britischen Inseln, Mittel- und Südeuropa bis Byzanz ein reger Handels-, Kultur- und Kenntnisaustausch. So konnten antike medizinische Vorstellungen von dem europäischen Festland nach Island gelangen und Spuren in den Sagas hinterlassen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit stehen aber nicht die Helden im Mittelpunkt, sondern diejenigen, die sich mit Wunden und Krankheiten auseinandersetzen müssen: Die heilkundigen Männer und Frauen.

Syntactic and FSP Aspects of the Existential Construction in Norwegian
The book discusses the information structure approach as introduced by the Prague linguistic circle and elaborated, in the first place, by Jan Firbas, one of the key persons in the field of functional sentence perspective (FSP), and further by Aleš Svoboda, Libuše Dušková or Martin Adam. It explores the Norwegian existential construction from the syntactic and FSP points of view but also discusses selected FSP aspects in general. The theory of functional sentence perspective has been attested to multiple languages such as Czech, English, German, Russian, French, Italian or Spanish. This book attempts, among other things, to attest its applicability to Norwegian, and thus demonstrate its universal nature, at least in the field of Indo-European languages.

Hannibal
"The great Carthaginian general, Hannibal, has never forgotten the defeat and humiliation of his father by Rome. Now he plans his revenge and the destruction of the old enemy. While Hannibal prepares for war, the young son of one of his most trusted military commanders goes on an innocent adventure with his best friend - and disappears. Captured by pirates, put up for sale in the slave market, one of the boys is sold as a gladiator, the other as a field slave. They believe they will never see home or family again. But their destiny - interwoven and linked with that of their Roman masters - is to be an extraordinary one. The devastating war unleashed upon Rome by Hannibal will last for nearly twenty years. It will change their lives - and history - forever."--Publisher.

When the Time Comes
In the years before the Second World War, a man throws a statue of the crucified Christ over a waterfall. Later, in Hitler's trenches, he loses his arms to an enemy grenade. The blasphemer, screaming in agony, presided over by Satan, who pours a cup of gall into his open mouth, is portrayed amid the flames of Hell in a painting by the parish priest that is mounted on a calvary where the two streets in the cross-shaped village meet. Thus begins When the Time Comes, Josef Winkler's chronicle of life in rural Austria written in the form of a necrology, tracing the benighted destiny of a community through its suicides and the tragic deaths that befall it, punctuated by the invocation of the bone...
