The Nordic Languages
The handbook is not tied to a particular methodology but keeps in principle to a pronounced methodological pluralism, encompassing all aspects of actual methodology. Moreover it combines diachronic with synchronic-systematic aspects, longitudinal sections with cross-sections (periods such as Old Norse, transition from Old Norse to Early Modern Nordic, Early Modern Nordic 1550-1800 and so on). The description of Nordic language history is built upon a comprehensive collection of linguistic data; it consists of more than 200 articles written by a multitude of authors from Scandinavian and German and English speaking countries. The organization of the book combines a central part on the detailed chronological developments and some chapters of a more general character: chapters on theory and methodology in the beginning and on overlapping spatio-temporal topics in the end.

An Old Norse Biblical Compilation
One of the great achievements in the field of religious letters and literature of medieval Scandinavia was the appearance of Bible translations. The present study examines the origin and the sources of a West-Scandinavian translation of great parts of Genesis and Exodus from the first decades of the fourteenth century. It sheds light upon how the sources were drawn on and how scholastic theology may have influenced the work, and thus it offers new insights into the process of transmitting the Biblical message into European vernaculars.
The Christianization of Iceland
In this first historical study of High-Medieval Iceland to be published in English, Dr Vesteinsson investigates the influence of the Christian Church on the formation of the earliest state structures in Iceland, from the conversion in 1000 to the union with Norway in 1262. In the history of mankind states and state structures have usually been established before the advent of written records. As a result historians are rarely able to trace with certainty the early development of complex structures of government. In Iceland, literacy and the practice of native history writing had been established by the beginning of the twelfth century; whereas the formation of a centralised government did not occur until more than a hundred years later. The early development of statelike structures has therefore been unusually well chronicled, in the Icelandic Sagas, and in the historical records of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Based on this wealth of material,The Christianization of Iceland is an important contribution to the discussion on the formation of states.
The Viking Age in Caithness, Orkney, and the North Atlantic
"The Viking Diaspora presents the early medieval migrations of people, language and culture from mainland Scandinavia to new homes in the British Isles, the North Atlantic, the Baltic and the East, in the period known as the Viking Age as a form of 'diaspora'. It concentrates on the connectedness between migrants and both their homelands and regions within the diaspora, particularly through language, naming customs and in traditional stories and poems. Rather than the movements of armies, it considers the movements of people, and on the linguistic and cultural effects of those population movements. Providing a broad survey of the Viking Age and its aftermath, the book draws evidence from a wide range of sources that will interest students and academics"--

Lupta mea. Dansând în întuneric
Proaspăt absolvent de liceu, Karl Ove se mută într-un sat de pescari din nordul îndepărtat al Norvegiei pentru a lucra ca profesor. Nu se dovedește însă interesat de slujba în sine – sau de orice altă slujbă. Singurul lui scop este să economisească bani și să înceapă să scrie. Totul merge bine, dar, pe măsură ce nopțile devin mai lungi, viața lui ia o întorsătură mai întunecată. Consumul de alcool îi provoacă episoade de amnezie completă, tentativele repetate de a-și pierde virginitatea se sfârșesc umilitor și, spre marea lui nefericire, ajunge să se îndrăgostească de una dintre elevele sale de treisprezece ani. Iar în tot acest timp, umbra tatălui p...
