One of USA Todays 5 Books Not to Miss

One of Forbes Best Summer Reads for Those Stuck Inside Working Remotely

One of the LA Times 21 New and Classic Books to Keep You in Touch with the Natural World

Part H Is for Hawk, part The Soul of an Octopus, The Book of Eels is both a meditation on the worlds most elusive fish--the eel--and a reflection on the human condition

Remarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the eel question Where do eels come from? What are they? Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether? Even today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still dont understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives. They remain a mystery.

Drawing on a breadth of research about eels in literature, history, and modern marine biology, as well as his own experience fishing for eels with his father, Patrik Svensson crafts a mesmerizing portrait of an unusual, utterly misunderstood, and completely captivating animal. In The Book of Eels, we meet renowned historical thinkers, from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud to Rachel Carson, for whom the eel was a singular obsession. And we meet the scientists who spearheaded the search for the eels point of origin, including Danish marine biologist Johannes Schmidt, who led research efforts in the early twentieth century, catching thousands upon thousands of eels, in the hopes of proving their birthing grounds in the Sargasso Sea.

Blending memoir and nature writing at its best, Svenssons journey to understand the eel becomes an exploration of the human condition that delves into overarching issues about our roots and destiny, both as humans and as animals, and, ultimately, how to handle the biggest question of all: death. The result is a gripping and slippery narrative that will surprise and enchant.

Описание:

Following his English language literary debut Ernst J nger - A Portrait, author Lennart Svensson concentrates his focus on another controversial character, Richard Wagner. In Richard Wagner - A Portrait Svensson offers a well-rounded biography of Richard Wagner's life and work. As a long-term admirer of Wagner's music, Svensson is also unafraid to look at the controversial aspects of the composer's life - including his relations with Friedrich Nietzsche and the influence his music would come to have in German Nationalist circles and in the work of the Italian poet d'Annunzio.

In addition to relating the personal history of Wagner in the biography, Svensson also examines the compositions themselves, such as:

  • The Fairies
  • Rienzi
  • The Flying Dutchman
  • Tannhauser
  • Lohengrin
  • Wieland the Smith
  • Tristan and Isolde
  • The Master-Singers of Nuremberg
  • The Ring of the Nibelung
  • Parsifal

Svennson's new biography on Wagner also provides an in-depth analysis of the themes that Wagner chose to work with in his compositions; forbidden love, Teutonic mythology, the Grail saga, and tragedy.

Lennart Svensson holds a BA in Indology and his previous works include Antropolis and Camouflage. Ernst J nger - A Portrait was his debut in English.

Описание:

Borderline: A Traditionalist Outlook for Modern Man is an ambitious attempt to create a synthesis of everything. Borderline aims to unite Man with God, Action with Being, East with West, and Mind with Matter. Borderline successfully fuses ethics with ontology, the detail with the whole, body with soul, and reason with intuition.

It is the integration of the traditional with the modern, the active with the inactive, and the spirit with the symbol. In Borderline author Lennart Svensson shapes the Traditionalist and Perennial world-view into a form which is suitable for contemporary living, fusing together the cultural spheres of art/religion and science, into a holistic and spiritual philosophy. Borderline tries to rectify the rift between the famed "two cultures" of C. P. Snow which have constructed a false dichotomy between the technological-scientific and the humanistic-philosophical fields of research. Borderline also contains chapters on Plotinus and symbolism, a criticism of scientific reductionism, and a look into "the metaphysics of physics." The book also features essays on the integral world-view of Jung and Nietzsche, along with Rudolf Steiner's Christology and notes on "an ethics based on ontology." The study also presents some conceptual aspects of artists like T. S. Eliot, Caspar David Friedrich, and Edith SOdergran - the Finnish-Swedish poet who was "more Nietzschean than Nietzsche himself."

Описание:

Reforma protestante y tradici n intelectual cristiana aborda la tarea de interpretaci n no solo desde las ra ces patr sticas del temprano pensamiento protestante, sino tambi n desde su relaci n con el pensamiento medieval. Extendi ndose hasta finales del siglo XVII, la obra se ocupa tambi n de c mo la Reforma misma, junto a la tradici n que la precede, fue recibida en la cultura universitaria del naciente protestantismo

Est claro que la Reforma representa un hito crucial en la historia intelectual de Occidente no s lo por su influencia sobre el futuro, sino tambi n por su peculiar modo de hundir las ra ces en el pasado. Ahondar en la relaci n entre el humanismo renacentista y la Reforma, la relaci n de ambos movimientos con tradiciones intelectuales precedentes, y sacar conclusiones de este amplio entramado de relaciones es el objetivo de este libro.

Se trata de una obra de erudita de alto valor acad mico, pensada y escrita para el mbito universitario. Interesar a todo el que busque orientarse en la interpretaci n del crucial hito de la Reforma Protestante en la historia del cristianismo, y su influencia en el mundo acad mico.
