Описание: In the lyric-epic poem "Arnljot Gelline," we have Bj rnson in his first, purely Norse, period. The hero is an outlaw who joins the forces of King Olaf Trygvason and falls with him in the Battle of Stiklestad for the cause of Christ against the older gods. The story is told in a series of vivid episodes, each with a mood and metre of its own. To a reader unable to appreciate the stern reserve power of Norse poetry, such a piece will seem bare in subject and abstruse in style, but to him who catches the tone it will be rich in inspiration. The alternations of gloom and radiant vision are like the changing lights of a broken storm on the North Sea.Dr. Payne has followed the original in rhythm and rhyme, with the result that he conveys to the reader much of its atmosphere. He is most happy where the verse is freest and least rhyme is required. Here his phrasing has great directness and dignity, together with a sweep that carries one along breathlessly. In the more set passages, the inversions of the English are at times disturbing. Fortunately the great moments come where the translator is most completely submerged in the scenes and emotions of the poem. A compact introduction and notes with full quotations from the "Heimskringla" and Bj rnson's other sources make the volume attractive alike to the general reader and the scholar.-"Scandinavian Review," Volume 6

Описание: "The Fisher Maiden" was written in 1867 and 1868, and was published simultaneously in Norway and Germany. The popularity of the story is sufficiently demonstrated by the fact that it has appeared in four German and in two English translations, the present being the third. The characters are, perhaps, less ideal than those of his peasant stories, and the style throughout indicates that the author has entered upon a new era in his literary development. His aim here is to show how irresistible is the power of innate vocation and natural talent, and to vindicate the theatre as a place not only of amusement, but also of instruction, against the unjust criticisms of the clergy. In the weird poem, in the eleventh chapter, on the young viking, Mr. Bj rnson depicts, in strangely profound sentences, his own career, his early struggles, and the victory he so quickly gained. Indeed, as Bj rnson said to me in 1872, "The Fisher Maiden" is Bj rnson himself, and in the young viking he has given, in a few enigmatic strokes, a picture of both the heroine and the author. Nowhere does Mr. Bj rnson's patriotism burst forth in purer and nobler strains than in the short poem that follows soon after that on the young viking. It is all aglow with love and pride and confidence and hope, and is a perfect mirror of the poet's feelings and aspirations in the midst of his great success. The poems in this volume are translated by Augusta Plesner and Frederika Richardson, with the exception of the one at the end of chapter iv., beginning, "Ah, sweet is Love's first meeting " and the one in chapter ix., beginning "Joy now is kindled," both of which are by Auber Forestier.

Описание: Professor Anderson has made himself the interpreter of the Norse genius to the nation which promised to become in some of its sections a western Norway. He has eminent qualifications for this great work in his vital as well as scholarly comprehension of a world of thought and feeling to which we are in a measure alien, and in his ready command of our own tongue. A genuine enthusiasm impels him to the discharge of a task among the most important that ever devolves upon the man of letters. Carlyle was the first to excite a popular interest in the great history of thought and action which have been the fertile soil of Norse legend and literature. Odin and Thor are familiar figures since his strong hand drew their massive features with a few bold, inspiring strokes. Professor Anderson laid the foundation of what, we hope, will be a comprehensive rendering of the Norse masterpieces into English by reducing the vast, chaotic Norse mythology into order, translating its noble conceptions, gods and men, into myths of such beauty that every English mind must recognize their natural majesty. A rich view of native poetry runs through Norse life, and makes even its severe simplicity fit material for the finest literary art. Bj rnson is the greatest mind which Norway has produced for centuries. He is a man of intense activity, the creative impulse impelling him to many forms of literary expression, and to the more aggressive work of religious and political reform. "Synn ve Solbakken" was his first novel; the work of his early manhood. It appeared in 1857, and was immediately recognized as the work of a master.It is a simple story of Norse life told with directness and simplicity which seems born of the very nature of the quiet, secluded existence which it portrays. Its almost meager outlines betray the touch of a bold, sure hand. and spring from no poverty of imaginative power or lack of descriptive faculty. Out of a few common elements the old story of human weakness built up into strength by the power of human love is told again, with a freshness that will be a new revolution to the novel reader weary of intense situations and exaggerated sentiment. As a picture of life in Norway it is eminently worthy of careful study. Prof. Anderson has apparently done his work as a translator with commendable repression of himself. The other stories in the series will be awaited with great interest.-New Outlook, Volume 24 1881]

Описание:

This book describes how smart cities can be designed with data at their heart, moving from a broad vision to a consistent city-wide collaborative configuration of activities. The authors present a comprehensive framework of techniques to help decision makers in cities analyse their business strategies, design data infrastructures to support these activities, understand stakeholders' expectations, and translate this analysis into a competitive strategy for creating a smart city data infrastructure. Readers can take advantage of unprecedented insights into how cities and infrastructures function and be ready to overcome complex challenges. The framework presented in this book has guided the design of several urban platforms in the European Union and the design of the City Data Strategy of the Mayor of London, UK.

Описание: Based on a true story about Franz Kafka

Inspired by a true story, Kafka and the Doll recounts a remarkable gesture of kindness from one of the world's most bewildering and iconic writers. In the fall of 1923, Franz Kafka encountered a distraught little girl on a walk in the park. She'd lost her doll and was inconsolable. Kafka told her the doll wasn't lost, but instead, traveling the world and having grand adventures And to reassure her, Kafka began delivering letters from the doll to the girl for weeks.

The legend of Kafka and the doll has captivated imaginations for decades as it reveals the playful and compassionate side of a man known for his dark and brooding tales. Kafka and the Doll is a testament to living life to the fullest and to the life-changing power of storytelling.
