This book was released on 1998 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Am 18. September 1996 starb Bernhard Glienke, Professor für Neuere Skandinavistik an der Universität Kiel, im Alter von 55 Jahren. Er war einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der deutschsprachigen Neuskandinavistik, ein engagierter Lehrer und profilierter Forscher. Seinem Gedenken sind die Beiträge zur Ästhetik der skandinavischen Moderne gewidmet. Die Hauptforschungs- und Interessengebiete Bernhard Glienkes, nämlich die Literatur und Kultur des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, stehen im Zentrum des Buches: die Impulse der Spätromantik, der Moderne Durchbruch, die modernistischen Tendenzen bis zur Gegenwart und insbesondere die ästhetischen Innovationen der skandinavischen Großstadtliteratur. Die Ausrichtung auf den internationalen Kontext und die Bereitschaft zur interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit bestimmten Bernhard Glienkes Perspektive auf die Literatur und die Literaturwissenschaft. Diesen Blick auf die Ästhetik der skandinavischen Moderne teilt die Gedenkschrift.

Download or read book After the Sun written by Jonas Eika and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Relentlessly thrilling . . . an orgy of the unpredictable.” —New York Times Book Review “Like Thomas Pynchon taking on late capitalism. . . . surrealistic, granular in its details, and concerned with social entropy and desperate attempts at communion.” —Wall Street Journal From a major new international voice, mesmerizing, inventive fiction that probes the tender places where human longings push through the cracks of a breaking world. Under Cancún’s hard blue sky, a beach boy provides a canvas for tourists’ desires, seeing deep into the world’s underbelly. An enigmatic encounter in Copenhagen takes an IT consultant down a rabbit hole of speculation that proves more seductive than sex. The collapse of a love triangle in London leads to a dangerous, hypnotic addiction. In the Nevada desert, a grieving man tries to merge with an unearthly machine. After the Sun opens portals to our newest realities, haunting the margins of a globalized world that’s both saturated with yearning and brutally transactional. Infused with an irrepressible urgency, Eika’s fiction seems to have conjured these far-flung characters and their encounters in a single breath. Juxtaposing startling beauty with grotesquery, balancing the hyperrealistic with the fantastical—“as though the worlds he describes are being viewed through an ultraviolet filter,” in one Danish reviewer's words—he has invented new modes of storytelling for an era when the old ones no longer suffice.
