Northbound: Travel, Encounters & Constructions, 1700-1830
ISBN: 9788779342644 / Angielski / Twarda / 411 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book a group of 16 scholars explore the changes that have taken place in the conception of the Nordic North during the 18th century, changes that were a symptom of an ambivalent understanding of the North vis-a-vis the South. From antiquity to Montesquieu, the North could be considered a Dystopia and a Utopia - a barbaric margin of Europe, but also an area of freedom, natural strength, and robust women who were any man's equal. The book, drawing on travel accounts of the period, is thus historical, but is conceived under the optics of modern multiculturalism and cultural clashes. The...

At some time in the late 9th century, a Norwegian seafarer by the name of Ohthere [Oht-her-e] told the West Saxon king Alfred of his voyages along the coasts of Norway and Denmark.

Bevers Saga
ISBN: 9789979819684 / Angielski / Miękka / 399 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bevers Saga is a riddarasaga (medieval prose romance) translated from the late-twelfth century Anglo-Norman epic poem Boeve de Haumtone. The earliest manuscript witness of Bevers saga is a fragment from the middle of the fourteenth century; the two main medieval manuscripts are dated to c. 1400 and c. 1470. Only manuscripts copied in Iceland have survived, but there is as yet not conclusive evidence as to whether the translation was made in Iceland or Norway, nor is there any strong evidence that could help in narrowing down a date. A separate and significantly different version of the saga...

Identity, Interest and Action: A Cultural Explanation of Sweden's Intervention in the Thirty Years War
ISBN: 9780521026031 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers an original combination of cultural and narratological analysis with an empirical study of identity and political action. A powerful critique of rational choice theory, it also provides a solution to the historiographical puzzle of why Sweden intervened in The Thirty Years' War. Arguing that people act for reasons of identity, more fundamental than reasons of interest, Erik Ringmar shows the Swedish intervention to have been an attempt on behalf of Swedish leaders to gain recognition for themselves and their country.
