Mytologi

Examines ancient Egyptian artifacts from a shrine of the Minoan-Greek goddess Eileithyia.

The mythology and folklore of England is as old as the land itself, rich in symbolism and full of tales of quests, ghosts and witches, romantic heroines, and noble outlaws. Who hasn't heard of the master sorcerer Merlin, Robin Hood and his merry men, or the legendary monster Grendel? Beginning with the great Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf, English Myths explores the early legends of post-Roman England, many of which blend history and fantasy. The book goes on to examine the rich seam of Arthurian and romantic legends first told in the medieval era, before looking at English folk heroes and the beasts, witches, and ghosts that have haunted the land.

Nach kurzen schauspielerischen Versuchen widmet er sich als Dramatiker dem Naturalismus. Er lebt zeitweilig in Berlin und Paris, bevor er 1901 endgültig nach Stockholm zurückkehrt. Psychotisch veranlagt, neigt er Okkultismus und Alchimie zu und durchlebt schwere Krisen, die er vor allem in seinem Roman »Inferno« verarbeitet und entwickelt einen zunehmend mythisch inspirierten expressionistischen Stil. Strindberg hinterlässt über sechzig Dramen und je zehn Romane und Novellensammlungen als er 1912 als bedeutendster Dichter Schwedens an Magenkrebs in Stockholm stirbt.

An offbeat odyssey into the freezing heart of the modern NorthlandsThe Scandinavian Aggressors chronicles Rowdy Geirsson's tireless quest to uncover the secret history of the early 21st century's resurgence of authentic viking activity known as the Modern Viking Movement. Along the way he meets modern viking luminaries such as Trond "Troll-Breath" Trondsen, who successfully raided a historic monastery's gift shop in England; Björn Svensson, who habitually recited classic rock lyrics at the site of each of his infamous berserkings; and Ingrid Törnblom, who founded an elite warrior sisterhood that drew comparisons to the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Samurai of feudal Japan, and perhaps most flattering of all, the Jedi Knights of the Intergalactic Republic. Encounters with additional Neo-Norse individuals augment the journey, revealing long-hidden details about the slaying of a creepy troll in Beowulf's homeland, the brewing of craft beer from within pagan burial mounds, and the suffering of horrendous digestive problems amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of Iceland's remarkable landscape.Topical, informative, and highly insightful, The Scandinavian Aggressors not only provides essential reading for anyone with even a remote interest in the Modern Viking Movement, but also spins a darn good yarn about the fragility of the Scandinavian condition."Funny as hell! Kind of like Rolling Stone for the Álfablót crowd." -Scott Oden, author of A Gathering of Ravens and Twilight of the Gods"The Scandinavian Aggressors is the visionary account of a silenced movement that shocked the Nine Worlds. A thoroughly Scandifuturistic chronicle of Neo-Norse extravaganza, so burlesque and Baudrillardian that you will thoroughly doubt your own sanity by the end of it. Rowdy's most shocking exposition of Boreal apocrypha yet." -Eirik Storesund, errant Old Norse philologist and host of the Brute Norse podcast

Early in the twenty-first century a series of viruses killed eighty percent of the world's population. Famine loomed.In New Zealand there was plenty of food but too few people to process it. The surviving city folk therefore fled to the countryside where they provided labour to the remaining farmers in return for a share of the food they helped produce. As a result the country's towns and cities were abandoned.Into this vacuum came the invading Vandiers, so numerous and wealthy they dominated the small Kiwiland population whose traditions, culture, religion and language they despised.The Fable of Flitcroft Point is set in a typical Kiwiland village where, in 2177, the land-grabbing Vandier government has taken village land for its own purposes. The Kiwilanders, angry and frustrated, want their land back. But can their feeble protest succeed against the overwhelming power of central government?
