Fredrik Cederborgh (1784-1835) har kallats den svenska realismens fader. Han tillhörde en välbärgad bergslagssläkt och kom efter en stockholmskarriär som ämbetsman, tidningsutgivare och boktryckare att återvända till hemtrakten i form av bruksägare. Hans erfarenheter från Stockholmsåren låg till grund för vad som brukar räknas som höjdpunkten i hans produktion: Ottar Trallings levnadsmålning (utgiven i fyra delar 1810-1818). Gunnar Ekelöf har kallat den ”vår första verkligt läsbara roman”. Det är en berättelse i den satiriska och pikareska stilen om ynglingen Ottars dråpliga äventyr i den kungliga huvudstaden som den tog sig ut under tidigt 1800-tal. Även en nutida läsare riskerar att smittas av såväl humorn som den otyglade berättarlusten.Inledning av Horace Engdahl. Kommentarer och ordförklaringar av Ljubica Miočević.

Det här är den stora biografin över en svensk kvinnolegend - Elise Ottesen Jensen. Gunilla Thorgren skildrar en orättvist bortglömd person inom den svenska feminismen, men också en makalös och kontroversiell gestalt.Född i Stavanger lämnade hon tidigt det högkyrkliga hemmet, sökte sig till arbetarrörelsen och blev journalist. Hon mötte den av polisen eftersökte svenske syndikalisten Albert Jensen, flydde med honom till Danmark under första världskriget, utvisades till Sverige, och inledde där vid 1920-talets början arbetet med att organisera svenska kvinnor i den syndikalistiska rörelsen. Tillsammans med Moa Martinson utvecklade hon kvinnosidan i Arbetaren till ett feministiskt kamporgan. 1926 - fyrtio år gammal - påbörjade hon sitt sexualupplysningsarbete. Hon reste landet runt, agiterade för en förändrad lagstiftning, lärde kvinnorna att använda preventivmedel och 1933 startade hon RFSU.I kampen för att ge kvinnor rätt att bestämma över sin egen kropp gjorde Ottar avgörande insatser för det svenska samhällets utveckling. Privat drabbades hon dock av smärtsamma katastrofer, hon mötte den stora livsavgörande kärleken, och sveks av den.

The therapeutic state is a pervasive set of practices and ideologies which have been ever present in the twentieth century. This book of international contributors is about bringing into question many of these reified, dogmatic ideologies.

Classifications, diagnosis and the treatments have been shown to be ineffectual for many populations across the globe, but still we persist with redundant, defunct methods and techniques. Why? Because, as some would suggest, we have nothing better. The danger that the state is taking away one of the last confidential spaces for people to allow thoughts to come to them has never been greater.

This book invites readers to think beyond the state and its therapeutics. It will be relevant to many professions, professionals, service users, families, survivors and organisations; and those who are looking for something different. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Psychotherapy & Counselling.

Since its inception, the Nobel Prize for literature has given a very public voice to some of the world''s greatest writers, and their responses to the honor--their acceptance speeches--have often been epochal. From the famed call to arms by William Faulkner to the multicultural song of Derek Walcott, from 1903''s Bjornstjerne Bjornson to 1999''s Gunter Grass, this collection of 28 speeches traces the ideals of the artists and the selection committee itself throughout the 20th century. Included are an introduction to each of the writers chosen, an abridged copy of the speech or lecture and a bibliography of works in English.

In Breaking van Gogh, James Grundvig investigates the history and authenticity of van Gogh’s iconic Wheat Field with Cypresses, currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Relying on a vast array of techniques from the study of the painter’s biography and personal correspondence to the examination of the painting’s style and technical characteristics, Grundvig proves that the “most expensive purchase” housed in the Met is a fake.

The Wheat Field with Cypresses is traditionally considered to date to the time of van Gogh’s stay in the Saint-Rémy mental asylum, where the artist produced many of his masterpieces. After his suicide, these paintings languished for a decade, until his sister-in-law took them to a family friend for restoration. The restorer had other ideas.

In the course of his investigation, Grundvig traces the incredible story of this piece from the artist’s brushstrokes in sunlit southern France to a forger’s den in Paris, the art collections of a prominent Jewish banking family and a Nazi-sympathizing Swiss arms dealer, and finally the walls of the Met. The riveting narrative weaves its way through the turbulent history of twentieth-century Europe, as the painting’s fate is intimately bound with some of its major players.

A taught, high-concept thriller that humanizes the men and women behind military espionage.

James Grundvig’s Dolphin Drone takes us into the complex underworld of global terrorism with razor-sharp plot twists, remarkable characters, and fascinating insight into the technological advancements of the US Navy.

Using dolphin sonar-tracking technology, Ex-Navy SEAL Merk Toten stumbles of freshly laid Iranian sea mines while conducting surveillance on two US ships that were hijacked by Somali pirates on the Strait of Hormuz. This discovery occurs on the same day that a fake intelligence report draws three US drones away from the Persian Gulf. Toten investigates the parallel events to uncover a new super-terrorist group made up of a network of Somali warlords, Islamic assailants, Yemen-based terrorists, and ISIS sympathizers.

When Merk Toten and the beautiful CIA Operative Jenny Myung King discover a plot by this new terrorist organization to bomb New York Harbor, the duo must race against the clock to stop the devastating attack.

Dolphin Drone is a tense thriller that combines cutting-edge marine technology, high-stakes undercover operations, and complex and frightening political underpinnings.
