Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2025Saga emotions
by Gareth Lloyd Evans, Brynja Þorgeirsdóttir, Carolyne Larrington
Focusing particularly on historically oriented sagas, Saga emotions identifies and examines a range of emotions from across Old Norse-Icelandic saga literature. Each chapter begins with a discrete emotion term, such as reiði (anger), gleði (joy), or the peculiarly Old Norse víghugr (killing-mood), exploring its usages within the broad saga corpus, and focusing on its contextual meanings and narrative purposes. The contributions explore the specifics of the lexical terms used for different emotion states and offer in-depth case studies that consider how various emotions manifest within particular examples of saga literature. The book offers the emotional granularity lacking in current studies of Norse emotion and serves as an essential foundation for future research and study into emotional depiction in Old Norse-Icelandic saga literature.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2025Arctic state identity
Geography, history, and geopolitical relations
by Ingrid A. Medby
This book sets out to answer what it means to hold a formal title as one of the eight 'Arctic states'; is there such a thing as an Arctic state identity, and if so, what does this mean for state personnel? It charts the thoughtful reflections and stories of state personnel from three Arctic states: Norway, Iceland, and Canada, alongside analysis of documents and discourses. This book shows how state identities are narrated as both geographical and temporal - understood through environments, territories, pasts and futures - and that any identity is always relational and contextual. As such, demonstrating that to understand Arctic geopolitics we need to pay attention to the people whose job it is to represent the state on a daily basis. And more broadly, it offers a 'peopled' view of geopolitics, introducing the concept and framework of 'state identity'.

April 2022Fritz, the Gorilla
Biography of a Fascinating Ape
by Jenny von Sperber
When Jenny von Sperber first met Fritz, the gorilla didn’t let her out of his sight. He was already over 50 years old then, but he was still extremely charismatic. One thing matters for the journalist: she wants to find out everything about Fritz’s life. Born in 1963, he was captured in the wild and came from Cameroon to Germany in 1966. At that time, apes were still regarded as a curiosity in zoos. When a ban was declared on the wild gorilla trade, Fritz was already a father of many youngsters. This fascinating gorilla-family saga not only recounts the eventful life of Fritz, but also shows the development in European zoos in handling wild animals. Nowadays, things have certainly improved. But there are still questions, for example, what does it do to us when we marvel at our closest relatives behind glass? And is it even still current to confine apes ... was it ever?

July 2011Die schönsten isländischen Sagas
by Rolf Heller, Arthúr Björgvin Bollason
Wikinger, Abenteurer, tapfere Helden, Ausgestoßene und Geächtete – vielfältig sind die Gestalten, deren Geschichten und Schicksale in den berühmten Isländersagas erzählt werden. Die unterhaltsamen Geschichten aus dem alten Island erzählen von starken, mutigen und waghalsigen Männern und Frauen, die sich vor über tausend Jahren dort niederließen. Sie hatten Fehden und Konflikte zu bestehen und ehrenhafte Heldentaten zu begehen. Und mußten nicht nur gegen Wind, Wetter und die rauhe Natur, sondern auch gegen verfeindete Wikinger und Gesetzeslose ankämpfen … Dieser Band versammelt die berühmtesten und schönsten Isländersagas – unvergleichliche literarische Zeugnisse eines fernen Landes in einer fernen Zeit.
