Balkan är ett gränsland där väst möter öst och den kristna världen möter det muslimska. I århundraden har olika religiösa och språkliga grupper existerat sida vid sida först under 1800-talet började motsättningarna användas för att nå politiska mål, något som är lika aktuellt idag.<br/><br/>Orsakerna till de många konflikterna har ofta sökts i de kulturella och etniska olikheterna inom området. Författarna till The Balkans in Focus är dock eniga om att sådana tolkningar är alldeles för enkla och i många fall resultatet av stereotypa tankemönster.<br/><br/>Antologin är resultatet av ett tvärvetenskapligt projekt där forskare bildat ett nätverk som studerar den kulturella och politiska utvecklingen i före detta Jugoslavien. De medverkande forskarna kommer från Skandinavien, Tyskland och Bosnien-Herzegovina, Kroatien, Serbien och Slovenien.

Faber 90th Anniversary edition of Plath's best-known collection.

The poetry of Erik Axel Karlfeldt was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1931. Words from his poems live on in the conversations and texts of our time, sometimes without everyone knowing the source. In this book, Karlfeldt himself speaks through his poems, accompanied by beautiful photographs. The texts in the book give insight into Karlfeldt's life from his childhood on a farm in Dalarna to his success as a writer and secretary at the Swedish Academy. Images from Karlfeldt's own time interplay with photos from environments that are forever associated with him, not least his well-known garden in Sjugare.
