    Middelaldertårne og gammel dansk historie i Tallinn. Jugend-facader i Riga. Skyskrabere og rebelsk bohème-stemning i Vilnius. Tre storbyer i tre forskellige lande, der deler Baltikums dybe skove og kysten med gyldne strande mellem sig. Gå på marked og køb kantareller og bær. Tag med ud til de uendelige moser og se på storke. Og nyd storbyernes livlige torve over et glas hjemmebrygget øl. Turen Går Til Estland, Letland & Litauen dækker Baltikums hovedstæder, kystlinjen og en lang række attraktioner inde i landene. Bogens forfatter, journalist Karin Larsen, øser desuden ud af sin viden om politik, kultur, mad og historie i de tre lande. Om forfatteren: Karin Larsen er journalist med speciale i Østeuropa.

    Dorte er femten år og bor i en landsby i Litauen. Her drømmer hun ikke om det store eventyr, men om det konkrete og nære: bagerens søn Nikolaj, lidt mindre fattigdom, og at hendes far stadig var i live.Derfor slår hun også til, da hun bliver tilbudt en gratis rejse til Stockholm, hvor hun vil få arbejde på en restaurant. Selv om det undrer hende, at afrejsen skal foregå i smug, og selv om de to mænd, der kører bilen, ikke er særlig venlige, kan hun næsten ikke fatte, at hun, Dorte, har været så heldig."Et glas mælk, tak" er en roman om håbløshed og drømme og om at finde styrken i sig selv til at overleve - også det der er allermest umenneskeligt.

    Nach der Niederlage bei Tannenberg (1410) und dem Ersten Thorner Frieden (1411) begann, folgt man der älteren Forschung, der Niedergang des Deutschen Ordens. Dabei war der Konflikt mit Polen-Litauen nicht entschieden und die Zeit zwischen 1411 und 1422 geprägt von Schiedsverfahren, Waffenstillständen und erneuten kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen. Wie die Ordensbrüder in dieser Zeit der fortwährenden Unsicherheit die eigenen Handlungsspielräume wahrnahmen, untersucht Mats Homann, indem er einen akteursbezogenen Ansatz entwickelt und anwendet. Auf diese Weise wird deutlich, wer oder was aus der Perspektive des Ordens dazu geeignet war, die eigenen Geschicke zum Besten zu wenden.From the perspective of the Teutonic Order, the period under study (1411-1422) can be understood as a period of searching for a solution to an unresolved situation - especially in the conflict with Poland-Lithuania. The brothers of the Order did not assume that they were in an unchangeably bad position or in decline. Rather, they perceived the question of the long-term development of the Order's Prussia as undecided. However, due to its close observation of the political environment, the Order had to notice that no other actor was in a position to bring about this solution (e.g. by an arbitration award). As a consequence of this assessment, from 1420 onwards there are increasing considerations to shape one's own actions more actively and to show less consideration for other actors.

  • af Antanas Sileika
    214,95 kr.

    A delightful and evocative memoir by Leacock Medal nominee Antanas Sileika.The acclaimed novelist who wrote this book wasn't always Antanas. Growing up in the immigrant hub of Weston, Ontario--with a childhood of Lithuanian summer camp, folk dancing, and booze-soaked Christmases--Sileika was known to friends and teachers as Tony. It wasn't until he entered university and began to understand his deep attachment to his heritage that he shed the anglicized name and became Antanas Sileika, the writer who straddles two worlds.In animated, entertaining prose, Sileika recounts his time as a young writer in Paris, the dramatic events surrounding Lithuanian independence and the fall of the Soviet Union, and his growing involvement in Lithuania's political and cultural spheres. Proud of his heritage but unafraid to explore its darker chapters, he touches in this book on the Holocaust and the gulag, as well as the new threats facing Eastern Europe today. Laced with humour and wry observations, The Death of Tony is a tribute to the immigrant experience, a primer for Canadian readers on the history and culture of an underrepresented nation, and above all a sensitive exploration of this author's bifurcated identity.

    This book illustrates that the idea of a 'national' literature is profoundly problematic. Chapters on boundaries and crisscrossing show how a nation and its writers' works do not exist in isolation from their history. Stressing migration and (inter)cultural dialogue, authors explore how the characters in the texts establish a sense of belonging both within the context of migrations and within the context of Lithuania since its independence. The final series of essays in this book discuss Lithuanian literature abroad, that is, in translation.

    Volume II delves into the revolutions of France, Europe, and Haiti, with particular focus on the French Revolution and the changes it wrought. The demarcation between property and power, and the changes in family life, religious practices, and socio-economic relations are explored, as well as the preoccupation with violence and terror, both of which were conspicuous aspects of the revolution. Simultaneous movements in England, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, and Poland-Lithuania are also discussed. The volume ends with the Haitian Revolution and its impact on neighboring countries, revealing how the revolution was comprised of several smaller revolutions, and how, once the independent black State of Haiti was established, an effort was made to fulfill the promises of freedom and equality.

    What do we mean by Jewish space? How does it come into being, what qualities does it possess, and how does one experience it? Does this specific space play a role in Jewish-Christian encounters? How are shared Jewish-Christian spaces created in small towns often understood as shtetls? The volume Space as a Category for the Research of the History of Jews in Poland-Lithuania 1500-1900 answers those questions using examples from early modern Poland-Lithuanian and its successor states. Eight different authors examine various issues that were substantial for the Jewish experience in the most significant Jewish community in the world. The range of contributions includes the authors' multiple methodological approaches in their research, both historical and sociological, and architectural practices. The compilation of the articles also breaks chronological boundaries by presenting texts from the early modern era and the early 19th century. Examples from medieval Jewish Cracow and early modern small towns in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Warsaw, Gdansk/Danzig, and Berlin analyzed in this volume are shedding new light on the Jewish experience in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its successor states. The book is exciting for anyone interested in Jewish history and Jewish-Christian relations.

    It's 1951 and the servants of Stalin are closing in on the occupied nations of eastern Europe. As the Red Army tightens the net, Greta - best and bravest of freedom fighters - is told to escape to the West and undertake a dangerous mission.Greta's task is to find a missing girl: the precious daughter of a partisan general who was sent into exile in the final days of the war.But the so-called Free World is no place for vulnerable young refugees. Europe is in ruins, the old Empires are dying, and a spectacular cast of spivs, gangsters and rival intelligence agencies are fighting over the scraps.Crossing the Iron Curtain will require nerves of steel as Greta faces down the French mob, ex-Nazis, Soviet spies, all the glamour and temptation of Paris and ultimately, her own demons.The Exile is the stunning prequel to The Partisan, Patrick Worrall's critically-acclaimed debut, which introduced the world to the force of nature that is Greta. This is her white-knuckle ride into the black heart of postwar Europe - a terrifying world in which allies and enemies are impossible to tell apart.________Praise for The Partisan'Fast-paced, intriguing and deeply atmospheric' Tom Bradby'Remarkedly assured debut ... the advent of a real talent...One to watch' Sunday Times'Impressive ...

    This book includes twelve articles that present new research on the Finnic and Baltic languages spoken in the southern and eastern part of the Circum-Baltic area. It aims to elaborate on the various contact situations and (dis)similarities between the languages of the area. Taking an areal, comparative, or sociolinguistic perspective, the articles offer new insights into the grammatical, semantic, pragmatic, and textual patterns of different types of predicates or nouns or consider the variation of grammatical categories from a typological perspective. The qualitative analyses find support in quantitative data collected from language corpora or written sources, including those representing the less studied varieties of the area.

  • af Lukasz Cybulski

    This volume is one of scarce studies of religious literature of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth conducted by scholars from both Poland and Lithuania. What makes this endeavour important is mainly the will to overcome the frontiers and strains of the modern world that encourage exploring separateness instead of the realities of deep mutual interdependency. Lukasz Cybulski and Kristina Rutkovska analyse secular and religious writings of secular authors as well as those belonging to the clergy and religious orders. Their main interest lies in exploring the different genres of early modern Polish and Lithuanian sermons and novels, and in tracing this heritage to its social and literary context through the works' material presence in manuscript form and in print. Other papers in this volume give insights into the origins of vernacular translations of the Holy Scriptures and the controversies surrounding them, as well as into the written testimonies of religious devotion and conversions. The aim has been not only to confront different kinds of texts and experiences, but to situate this heritage in its social and confessional context.

    The present volume is an alphabetically arranged lexicon of mythological terms of Baltic mythology. The terms are analyzed in their historical and ethnological context and in perspective of their etymology. They were preserved in numerous chronicles, usually written in non-Baltic languages, namely Latin, German, Old Russian, and Old Polish. Their second important source is hidden in Lithuanian and especially Latvian folk songs called 'dainas'. Portions of both primary texts and folklore are included within the individual entries. The recently formulated interpretations of Lithuanian and Latvian mythologists are also taken in account, to confront them with older opinions and with the results of etymological analysis. The proposed etymological explanations of the analyzed terms should serve to differentiate a common Indo-European heritage from the purely Baltic forms, and finally from external mutual interferences with Slavic, Iranian, Germanic and Fenno-Volgaic traditions.

  • - Forfædrenes aften
    af Adam Mickiewicz
    197,95 kr.

    BOGEN HAR ALLEREDE BLANDT ANDET DETTE PÅ OMSLAGETS BAGSIDE:Dziady. Forfædrenes aften (1823-1860) er et stort versdrama. Handlingen finder sted i Litauen og Polen - og Rusland, nemlig for de seks særlige digtes vedkommende i slutningen af Tredje del. Centralt i dramaet står den særlige dziady-fest, der er en blanding af gamle hedenske traditioner og katolsk allesjælesfejring. Men de gamle unionslande Litauen og Polens situation under den russiske anneksion siden 1795 spiller også en stor rolle. Det gælder ikke mindst de unge studerende i Litauen, hvis nationale og frihedsorienterede aktiviteter blev hårdt undertrykt af den russiske anneksionsmagt. Mange af disse unge, deriblandt Mickiewicz selv, blev deporteret til Rusland. I de seks særlige digte i slutningen af Tredje del retter Mickiewicz en bidende kritik mod Tsar-Rusland og de russiske tsarer og deres folk, og i tilegnelsesdigtet "Til mine russiske venner" hylder han de russere, der kæmpede for bedre forhold, men det slutter med, at Mickiewicz forudser, at hans russiske venner har vænnet sig så meget til ufriheden, at de - som tilvænnede lænkehunde - vil bide den hånd, der vil prøve at løse deres lænker.

  • - Fortællinger fra Litauens og Preussens historie
    af Adam Mickiewicz
    147,95 kr.

    "Grażyna" og "Konrad Wallenrod" (1823 og 1828) er historiske versfortællinger af den polske nationaldigter Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855). - Handlingerne finder sted i Litauen og det gamle baltiske (endnu ikke fortyskede) Preussen og udspiller sig i den periode, hvor Korsridderordenen forsøgte at underlægge sig disse lande. - Grażyna er en litauisk fyrstinde, der i en kritisk situation spiller sin mands rolle. Konrad Wallenrod er en litauer, der som barn blev bortført af korsridderne og opdraget hos dem. - Mickiewicz var etnisk polak, men født og opvokset i Litauen, som indtil 1795 var i union med Polen, men derefter sammen med det østlige Polen var annekteret af Rusland. I årene 1824 til 1829 levede han i tvunget eksil i Rusland. - Handlingen i de to fortællinger er både spændende (til tider virkelig barsk) og rørende, med både krig og kærlighed, og læseren får på denne måde et helt særligt indblik i det baltiske områdes brogede historie.
