Det är ett ämne som sträcker sig över drygt femtio år, med start 1922. Fyrtio år senare föreläste han vid en jubileumskongress i Göteborg för Modersmålslärarnas Förening över ämnet ’En författare i sin tid’, om en tjugotvåårings storstilade planer på en internationell publicistisk karriär.1 I början av tjugotalet planerade han och den ännu yngre Victor Vinde att ge ut en tidskrift, Le Salon Littéraire som skulle hålla – som han skrev i ett brev hem – “publiken à jour med den modernaste världsitteraturen, musiken och konsten och de nyaste tankeriktningarna.” Man tänkte sig en enkät bland samtidens skarpaste europeiska hjärnor, och en impo- nerande rad av kända författare kontaktades.

I foråret var 40 nordiske forfattere æresgæster på bogmessen i Paris, Le salon du livre, som gav et par hundrede tusinde besøgende lejlighed til at stifte bekendtskab med nordisk litteratur. Begivenheden afspejler en vilje til at markedsføre og brande nordisk litteratur. Også i Belgien er der fokus på Norden, hvad der har givet anledning til en efterspørgsel efter videreuddannelseskurser for bibliotekarer. Vi har derfor på afdelingen for skandinaviske sprog på Mons universitet iværksat en række kurser, som i anden omgang har været udgangspunktet for en nærmere undersøgelse af receptionen af nordisk litteratur i Frankrig og fransktalende Belgien1. Henning Mankell får ofte tildelt rollen som pioneren, der banede vejen, og Stieg Larsson er så den forfatter, der anlagde motorvejen. Et stort antal af de bibliotekarer, vi har været i kontakt med, fremhæver da også Millenium-trilogien som banebrydende for læserinteressen.

  • Cahoots-Like Event at Rutgers Nordic Literature (Tossups Only) Packet by Jeremy Hixson
    CLEAR- Cahoots-Like Event at Rutgers Nordic Literature (Tossups Only) Packet by Jeremy Hixson 1. In one section of this work, a woman relates the belief of a Dr. Sass that before the fall, the world was flat and that Satan created the third dimension; in another part of this work, a Cardinal compares the God of the debased modern world to Louis Philippe, and tells a story in which Barabbas asks Peter to sell him the wine of the Last Supper. One section of this work ends with Kasparson revealing to Miss Malin Nat-og-Dag that he has killed Cardinal Hamilcar to take his place. In another section, a youth plots with his aunt, a Prioress, to rape Athena and obtain her promise to marry Boris; that section ends with the revelation that the Prioress had been a monkey all along. Consisting of such stories as “The Roads Round Pisa”, “The Monkey”, and “The Deluge at Norderney”, this is, FTP, what short story collection written by Isak Dinesen?

  • La Littérature Nordique N'existe Pas
    Une vivante hétérogénéité Article paru dans l'édition du 18.03.11(le Monde des livres) Petit panorama littéraire d'une entité géographique aux contours plus flous qu'il n'y paraît Autant le dire tout de suite, la littérature nordique n'existe pas. Il en va d'elle un peu comme de la politique nordique. Quand cela les arrange, les pays nordiques sont capables de faire preuve d'une belle unité de façade qui repose sur une vraie communauté historique, culturelle, voire sentimentale. Mais quand leurs intérêts divergent, l'unité se morcelle. Cet éclatement est heureux puisqu'il rend compte d'une belle vivacité. Au départ, la scène nordique se distingue par la présence écrasante de quelques grands noms qui ont depuis longtemps essaimé au-delà des frontières : August Stringberg en Suède, Henrik Ibsen en Norvège, Hans Christian Andersen au Danemark, l'épopée fondatrice de l'identité finlandaise, Kalevala, rassemblée par Elias Lönnrot , ou les sagas d'Islande, terre du Prix Nobel Halldór Laxness. Les auteurs nordiques, qui s'inspirent mutuellement grâce à la proximité de leurs langues (mis à part le finnois), bénéficient d'une belle caisse de résonance avec le prix de littérature du Conseil nordique, décerné pour la première fois en 1962. De nombreux écrivains devenus familiers des lecteurs français ont été récompensés par ce prix. Quand un écrivain local perce, il entraîne à sa suite d'autres auteurs, comme l'a fait le Norvégien Jostein Gaarder au milieu des années 1990. Les éditeurs norvégiens ont pu profiter du formidable intérêt suscité par son livre, Le Monde de Sophie , pour avancer d'autres auteurs.

Il mare è tutto calmo. Nel cuore è quasi un urlo di gioia. E tutto è calmo. Sandro Penna Questo numero di Settentrione è composto soprattutto dagli atti del convegno organizzato dal nostro dipartimento in occasione del Centenario dell`Indipendenza della Finlandia: due giornate che docenti e discenti dell`Italianistica di Turku hanno condiviso con tanti amici dell`Italia e della Finlandia. La breve lirica di Sandro Penna che introduce queste righe, seppure non dedicata alla Finlandia, può incarnare e dare voce alla sensazione di molti di noi davanti a un elemento naturale che accomuna i nostri due Paesi, le nostre due culture. Prima di venire a Turku, ho passato quasi un quarto di secolo in Ungheria, Paese che da cento anni non ha sbocchi sul mare: gli Ungheresi si consolano chiamando il lago Balaton “mare magiaro” e persino nella vicina Austria la lingua tedesca ci fa illudere che See non significhi solo lago, ma anche mare.
