CONTEMPORARY DANISH PROSE AN ANTHOLOGY DANISH SHORT STORIES BY DR. F. J. BILLESKOV JANSEN Professor of Danish Literature in the University of Copenhagen Among Danish short story writers there are six classic authors, six pillars of the art of narration, and all the contemporary short story writers whose dates are to be found at the end of this book are based on them. It is therefore natural to introduce this anthology with some words on the predecessors of its authors in Danish prose−writing. It is due to Steen Steensen Blicher (1782−1848) that the Danish short story has struck such deep roots in the soil of our country. In his early youth Blicher received his first poetical inspiration from his reading of Ossian, whose poems he translated into sensitive Danish prose (1807−9), and in the Jutland moors he found a sombre reflection of Ossian's Scotland. But when, in 1824, Blicher began to write short stories, his characters were not misty and vague in the style of Ossian, but human beings of flesh and blood; he told stories of Jutland peasants of the past and the present, interpreting their tragic−heroic attitude to life. It was in his own native region that Blicher made, as Walter Scott had done, his felicitous poetic discovery, the tradition of the Jutland peasantry. And it was not without connection with this decouverte that in 1845 Meir Aron Goldschmidt (1819−87) commenced upon a series of stories depicting the domestic life of Danish Jews. In these stories, Jewish customs and traditions, Jewish thinking, and Jewish characters are seen from within, and described in a language which reveals and veils at the same time. Once and for all Goldschmidt's tales have stamped the Danish short story with the impress of their intimate art. In the years after 1835 Hans Christian Andersen (1805−75) recreated the new artistic fairy tale, and a

DORTHEA BECK JENSEN BERETNINGER FRA DET GAMLE SKOVSHOVED ERINDRINGSSERIEN »FOLK FORTÆLLER« NR. 5 UDGIVET AF FORENINGEN DANMARKS FOLKEMINDER AUGUST 1980 Dorthea Beck Jensen: Beretninger fra det gamle Skovshoved. 1. oplag. 1000 eksemplarer. August 1980. ® Foreningen Danmarks Folkeminder. ISBN 87-87897-46-6 Sat med English Times og trykt hos Midtsjællands Bogtrykkeri A/S, Tølløse. Forlagsredaktion: Henrik Ingemann. Forord Dorthea Beck Jensen er født i 1903 og har levet hele sit liv i Skovshoved. Hendes familie har i mange generationer ernæret sig som fiskere fra Øresundskysten. Blev i 1932 gift med fiskekommissionær Peter Jensen. Når Dorthea Beck Jensens baggrund tages i betragtning kan hun med rette sige, at hun er en af de sidste »rigtige« skovsere. En mennesketype, der er kendt gennem mange litterære beskrivelser. En skovser er et be­ greb. Men den romantiske forestilling om skovserne har ikke bund i virkeligheden. Bl. a. derfor har Dorthea Beck Jensen skrevet sine erin­ dringer. Beretninger fra Skovshoved er historien om et lille samfund præget af stor homogenitet og stærke familierelationer - endog i en sådan grad, at udenforstående ofte opfattede skovserne som lidt »underlige«.

  • Linjebeskrivelse - Linje 176 - Fra Cityringens Åbning I 2019
    Nyt Bynet Linjebeskrivelse - linje 176 - Fra Cityringens åbning i 2019 Movia, Linjebeskrivelse - linje 176, Nyt Bynet Forslag til den lokale busbetjening Om halvandet år åbner den nye Cityring, som løfter hele den kollektive transport i hovedstadsområdet op i international topklasse. I 10 år har anlægsarbejdet stået på, og mange har dagligt mærket, hvor- dan trafikafviklingen har måttet tilpasse sig. Men om under to år tages Cityringen i brug, og borgerne i hovedstadsområdet får en forbedring af den kollektive transport, som der er hårdt brug for. Når Cityringen åbner, bindes den tæt sammen med bus, tog og eksisterende metrolinjer i én sammen- hængende transportorganisme. Byen rykker tættere på omegnen, og omegnen rykker tættere på byen, når mange af de mest benyttede rejseveje får kortere rejsetid og den samlede kapacitet i trans- portsystemet stiger. Tog og metro er hovedpulsårerne, mens busserne er de livsnødvendige forbindelser, som sørger for at passagererne kan komme hurtigt og direkte til og fra metro og tog og ud i alle forgreninger. Så når Cityringen åbner i 2019, skal bussernes funktion også passes til, så der sikres størst muligt samspil og dermed bedst muligt grundlag for udvikling, vækst og beskæftigelse i hele hovedstadsområdet. Bussernes nye funktion i hovedstadsområdet er samlet i: Nyt Bynet. Nyt Bynet omfatter det strategiske net bestående af A-, C- og S-busser såvel som de lokale buslinjer. Hvordan A-, C- og S-busserne skal sikre sammenhæng er besluttet primo 2017 ved vedtagelse af Mo- vias Trafikplan 2016 i Movias bestyrelse på baggrund af politisk høring i alle 45 kommuner og 2 regio- ner i hovedstadsområdet og på Sjælland.

  • Orientering Fra Grundejerforeningen December 2019 Sendt Pr
    Udsendt den 10. december 2019 Orientering fra grundejerforeningen december 2019 Sendt pr. mail til medlemmer af Skovshoved – Klampenborg Grundejerforening med kendt mailadresse Bakken På nogle områder går det fremad med at forbedre forholdene for Bakkens naboer, stille og roligt, men dog fremad. På andre områder går det lidt mere trægt. Støj Bakken har gjort en god indsats i den forløbne sæson med at overholde den af Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune udstedte miljøgodkendelse og de heri tilladelige grænser for støj. At vi i grundejerforeningen ikke er tilfredse med miljøgodkendelsens grænseværdier, er noget andet, men det er den ramme, Bakken skal overholde. Og det gør Bakken – med ganske få mindre og i forhold til grænseværdierne ubetydelige overskridelser. Miljøgodkendelsen, der er relativ ny i sin nuværende form, giver mulighed for generelt at støje mere end i den tidligere miljøgodkendelse. Udover en generel højere tilladt støjgrænse giver den nye miljøgodkendelse også mulighed for at afholde koncerter på Friluftsscenen 4 gange om året uden støjbegrænsning. Det kan være årsagen til, at flere af jer nogle gange har oplevet støjgener i den forløbne sæson. Vi vil i denne forbindelse medvirke til, at I på et så tidligt tidspunkt som muligt underrettes om, hvilke datoer disse koncerter vil blive afholdt på i 2020. På nuværende tidspunkt regner vi med, at en sådan underretning kan gives i marts for hele sæsonen. Vi har i samarbejde med Gentofte Kommune i juni 2017 klaget over miljøgodkendelsens indhold for så vidt angår de tilladelige støjgrænser. Klagen har nu ligget i klagenævnet i 18 måneder – og vi venter stadig på en afgørelse. Til- og frakørsel samt parkering Tilkørslen til Bakkens parkeringsplads giver ofte problemer i form af lange kødannelser på Klampenborgvej.

    CARL NIELSEN STUDIES V O L U M E I V • 2009 CARL NIELSEN STUDIES V O L U M E I V • 2009 Edited by David Fanning, Michael Fjeldsøe, Daniel Grimley, and Niels Krabbe (editor-in-chief) Copenhagen 2009 The Royal Library CARL NIELSEN AND THE DANISH TRADITION OF STORY-TELLING By Colin Roth Presenting an interdisciplinary paper is not unlike putting up a tent – it’s important to establish secure moorings for the poles fi rst, but diffi cult to get them to stand in balance with each other, even more diffi cult to throw the tarpaulin over the lot without knocking some over or getting them stuck in the wrong place.1 Only when the tent cover is in place, properly supported by its poles, does the structure become recognisable as a tent at all, making sense as a coherent idea – so there’s a protracted and sometimes challengingly tangential pathway towards the success you hope you’ll eventually achieve when all your ropes are pegged and your fl aps zipped. I hope you’ll bear with me while I try to put this tent up.2 The new edition of Carl Nielsen’s works has been a source of great interest to us all as its volumes have been published, one after the other. But one of them was a horrible shock when it arrived. It contained really dreadful stuff, quite awful. That was the score of Aladdin. Of course, I’m not saying that the editing of Aladdin was shocking! On the contrary, David Fanning’s presentation of the material is excellent – indeed, the shock was so great precisely because his presentation was so thorough.
