First published in 1861 ‘Tales of all Countries’ is Anthony Trollope’s first collection of short stories and includes some of his most-loved stories set all around the world. Works include ‘La Mère Bauche’ set in the Pyrenees, the Spanish tale of ‘John Bull on the Guadalquivir’ and the story of feisty, independent Englishwoman Sabrina Dawkins as she visits the wonders of Egypt. There are many more delightful Trollope tales to discover in this collection of some of his best short stories.Anthony Trollope (1815 – 1882) was a Victorian writer and author of 47 novels. He also wrote an autobiography, short stories and plays, travel articles, reviews and lectures. A prolific writer, he made no secret of the fact that money was his motivation for writing – an admission which raised eyebrows among his literary contemporaries at the time. The amount of works Trollope authored are testament to his belief in hard work. His first successful novel was The Warden followed by its sequel, Barchester Towers. The Chronicles of Barsetshire are perhaps his most well-known series of novels, though many of his works have been adapted for TV and radio, starring many familiar faces such as Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Bill Nighy and Tom Hollander. Alongside his literary career, Trollope also worked for some time for the Post Office and is credited with the introduction of the iconic post box to Britain. A memorial to Anthony Trollope was unveiled in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1993.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Negotiating Pasts in the Nordic Countries är en samling fallstudier som spänner från medeltid till nutid, och berättar om hur det förgångna har blivit meningsfullt och relevant för efterkommande människor. När man ser på historien blir man delaktig i en process full av önskan att förstå okända förutsättningar och en vilja att utveckla samförstånd - inte bara med historien utan också med ens samtid. "Historien" är ingen enkel "gårdag", utan snarare ett flertal gångna skeenden, som tidvis står i konflikt och ibland kompletterar varandra. Författarnas texter är inlägg på det internationella tvärvetenskapliga forskningsfältet kring kollektiva minnen som har vuxit sig stort under de senaste decennierna. Studier av minneshögtider, festivaler, utställningar och museiverksamhet, historiska filmer och berättelser ökar stadigt. Termer som "socialt" - eller "kollektivt" minne visar på intresset för hur det förflutna - eller bilder av det - konstrueras och byggs upp, men också krossas och förkastas. I den här boken lär vi mer om hur processen av selektion, tolkning och tradering av mening fungerar - hur vi människor förhandlar om och med historien.

Negotiating Pasts in the Nordic Countries is a collection of case-studies spanning from medieval to present time, of how the past has been made meaningful and relevant to people in later periods. As one looks at history one becomes part of a process filled by a desire to come to terms with unknown conditions, to develop consensus, not only with the past, but also with one´s contemporaries. ´History´ is not a simple ´yesterday´, but rather a number of pasts, which are sometimes in conflict, sometimes harmoniously complementing one another. The authors contribute to the international interdisciplinary field of collective memory which has grown large over the last decades. Studies of commemorations, festivals, exhibitions and museums, historical films and narratives are becoming numerous. Terms such as ´social´ or ´collected´ memory demonstrate the interest in how the past – or images of it – are constructed and built, but also demolished and rejected. In this book we learn more about the process of selecting, interpreting and passing on meaning – how we are negotiating the past.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Despite their long tradition of stable parliamentary democracy, the Nordic countries have not gone unaffected by the profound changes taking place in Europe. In recent years, some scholars have claimed that executive-legislative relations are undergoing fundamental changes in the Nordic countries and elsewhere. More powers are suggested to be transferred to political executives at the expense of parliaments, while powers inside government cabinets are increasingly concentrated in the hands of prime ministers. This volume seeks to address these challenges to the Nordic parliamentary systems. Due to the alleged strong reliance on power-sharing in these countries between the executive and the legislature on the one hand, and between the prime minister and his/her cabinet ministers on the other, the Nordic countries should be particularly resistant to such trends. Yet, the authors find that parliamentary government in the Nordic countries appears to be undergoing significant changes. It seems therefore that the Nordic parliamentary systems are now at an important crossroads. The evidence presented in this volume, however, yields a rather mixed picture of where the development is going.

How did governments in the past act to stop the spread of venereal disease? Did legislation reflect medical opinion, and how did it treat the interests represented by women’s or homosexual organizations? How can similarities and differences in national legislation be explained? In Medicine, morality, and political culture the celebrated historian Ida Blom analyses the political culture of five welfare states – the three social-democratic states of Scandinavia, the conservative German state, and the liberal British state – with a view to understanding how relations between the individual citizen and the state vary. Pointing to important differences between the Scandinavian countries, the book charts the interaction of medicine and sexual morality, indicating the influence – or lack of influence – of medical opinion, and the impact of debates about gender, sexuality, and religion on policies intended to combat venereal disease. Ida Blom identifies the far-reaching consequences of these policies, be they fresh solutions or repeats of past political decisions, and establishes their effectiveness in hindering the spread of disease.

More Than a Carpenter 2,000 years ago Jesus entered the human race. He was a member of a poor family, part of a small Jewish community, and a resident of one of the smallest countries in the world. Most of his 33 years on earth he was a carpenter, following in the profession of his step-father. His last three years were spent in public ministry. Ask a group of people "Who is Jesus Christ?" and they will usually respond that he was a great religious leader. I agree, but I believe He was much more. Who did Jesus claim to be? The distinct claims of Jesus to be God eliminate the popular idea that he was just a good moral man or a prophet who said lots of profound things. Often such conclusions are passed off as the only ones acceptable to scholars. The trouble is that many people agree, never seeing the error of such reasoning. Who people believed Jesus to be was fundamentally important to him. To say the things Jesus said about himself and to claim the things he claimed, there's no way we can conclude that he was just a good moral man or a religious prophet. For example... He forgave sins--something only God can do. "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.' Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, '....Who can forgive sins but God alone'" (Mark 2:5-10). He claimed equality with God. "I and the Father are one, " Jesus said. When the religious leaders prepared to stone him to death, Jesus asked, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?" They answered, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God" (John 10:30-33). He claimed to be the only way to God. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). These are hardly claims an ordinary person would make How should we respond to Jesus' claims? Author C.S. Lewis once believed that Jesus was just a good, moral teacher. Then he came to understood the logical conclusion of the claims Jesus made, and experienced a complete change of heart. Afterwards he wrote, "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on the level with the man who says he's a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse" (from Mere Christianity). Then Lewis adds this about Jesus: "You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing...

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Ten years have passed since the start of the monetary union. The 2009 report of the Economic Policy Group analyses the economic record of the countries that joined at the start and how it has been affected by the common currency and common monetary policy. The areas covered are monetary policy, fiscal policy, financial integration, foreign trade and foreign direct investment. Denmark, Sweden and the UK have chosen not to join the monetary union. The report also compares their economic record to that of the euro countries, and assesses if the record would have been different had the three outsiders joined the monetary union from the start.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -In her irresistible new novel, Sunday Times No 1 bestselling author Victoria Hislop shines a light on the questionable acquisition of cultural treasures and the price people - and countries - will pay to cling on to them. Of all the ancient art that captures the imagination, none is more appealing than the Cycladic figurine. An air of mystery swirls around these statuettes from the Bronze Age and they are highly sought after by collectors - and looters - alike. When Helena inherits her grandparents' apartment in Athens, she is overwhelmed with memories of the summers she spent there as a child, when Greece was under a brutal military dictatorship. Her remote, cruel grandfather was one of the regime's generals and as she sifts through the dusty rooms, Helena discovers an array of valuable objects and antiquities. How did her grandfather amass such a trove? What human price was paid for them? Helena's desire to find answers about her heritage dovetails with a growing curiosity for archaeology, ignited by a summer spent with volunteers on a dig on an Aegean island. Their finds fuel her determination to protect the precious fragments recovered from the baked earth - and to understand the origins of her grandfather's collection. Helena's attempt to make amends for some of her grandfather's actions sees her wrestle with the meaning of 'home', both in relation to looted objects of antiquity ... and herself.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -tdOne of the most significant challenges facing the international community today is how to secure stability and rebuild societies emerging from civil wars. International peace-building missions have been deployed in a range of countries emerging from civil war. The empirical record of international efforts to advance peace has been mixed. While some post-war countries have made significant strides towards peace and democracy, other countries have experienced a return to war. In yet other cases the outcome has been a partial implementation of peace where new conflicts have been generated in the process. In Building Peace, Creating Conflict? a group of experts discuss the conflictual dimensions of peace-building. The authors specialize in various aspects and cover several themes such as frozen conflicts and unending peace processes ; the efficiency of peacekeeping operations in promoting democracy, and individual and collective dimensions of justice and reconciliation.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -At the same time as Denmark and Sweden were locked in a battle for supremacy in northern Europe, several other countries around Europe engaged in struggles for dominance. One conflict that had profound impact on much of the Continent as well as Scandinavia was the fight for hegemony between France and Austria after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. In Flattering Alliances we learn about how those clashes dragged the Scandinavian kingdoms into European top-level politics, and forced them to take part in the diplomatic game, constantly negotiating risks and profits. The historians Peter Lindström and Svante Norrhem discuss the role of diplomacy, how the Great Powers bound allies to their side, and how the Scandinavian countries and their political elites responded. Much of the diplomatic strategizing centred on family alliances, patronage, and economic politics something quite different from what we expect from today s official negotiations. This book will be invaluable reading for anyone with an interest in international relations in the early modern period, particularly in Europe, as the authors take a fresh look at the history of diplomacy and the nature of state formation. Svensk text om boken: Samtidigt som Danmark och Sverige kämpade om herraväldet i norra Europa, stred länderna runt om i Europa om det politiska och ekonomiska övertaget. En konflikt som hade stor inverkan på hela kontinenten och även Skandinavien var maktkampen mellan Frankrike och Österrike efter den Westfaliska freden 1648. I Flattering Alliances kan vi läsa om hur dessa sammandrabbningar drog in de skandinaviska kungadömena i den europeiska toppolitiken. Här drevs de att delta i det diplomatiska spelet, där vinster och risker ständigt omförhandlades. Historikerna Peter Lindström och Svante Norrhem diskuterar i sin bok betydelsen av diplomati. Hur knöt stormakterna de allierade till sin sida? Och hur svarade den skandinaviska makteliten? Mycket av den diplomatiska strategin under denna tidsperiod fokuserades på allianser inom släkter, socialt beskydd och ekonomisk politik något helt annat än vad vi förväntar oss från dagens officiella förhandlingar. Flattering Alliances är oumbärlig läsning för alla med intresse för internationella relationer i tidigmodern tid.
