Sinossi

In "Essays on Scandinavian Literature," Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen masterfully explores the rich tapestry of literary movements within Scandinavia, presenting a nuanced analysis of prominent authors, works, and cultural backdrops through which they emerged. The essays are characterized by Boyesen's eloquent prose, insightful critique, and an engaging narrative style that combines scholarly rigor with accessibility. Readers will encounter a range of themes including nationalism, romanticism, and the unique social dynamics that have shaped Scandinavian literature, alongside profiles of iconic figures like Henrik Ibsen and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, thereby situating their works within broader European literary contexts. Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, a renowned Norwegian-American author and critic, draws from his own experiences as a scholar, novelist, and translator in writing this seminal work. Having immigrated to the United States, Boyesen navigated the cultural landscapes of both Scandinavia and America, providing him with a unique lens through which to view literature's role in society. His profound understanding of the cultural currents of his time enabled him to articulate the significance of Scandinavian literary contributions to the global literary scene effectively. "Essays on Scandinavian Literature" is a vital read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and culture. Boyesen's insightful observations make this collection indispensable for literary scholars, students, and avid readers alike who seek to deepen their appreciation for the intricate narratives and characters that populate Scandinavian literature. This work not only enhances one's literary knowledge but also offers a broader understanding of the socio-historical influences that continue to resonate in today's literary discourse.

    A wide-ranging history of rickets tracks the disease’s emergence, evolution, and eventual treatment—and exposes the backstory behind contemporary worries about vitamin D deficiency. Rickets, a childhood disorder that causes soft and misshapen bones, transformed from an ancient but infrequent threat to a common scourge during the Industrial Revolution. Factories, mills, and urban growth transformed the landscape. Malnutrition and insufficient exposure to sunlight led to severe cases of rickets across Europe and the United States, affecting children in a variety of settings: dim British cities and American slave labor camps, moneyed households and impoverished ones. By the late 1800s, it was one of the most common pediatric diseases, seemingly an intractable consequence of modern life. Starved for Light offers the first comprehensive history of this disorder. Tracing the efforts to understand, prevent, and treat rickets—first with the traditional remedy of cod liver oil, then with the application of a breakthrough corrective, industrially produced vitamin D supplements—Christian Warren places the disease at the center of a riveting medical history, one alert to the ways society shapes our views on illness. 
     
    
    Sweeping and engaging, Starved for Light illuminates the social conditions underpinning our cures and our choices, helping us to see history’s echoes in contemporary prescriptions.

    Welcome, seekers of truth! 
    This 619-page book intends to reintroduce pleasure as an innate guide to living a healthy and happy life—a simple yet powerful assertion based on empirical data, which stands up to the strictest scrutiny. 
    Along this journey, we will explore evidence throughout the historical evolution of philosophy up to the time of Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher who laid the foundations for a philosophy of nature. More specifically, it's the only philosophy that distinguishes pleasure as the inherent human guide to a healthy and happy life. 
    Author Haris Dimitriadis spent 15 years fervently researching the ancient Greek philosopher's teachings, a journey that he believes radically improved his worldview. In this detailed study, the author proposes that fear of pleasure characterizes contemporary society. Dimitriadis writes with open-hearted enthusiasm for his subject and believes that Epicurean philosophy has the power to change lives. With determination and perseverance, you too will find the happiness to which you are entitled. All the "goods" required for happiness are present in the natural world yet regularly overlooked or unappreciated. 
    This book is a labor of love, a vehicle by which to share my personal experience with you. Despite its technocratic nature, it is undeniably a deposition of my soul, brimming with emotion, pleasure, and pain throughout my quest for joy. I am pleased to present an empirically sound, well-documented philosophy of life that serves as a refreshing alternative to the prevailing idealistic culture. 
    And now, the caveat: happiness is indeed a choice. You are privileged to find it out through the lines of this book.
