Med den här frågesportboken kan du en gång för alla visa vem som kan mest om hobbitar, alver och orker. »Rid nu, rid nu! Rid mot Gondor!« J. R. R. TOLKIEN [1892-1973] är en av litteraturens stora sagoberättare och har kommit att betraktas som den moderna fantasygenrens skapare. Med böcker som The Hobbit [1937] och The Lord of the Rings [ursprungligen publicerad i tre volymer 1954-1955] har han öppnat en värld som lockat miljontals läsare världen över och genererat hängivna Tolkien-fans decennium efter decennium. I början av 2000-talet kom Peter Jacksons filmatiseringar av Tolkiens böcker, som gjorde enorm internationell succé och nådde rekordnivåer både vad gäller antal biobesökare och det samlade antalet Oscars-nomineringar. TOLKIENPODDEN startades 2017 av Adam Westlund De La Torre, Elisabet Bergander och Daniel Möller. Podcasten har i skrivande stund fler än 80 avsnitt bakom sig och har inga planer på att sakta ner tempot. I och med Den inofficiella Sagan om ringen-quizboken kommer trions samlade expertis för första gången till uttryck i bokform, i en quizbok som inget Tolkien-fan får missa!

Swedish funerary poetry for animals 1670-1760

Dumb beasts in hallowed tombs

Ovid's remarkable and endlessly fascinating Metamorphoses is one of the best-known and most popular works of classical literature, exerting a pervasive influence on later European literature and culture. A vast repository of mythic material as well as a sophisticated manipulation of story-telling, the poem can be appreciated on many different levels and by audiences of very different backgrounds and educational experiences. As the poem's focus on transformation and transgression connects in many ways with contemporary culture and society, modern research perspectives have developed correspondingly. Metamorphic Readings presents the state of the art in research on this canonical Roman epic. Written in an accessible style, the essays included represent a variety of approaches, exploring the effects of transformation and the transgression of borders. The contributors investigate three main themes: transformations into the Metamorphoses (how the mythic narratives evolved), transformations in the Metamorphoses (what new understandings of the dynamics of metamorphosis might be achieved), and transformations of the Metamorphoses (how the Metamorphoses were later understood and came to acquire new meanings). The many forms of transformation exhibited by Ovid's masterpiece are explored—including the transformation of the genre of mythic narrative itself.
