Zugleich enthüllt er, wie sich Kunst, Literatur und religiöses Denken der Wikinger auf eine Art und Weise entwickelten, die in Europa einzigartig dasteht: eine ebenso unterhaltsame wie umfassende Darstellung einer Gesellschaft, die weitaus modernere Züge trägt, als man vermuten möchte. Anders Winroth schreibt gegen die gängigen Mythen an, untersucht jeden wichtigen Aspekt dieses aufregenden Zeitalters und stellt so den Innovationsgeist und schieren Wagemut der Wikinger dar, ohne ihr destruktives Erbe zu beschönigen.

They also explain the thought process behind using Murakami's words without crediting him: UPDATE 1: In a statement made to Kotaku, the devs at Ackk Studios says the lines are intentionally there stating, " YIIK does intentionally contain allusions to After Dark by Haruki Murakami! That book was an influence on the game and we wanted to pay tribute to it." However, Murakami is not credited in the game whatsoever.Īckk Studios also stated that there are "subtle homages" to other authors that inspired the team, such as Chuck Palahniuk, Thomas Pynchon, and David Mitchell. This will also clarify how these works contributed to the project." This is, as reported by Kotaku, "for people interested in seeing our influences and references. UPDATE 2: Ackk Studios has now stated there is a plan to insert a work cited section in the credits. “We first heard about the book of fairy tales written by Althea Proserpine in The Hazel Wood, and witnessed the fallout from them in The Night Country. “This inventive, enchanting collection reads like the fairy tales of old, hushed stories passed woman to woman, before the Grimms came and wiped away all the blood.” - Laura Ruby, author of Thirteen Dorways, Wolves Behind Them All I loved these.” - Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble “Lush and deliciously sinister fairytales to be consumed as greedily as Turkish delight or any fairy fruit. “Rich with bloodshed, metamorphosis and inevitable comeuppance, written with the absolute assurance of a master storyteller summoning an audience to the fireside on a winter’s night, Albert’s book is uniquely transporting and discomfiting, a length of shining fabric flecked with glass that sparkles as it cuts.” - The Times Literary Supplement (UK) Albert’s rich and tightly focused collection forms the core of the mythology created in her novels, and her fans will be thrilled at this further glimpse into that world.” - Booklist, starred review “The writing is as spare and precise as poetry, connected to the darker, edgier elements of fairy-tale conventions.

Her performance as the swan is particularly beautifully captured in words, allowing her grace and particular style to be understood by young readers. As Pavlova’s story continues, Snyder captures the way that she created a home for herself when Russia changed and the importance of her performing around the world. Through the words you can feel the tremble of desire, the longing for a different life and then the drive to learn and perform. Snyder’s poetry is just as delicate and strong as Pavlova herself. The book goes all the way through to her death, where she still longed to perform and dance until the very end. She became the most famous ballerina of all time, helped by her tireless work to bring dance and music to those who had never experienced it. Her body was considered all wrong for ballet, since she was so thin and not athletically built. At age 10, she was admitted and studied dance. She auditioned twice for the Imperial Ballet School, turned down the first time because she was too young. Then her mother takes her to the ballet one night and Anna’s life is transformed by a desire to dance. It begins with her childhood where she grew up poor, the daughter of a laundress in Russia. This is a poetic and radiant look at the life of Anna Pavlova, prima ballerina.

In “Nirvana,” the narrator tends to his wife, Charlotte, who has been temporarily paralyzed following a bad flu. “Fortune Smiles” is a collection of six short stories by Adam Johnson which recounts the stories of people in unusual situations in life. Meg finally looks at me, her blue eyes shining. They’re wearing white, which only adds to the surreal nature of the entire thing. What does she see? A pretty young blond woman with a baby boy in her arms. As she studies the photo, I study her face. It doesn’t cease to cause pain, but it’s not a constant low hum in the back of my mind. Better to let their ghosts rest, to let the memory fade. The others were lost.” I mourned that loss for a long time, but perhaps it’s for the best. “This is one of the few pictures I have of them. Meg moves until her arm presses against mine. I shift to include her in this painful walk down memory lane. “Don’t you think the time for that has long since passed?” “Yes, but that doesn’t make it right.” She wraps her arms around herself. “Would you believe that I wanted to spare us both pain?” Not if you’ve been spinning out this plan for revenge.” “But you didn’t really forget them, Hades.

I prefer, I admit, to be lost immediately to a world, but I am still impressed that at no point during the book was I thrown out of the world, and that, by the end, I was even marking favorite lines, mostly things that applied aptly to the world of my WIP, but also this wonderful moment of rare recognition within the genre of medieval fantasy: “Old age?
