Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how the people of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania confronted a military superpower and achieved independence in the Baltic "Singing Revolution". When attacked by Soviet soldiers in public displays of violent force, singing Balts maintained faith in non-violent political action. As an inspiration to all nations, the non-violent Baltic independence movement revolutionised each country through singing and smiling. The "Singing Revolution" is indeed the essence of the Baltic way, and began in 1987 as a public revolt against Soviet restrictions on free speech and assembly. The revolutions and following elections in 1990 resulted in three separate governments and a declaration of independence from the Soviet Union. The book seeks to answer questions such as why the struggle for Baltic independence came to be called the Singing Revolution? What did they sing? And what role did singing play in the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian campaigns of political mobilisation and non-violent action? Furthermore, and uniquely for this publication, it explores, in great depth, the songs that gave the revolution its name, translating and interpreting over 110 choral, rock, and folk songs in their poetic, cultural, and historical context.

Book Synopsis Danish Folktales, Legends, and Other Stories by : Timothy R. Tangherlini
Download or read book Danish Folktales, Legends, and Other Stories written by Timothy R. Tangherlini and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danish Folktales, Legends, and Other Stories is a collection of translated and annotated Nordic folklore that presents full repertoires of five storytellers along with extensive archival material. The printed book presents some of the most compelling stories of these five important storytellers along with historical and biographical introductions. Of a length suitable for course use, it provides a substantive and enjoyable encounter with Danish folklore. The Danish Folklore Nexus on the accompanying DVD includes the storytellers' full repertoires plus 500 additional stories in both Danish and English along with essays on the changing political, social, and economic landscapes of nineteenth-century Denmark, the history of folklore scholarship, critical approaches to folklore, and comprehensive biographies of the storytellers. It also provides links between related stories and interactive maps that allow readers to see where the stories are set and where they were collected, and a mechanism to search for themes and topics across all the stories. The basis of the work is the collection of Evald Tang Kristensen (1843-1929). As a young schoolteacher Kristensen set out across Denmark to collect the folktales, ballads, legends, and stories that he saw as the vestiges of a disappearing folk culture. Over the course of five decades he collected thousands of stories and kept detailed biographical notes about the storytellers he met.

Book Synopsis Danish Fairy Tales by : Svend Grundtvig
Download or read book Danish Fairy Tales written by Svend Grundtvig and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-05 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very best of traditional Danish folklore comes alive for the present-day reader in this classic collection originally compiled by specialist scholar Svend Grundtvig. The tales selected for this volume were designed to represent all aspects of the unique cultural heritage of the Danish people. Grundtvig issued an appeal in 1854 for his countrymen to collect and submit the stories, which, until then, were largely oral, handed down from generation to generation. Hundreds of stories were duly compiled, and Gruntvig's final collection was published in 1876-and became an instant hit. While stories such as "Olaf the Mermaid's Son," "The Raven of Salby," and "Prince Irregang and Maid Miseri" stamped the tales as solidly Danish in origin, other stories such as "The Most Obedient Wife," "Virtue Its Own Reward," and "The School of Black Art," contain moral lessons which could be universal, but which are still unique to this small northern European nation. The stories can be read for delight, or as part of serious scholarly research, and are meant to be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
