Book excerpt: "Nikolai Astrup: Visions of Norway will introduce this singular artist to new American and international audiences. The catalogue will follow the artist's life and career in roughly chronological order, situating his work within the history of his native Norway. It will showcase Astrup's early works depicting the landscape of Jølster and childhood home at Ålhus and culminate with his most dramatic paintings, which celebrate the midsummer eve bonfires that mark the festival night in June that merges pagan fertility rites with St. John the Baptist's Saint's Day. This catalogue tells the story of an extraordinary artistic life devoted to landscapes both sublime and personal. Astrup captured his environment as a means of expressing nature as a "dream reality" and created a distinctive national visual language. This beautiful book will bring the intensity of Astrup's palette, the magical realism of his landscapes, and the innovative nature of his prints to a wide audience throughout the world"--

Book excerpt: One of the smallest countries in Europe, Norway has created for itself a position in the world community, which is completely out of proportion to the size of its population. Originally the home of sub-Arctic hunters and gatherers, then of ferocious Vikings, it lost perhaps half of its population to the Black Death in 1349, ended up in a union with Denmark that lasted until 1814, and then became united with Sweden, gaining complete independence only as recently as 1905. Over the centuries the Norwegians eked out a meager living from stony fields and treacherous seas while suffering through hunger, darkness, and cold, however, its recent productive use of such natural resources as hydroelectric power, natural gas, and oil has made the Norwegians some of the richest people in the world. The A to Z of Norway supplies a wealth of information that illuminates Norway's remarkable history, society, and culture. This is done through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, appendixes, and over 250 cross-referenced dictionary entries covering events and individuals of historical, political, social, and cultural significance. Both past and present political parties are discussed, major economic sectors are described, and basic economic facts are provided. Several entries describe the history and attractions of major Norwegian cities, and Norway's role in the international community is detailed as well providing a full portrait of this vibrant country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thorough introduction to modern-day Norway and Norwegian culture shows the impact a small country can have on the world in terms of peace building, environmental issues, technological innovation, and more. Culture and Customs of Norway provides an up-to-date view of Norway, showcasing a nation that is part of modern Europe, yet zealously maintains its own culture and identity. Providing the most current information on a broad range of topics—including cinema, literature, food, art, performing arts, and architecture—the book also places modern-day Norway in a historical context that makes it possible to understand how Norwegian culture came to be as it is today. Readers will discover a nation that is a fascinating juxtaposition of advanced technology, especially in such fields as oil production and climate, and some of the most spectacular natural beauty in the world. They will read about such famous writers, artists, and composers as Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Munch, and Edvard Grieg. And they will discover how Norway confronts the challenges of modern society without sacrificing its social-democratic philosophy of social justice and shared responsibility, both at home and globally.
