Ny Dunsany-novell hittad
by Martin Andersson 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hack i häl på måndagens Dunsany-uppdatering kommer här ytterligare en uppdatering: Undertecknad har, i en tidning från Singapore från 1956, hittat en "ny" novell av Dunsany, "A Treasure of India". Den publicerades under "Fact or Fiction?", där läsarna presenterades med en text av en känd person och sedan skulle gissa om den var sann eller fiktiv. Dunsanys novell är en jakthistoria från Indien.

Spireas boktips m m
by Åsa Johannesson 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Jag lovade ju att skicka iväg mina boktips också, så här kommer de. Till att börja med Brandon Sanderson. Jag nämnde fem böcker: Mistborn-trilogin, spännande fantasy med kul magi-system och intressant värld och intressanta karaktärer. De heter: The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension och The Hero of Ages. I samma värld men senare: The Alloy of Law. Helt fristående: Warbreaker. Askungen-inspirerad ungdomsbok med cyborgs och en bebodd måne: Cinder av Marissa Meyer. Ska få fortsättningar baserade på fler sagor. All My Friends Are Superheroes av Andrew Kaufman. Jättesöt liten bok om en man som gifter sig med en superhjälte: Perfektionisten och får problem när hennes ex hypnotiserar henne. The Camel Club av David Baldacci. Spänning och konspirationsteorier. För den poesi-intresserade: The Ode Less Travelled av Stephen Fry. Fantastisk! Website-tips: io9.com - allt för nörden ;-) TV-serie: Sanctuary. En hemlig organisation som tar hand om och beskyddar övernaturliga varelser. Både Jack the Ripper och Nicola Tesla dyker upp. Och gillar du den, så kolla in Warehouse 13 också. ;-) Det var nog det för den här gången. Kramar, Spirea

Ny Tolkien-bok väntas i maj 2013
by Johan Lagerqvist 08 Okt '12

08 Okt '12

UNITED KINGDOM: http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/Titles/79908/the-fall-of-arthur-j-r-r-tolkie… USA: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to Publish J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fall of Arthur in 2013 Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has acquired the U.S. rights to publish a previously unknown work by J.R.R. Tolkien. Presented for the first time, the tale of The Fall of Arthur will transport readers to a time when the legendary King Arthur ruled Britain, and a dark and mythic world of ancient Europe, when the threat to the kingdom came from both without and within. The Fall of Arthur, begun by J.R.R. Tolkien just a few years before The Hobbit, was inspired by tales of the iconic British hero contained within the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth, Thomas Malory and other English poets, but depicts drama and adventure in language only Tolkien could have written. It comprises a work of narrative verse telling of the last days of the King, which has been edited by Christopher Tolkien, who also provides detailed commentary and notes. Christopher Tolkien said: “It is well known that a prominent strain in my father’s poetry was his abiding love for the old ‘Northern’ alliterative verse, which extended from the world of Middle-earth (notably in the long but unfinished Lay of the Children of Húrin) to the dramatic dialogue The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth (arising from the Old English poem The Battle of Maldon) and to his ‘Old Norse’ poems The New Lay of the Völsungs and The New Lay of Gudrún (to which he referred in a letter of 1967 as ‘a thing I did many years ago when trying to learn the art of writing alliterative poetry’). In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight he displayed his skill in his rendering of the alliterative verse of the fourteenth century into the same metre in modern English. To these is now added his unfinished and unpublished poem The Fall of Arthur.” This is the first new book by J.R.R. Tolkien since the internationally bestselling The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún in 2009. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will publish The Fall of Arthur in hardcover in May 2013. Ken Carpenter, VP Trade Paperbacks and Director of Tolkien Projects at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt said: “We are delighted to publish this extraordinary work which breathes new life into the tale of King Arthur. Tolkien delivers a narrative every bit as compelling as his tales of Middle-earth that will enrich the legend of this complex hero while satisfying Tolkien’s many fans around the world.” ________________________________ Gg
