This volume opens a new perspective on the thriving area of research on the imagined North by studying emotions in the light of case studies in Finnish literature. It addresses the cultural history of Arctic hysteria and maps other strange emotions depicted and evoked in literature of the Finnish North. The case studies range from the works of internationally renowned authors, such as Rosa Liksom, Emmi It ranta and Tove Jansson, to the affectively controversial and provocative writings of Timo K. Mukka, Marko Tapio and Pentti Linkola. By focusing on the imagined North in the literature of modernism and late modernity, the authors offer fresh views on experiences of modernisation and the changing Northern environment in the age of the Anthropocene. The book is intended for scholars and students in literary studies, together with everyone interested in the imagined North and emotion, Finnish literature and culture.

Seit Anfang der Zeit gab es ein Volk, dessen Name heute nirgend mehr zu lesen ist. Als sich die L ndereien und Meere formten, begann dieses Volk schon all sein Wissen zu sammeln. Sie waren die Begr nder und Erschaffer der Magie, die in allen Welten heute Einzug gehalten hatte. Um dieses Wissen zu sch tzen, bergaben sie es einem uralten Gesch pf. Einem Adler. In ihm ruhte die Seele des gr ten Magiers, der jemals in diesem Universum existierte. Der Prophezeiung zufolge hei t es, dass er sich nur dann zeigt, wenn die Not am gr ten ist. Niemand wusste genau, wann und wer das sein sollte. Syrianna, einst ein unscheinbares M dchen wurde diese Ehre zuteil. Eine der Bewacherin des Adlers Salith zu sein. In Band zwei geht das Abenteuer nun weiter. Was erwartet die Welt von Arida?

Impresiones de un Surumato en Nuevo México by Manuel Sariñana represents a remarkable literary recovery. For the first time, the novella is presented in its original Spanish and in English, painstakingly translated and annotated by Phillip B. Gonzales.Manuel Sariñana came to the New Mexico territory from Mexico to work as a Spanish-language journalist. While covering politics, he wrote and published Impresiones de un Surumato en Nuevo México as a picaresque work, a common genre in Mexico that uses satire to narrate a drama based on concrete social issues in the author's immediate vicinity. In his preface, Sariñana makes his intent clear: to address the unseemly manner in which New Mexico's Democratic Party attempts to gain leverage in elections. But, in a caricature of two immigrant peons, he surreptitiously takes to task how nuevomexicanos look down on people from Mexico.Gonzales provides a critical introduction, an interpretation of Sariñana's piece, and a historical framework to contextualize the author's experiences and the events alluded to in the novella. The result brings this important work of fiction to a new generation of readers.

Artemis doesn't want any messy entanglements, has a taste for bad boys, and the sexy Mordred Le Fey fits the bill. Too bad he's cursed by the Lady of the Lake. Aphrodite has had her fill of Love being used as a curse and decides to give Vivienne her comeuppance. She ends up with trials of her own when all she wanted was a vacation. Secretly, Vivienne thinks she deserves to be punished because she's been in love with Arthur since she handed him Excalibur and engineered the fall of Guinevere and Camelot.
