Niels Lyhne (1880) har overordnet strukturen som en dannelsesroman, men strukturen opl ser sig indefra, idet hovedpersonen, Niels, ikke udvikler sig men g r i st . Niels er en fantast og ateist, og drives s langt ud i desillusion, at livet taber mening for ham. Niels Lyhne er dermed en, for perioden, moderne figur, og hans refleksioner er slet ikke fremmede for os i dag, hvor fremmedgjorthed kan opleves som et grundvilk r ved at v re menneske i et moderne samfund. I bogen skildres Niels' forhold til flere forskellige kvinder, som alle f r en betydning for hans liv, og bogen er fyldt med st rkt sansede naturoplevelser.

Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerl f (1858 -1940) was een Zweeds schrijfster, die vooral bekend is geworden door haar kinderboek Nils Holgerssons wonderbare reis. In 1909 ontving ze de Nobelprijs voor Literatuur en in 1914 werd ze lid de Zweedse Academie, het comit dat de Nobelprijs voor Literatuur toekent. Ze woonde in de plaats Sunne, waar twee hotels naar haar zijn vernoemd. In haar voormalige woonhuis M rbacka (nabij Sunne) is tegenwoordig een museum gevestigd.
Niels Bohr’s atomic theory of 1913 is one of the absolute highlights in the history of modern science. It was only with this work that physicists realized that quantum theory is an essential ingredient in atomic physics, and it was also only with this work that Rutherford’s nuclear model dating from 1911 was transformed into a proper theory of atomic structure. In a longer perspective, Bohr’s quantum atom of 1913 gave rise to the later Heisenberg-Schrödinger quantum mechanics and all its marvellous consequences. This book is a detailed account of the origin of the Bohr atom centred around his original scientific articles of 1913 which are here reproduced and provided with the necessary historical background. In addition to the so-called trilogy – the three papers published in Philosophical Magazine – also two other and less well-known yet important papers are included. The present work starts with a condensed biographical account of Bohr’s life and scientific career,from his birth in Copenhagen in 1885 to his death in the same city 77 years later. It then proceeds with a chapter outlining earlier ideas of atomic structure and tracing Bohr’s route from his doctoral dissertation in 1911 over his stays in Cambridge and Manchester to the submission in April 1913 of the first part of the trilogy. The reproduction of Bohr’s five articles is followed by notes and comments directly related to the texts, with the aim of clarifying some of the textual passages and to explicate names and subjects that may not be clear or well known. The reception of Bohr’s radically new theory by contemporary physicists and chemists is discussed in a final chapter, which deals with the immediate reactions to Bohr's theory 1913-1915 mostly among British, German and American scientists. Historians of science have long been occupied with Bohr’s atomic theory, which was the subject of careful studies in connection with its centenary in 2013. The present work offers an extensive source-based account of the original theory aimed at a non-specialist audience with an interest in the history of physics and the origin of the quantum world. In 1922 Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize for his theory. The coming centenary will undoubtedly cause an increased interest in how he arrived at his revolutionary picture of the constitution of atoms and molecules.
