Broerne til verdenAllerede ved udgivelsen af det andet bind i dette syvbindsværk, der nu er under genudgivelse, beskrev den svenske litteraturkritiker Lars Olof Franzén fra Dagens Nyheter hovedpersonen Jon Bæksgård som en ”Odysseus i vor samtid”. Jon er netop en rejsende – og det ikke blot geografisk. Vi følger ham gennem de sidste næsten halvfjerds års mange politiske systemer i ofte spændingsmættede historier, der myldrer med samtidens kendte figurer. Men vi rejser også med på drømmeagtige eventyr i fortiden, fra stenalderen og op til dag. Med Jon Bæksgård forfølger Dalager store spørgsmål af eksistentiel og moralsk art fra Den Kolde Krig og op til nutidens Amerika under Trump.”En suite om at være menneske i senmoderniteten på godt og ondt,” Bo Tao Michaelis, Politiken”Dalagers tankevækkende storværk om Jon og samtiden,” Klaus Rothstein, Weekendavisen”En triumf for den politiske thriller,” Süddeutsche Zeitung”Verdenslitteratur ... nogle af de fineste og mest ambitiøse romaner, der kan læses nu," Dagens NyheterJonOm Jons barndom og brydningsfulde ungdom frem til universitetsårene i halvfjerdsernes Århus.”En intens sanset beskrivelse af en ung mands udvikling fra barndom til ungdom og samtidig en skildring af det omgivende samfunds udvikling … Flot, sammenhængende roman,” Karsten Just i Bibliotekstjenesten”Der er optrin … som bringer Sandemoses sømandsskildringer i erindring. Som en flænge i sofastykkets lærred, hvor man pludselig kan se ud i den store vide verden og fornemme, at der ikke er frelse at hente der. Men indsigt, proportionsfornemmelse og lidt selvforglemmelse. Romanen lyser af nærvær og poesi,” Peter Poulsen i DR´s litterære magasin, Perspektivkassen.Stig Dalager, en af dansk litteraturs mest internationalt udbredte forfattere, udgivet og spillet i 34 lande.

In Jón Leifs and the Musical Invention of Iceland, Árni Heimir Ingólfsson provides a striking account of the dramatic career of Iceland's iconic composer. Leifs (1899–1968) was the first Icelander to devote himself fully to composition at a time when a local music scene was only beginning to take form. He was a fervent nationalist in his art, fashioning an idiosyncratic and uncompromising 'Icelandic' sound from traditions of vernacular music with the aim to legitimize Iceland as an independent, culturally empowered nation. In addition to exploring Leifs's career, Ingólfsson provides detailed descriptions of Leifs's major works and their cultural contexts. Leifs's music was inspired by the Icelandic landscape and includes auditory depictions of volcanos, geysers, and waterfalls. The raw quality of his orchestral music is frequently enhanced by an expansive percussion section, including anvils, stones, sirens, bells, ships' chains, shotguns, and cannons. Largely neglected in his own lifetime, Leifs's music has been rediscovered in recent years and hailed as a singular and deeply original contribution to twentieth-century music. Jón Leifs and the Musical Invention of Iceland enriches our understanding and appreciation of Leifs and his music by exploring the political, literary and environmental contexts that influenced his work.
