The singular city of Christiania

It was during the time I wandered about and starved in Christiania: Christiania, this singular city, from which no man departs without carrying away the traces of his sojourn there.

And even bad law

Ladies and Gentlemen,—No word has played a more important part in the discussion of scientific and philosophical questions than the word Nature.

Supernatural elements

Gösta Berling's Saga was Nobel laureate Selma Lagerlöf's first novel, published in 1891. The novel is a notable and still much read example of the 1890s wave of Swedish Neo-romanticism.

Down on the farm

Traditionally, the goal of farming was to work collectively as a community to grow and harvest crops that could be grown in mass such as wheat, corn, squash, and other cash crops.

Island no longer

A peninsula is a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but connected to mainland. Europe is sometimes considered to be a large peninsula extending off Eurasia.

Albrecht Dürer and his books

Dürer exerted a huge influence on the artists of succeeding generations, especially in printmaking, as his paintings were predominately in private collections located in only a few cities.
