SUMMARY:The Viking Heart — Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:This September\, join us for a new virtual book talk on The Viking Heart: How Scandinavians Conquered the World with Arthur Herman! Now out in paperback from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, New York Times historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist Arthur Herman’s epic story of this remarkable and truly diverse people was acclaimed on its 2021 release as “a fresh and wholly engaging reassessment of the legendary Vikings” (Booklist) and “a fine history of a people who deserve more attention” (Kirkus Reviews). In a follow-up to his 2021 talk at Scandinavia House on the book’s release\, Arthur Herman returns to discuss themes that have gained new relevance over the past year — including recent archeological discoveries regarding the Viking legacy\, Finland and Sweden’s application to join NATO\, and the Viking context to the Marvel film Thor: Love and Thunder. \nFor millennia Norwegians\, Danes\, Finns\, and Swedes lived a remote and rugged existence among the fjords and peaks of the land of the midnight sun. But when they finally left their homeland in search of opportunity\, these wanderers — including the most famous\, the Vikings — would reshape Europe and beyond. \nIn The Viking Heart\, Arthur Herman melds a compelling historical narrative with cutting-edge archaeological discoveries and DNA research to tell their story. He also explores how the Scandinavian experience has universal meaning\, and how we can still be inspired by their indomitable spirit and the strength of their community bonds — much needed in our deeply polarized society today. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar. Please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. \n“Honestly assesses the results of the Vikings’ past actions around the world and makes an evenhanded argument for the importance of Viking culture in U.S. history…As we wrestle with how to make our world a better\, more equal place\, The Viking Heart provides a framework for recognizing the importance of the past in shaping our present and future”—BookPage \nAbout the Author\nArthur Herman is Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute and author of nine books\, including the New York Times bestseller How the Scots Invented the Modern World and Gandhi and Churchill. His novel Gandhi and Churchill was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He lives in Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:W.: A Novel — Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:On September 21\, August Prize-winning Swedish novelist Steve Sem-Sandberg & translator Saskia Vogel join us for a virtual discussion on W. A Novel\, out on June 28 from The Overlook Press! They’ll discuss the writing and translation of this new literary literary reimagining of one of modern literature’s touchstone texts — the play Woyzeck— hailed as a “sharp and hypersensitive novel about abandonment and violence…a fantastic\, spellbinding\, and terrifying book” (Dagens Nyheter).\n\n\n\n\nConsidered the first modern drama and based on true events\, Woyzeck tells the story of a loyal soldier and survivor of the Napoleonic Wars who\, in a fit of jealous rage\, kills the woman he loves\, written in 1836 by Georg Büchner and unfinished at his death at just 23 years old. Sem-Sandberg’s W grippingly recounts the lovers’ relationship\, the murder case\, and the execution\, unfolding as the soldier W. struggles to recount the events of his life. He grasps at understanding and experiences feelings of time and timelessness; he finds patterns and repetitions\, but these are of no interest to those determining his fate. \n\nBringing new light to this story from court documents from the original case\, Sem-Sandberg masterfully sustains a rich period atmosphere though poetic and controlled prose even down to the choice of pronouns\, as the soldier is held at a cold distance in court proceedings when addressed with the formal\, capitalized “You.” Against a landscape devastated by inhumanity and greed and\, yet\, which manages to sustain hope\, W. tells a ruthless\, moving\, and utterly relevant story of a soldier fighting to make something of the life given to him.This event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel.
