On October 12 cheers rang out as the Swedish Academy announced Turkish author Orhan Pamuk as this year's Nobel Prize Winner in Literature. Pamuk, who was born in 1952, had long been a favorite for the award, and is the first Turkish writer to be honored with the prize. In the words of the Swedish Academy, Pamuk's "quest for the melancholic soul of his native city" made him discover "new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures". Pamuk was born 1952 in Istanbul where he still lives. In mid-November the author faced a handful of Swedish reporters for an intimate press conference at the Swedish Consul's residence in New York. Looking suave in a dark pinstripe blazer and matching pants, Pamuk seemed happy and relaxed. He has had quite a year. In 2005, Pamuk condemned the mass killi...

One century after his death, the plays written by Norway's Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) remain as topical and provocative as ever. Theaters all over the world continue to stage The Pillars of Society, A Doll's House, Ghosts, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Hedda Gabler and The Wild Duck. In the USA and Russia, in France or China, it is virtually impossible to take a course in world literature without taking a long hard look at the works of Henrik Ibsen, the father of modern drama.

[Frost] og Funi, at the outskirts of Hveragerdi, first struck us as rather spare and utilitarian, with its row of small cabins built with gray industrial siding. The setting, however, was splendid. Poised next to a river bubbling with hot springs, it opened to a vista of mountains, waterfalls, and, in the far distance, a glistening white glacier. The guesthouse abounded in bathing facilities: a large swimming pool, geothermal sauna, outdoor shower, and a couple of "hot pot" Jacuzzis - small circular tubs, perfect, according to the owner, for sitting in "on a cold, starry winter's night. Whoever said so was surely right. The soup served to us had been absolutely delicious, and arrived with homemade bread and three superior dips, specialty of the house. However, the name wasn't the lobst...
