Great, but all to short, journey with mr. Palomar. Thoughtfull insights in the art of describing life, earth, elements, charcuteri and cheese among others.

Important book on how to save democracy. Short, sharp and seriously handing out flashbacks. Though I like the book, I can't help thinking he is preaching for those allready saved. Also I tend to think that examples from other times and places than Germany, Soviet and Eastern Europe. Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Iran, as examples.

Great book which explores long forgotten nations, states, colonies and what have you on the basis of a stamp collection. It proves the importances of postage stamps as cultural artifacts for state building and nationalism. Easy to read, it lacks the heavy and pounding analysis of the iconography of the postage stamps.

Hææh, kvækkede stemmen. Jeg tænkte det nok. Jeg tænkte nok, at jeg skulle finde dig her, din lille lort.

With some lacks, a fine book about hunting, forests and royal culture in a European perspective.

Nyfigne vi fra dag til dag
saá til med syge Sind
og tænkte: Mon vor egen Sjæl
paa samme Vej slaar ind?
For ingen modstaar Helveds Magt,
er Sjælen først gjort blind.
