Finnur Jónssons store litteraturhistorie - oprindeligt udgivet under titlen Den old-norske og oldislandske litteraturs historie - er den hidtil mest omfattende historie over den norrøne litteratur. Trebindsværket beskriver den norsk-islandske littera-turs udvikling fra vikingetid til middelalder. Andet bind, der beskæftiger sig med perioden 1100-1300, gennemgår de skjaldekvad, som hører til dette tidsrum. Herefter følger første del af en omfattende og systematisk gennemgang af saga-litteraturen. - Denne udgave af værket er et fotografisk genoptryk af andenudgaven fra 1923.

In My Ancestors are Reindeer Herders and I am Melting in Extinction, Ron Riekki presents a collection of non-fiction, short stories, and poetry about the Karelian- and Saami-American experience. In true nomadic fashion, his writing takes the reader to Kuusamo, Utah, Berkeley, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Lake Mohave, Yosemite, Karelia, and a hazmat facility where all the animals on site have been forgotten. A mix of Anselm Hollo, Gregory Orr, Eric Torgersen, and Nils-Aslak Valkeapää, Riekki’s writing forces the Saami-American voice to be heard, a voice that some might not even realize exists. It does. Furiously.
