Ibsen’s unfavourable opinions on Poland: ignorance or contempt?
Get PDFIt was only three times that Henrik Ibsen voiced his opinions on Poland: her national character, history, culture and political future; twice in his letters to, respectively, Bj0rstjeme Bjømson of 28 January 1865 and Georg Brandes of 30 September 1888, and once in his poem Abraham Lincolns mord (The Murder of Abraham Lincoln), almost totally unknown in Poland. The opinions were brief and vague, besides, they were private, passed in personal letters. The mention in the poem was connected with bitter remarks regarding contemporary politics and hypocrisy o f the mighty political rulers of the world and false public opinion. Ibsen’s remarks were, in fact, part of his meditations on Norway, Scandinavia, Europe and only in this context were aimed at saying a few words about Poland, a country he never showed any interest in.

Work in the Lives of Finnish Women as Reflected in Contemporary Finnish Social Research and Women’s Literature
Get PDFWork related values are to be found among the most cherished by Finns in any Finnish value survey ever conducted. Women constitute 49% of the whole of Finnish labour force. In contemporary Finnish novels however, pictures of females at work are much less frequent than those of working males. The author of this article discusses the actual meaning of work in the Finnish society and claims that the significance of work for both sexes is equally evident - only in the case of women it is manifested differently. Finnish women - as well as female characters in contemporary Finnish novels by women authors - express themselves acting rather than pondering just like their male counterparts
