Astrid Lindgren and the Archives
The author Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002) is for many Swedes a genuine national icon. On several occasions, when the most popular and influential Swede is to be announced, Astrid Lindgren’s name is always one of the top names. Astrid Lindgren is for the Swedes known not only as a famous author, but also as a person who spoke out on things she found wrong in the Swedish society. In the history of Swedish literature 1945 is usually regarded as a milestone and Astrid Lindgren’s book Pippi Longstocking was published and revolutionised both children’s literature and the attitude to children and their upbringing. Astrid Lindgren also worked as editor-in-chief for the publishing house Rabén & Sjögren from 1946 to 1970 and for almost a quarter of a century she was responsible for the children’s literature while at the same time she was in practise her own editor. Today, ten years after she passed away 94 years old, her remaining papers, letters and manuscripts are kept in different archives where interesting research can be carried out. There is a substantial amount of material from her rich and prolific life and in this article I wish to illustrate how this material can be used to provide a deeper knowledge of Astrid Lindgren as a person and as an editor.</p

Astrid Lindgren oggi. Spunti per una riflessione
The Author does a study in deep about the charming work of Astrid Lindgren. Her books rapresent a widening of social childhood, and we can find some marks of fantastic mind and unconventional behaviour in them. The Author underlines the actuality of Lindgren’s literature
Possibillity of christian interpretation of selected works of Astrid Lindgren
The goal of the theses is to interpret a selected work of A. Lindgren in a theological way. Methodology of the practical part is built on the broad context of early Christian inculturation (interpretation of ancient culture in the Patristic Tradition, introduced in the work of Hugo Rahner), and of the modern philosophical-theological interpretation of secular culture (interpretation of Don Juan in the work of Karel Vrána). The personality of the author A. Lindgren is then described, with emphasis on certain biographical facts which are particularly important for the goal of the theses. The work of German theologian Thomas Vogel is introduced in the Czech environment for the first time. Thomas Vogel is well-known for his Christian interpretations of A. Lindgren?s books. In the final part the author interprets the book Mio, My Son from christological, ecclesiological and eschatological point of view

Torgny Lindgren och musiken
Torgny Lindgren, born in 1938 and dead in 2017 was a member of the Swedish Academy but also one of the most popular writers of his time. Although four doctoral theses have been devoted to his novels, no thorough investigation has been undertaken of his lifelong interest in music. Born in Raggsjö, in the province of Västernorrland, he listened to the organ playing in churches and chapels in his youth. Even in ordinary farm houses pipe organs were built as a standard instrument, and "an organ tone" can be heard in many of his works.His masterpieces, such as Ormens väg på hälleberget (The snake's way on the rock), Norrlands Akvavit (The Aquavit of Norrland), Hummelhonung (Honey of the bumblebee) and Pölsa (Hash of lungs) are imbued with classical music, not least the organ music of J S Bach. Being av teacher of German Torgny Lindgren often went to Vienna, where he made himself acquainted with a vast repertoire of musical genres, particularly within the area of classicism and romanticism. If Bach is one of his favourites, Gustaf Mahler is another one. The polyphony in Mahler's symfonies attracted him particularly. Music represents to Lindgren a gate to heaven, something which became very close to his heart, especially after he converted to Roman Catholicism.Musikens roll i lyriken är flitigt utforskad och omskriven men inte dess roll i romankonsten. Torgny Lindgren, folkkär norrländsk berättare och ledamot av Svenska Akademien, utövade sällan själv musik. Men en orgelton är förnimbar i hans prosa, han var bördig från "orgellandet" i Västerbotten. Genom att lyssna på musik, inte minst i radio och på grammofon, skaffade han sig goda kunskaper om tonkonsten. Ibland bygger han romaner efter musikaliska formmönster som fuga, sonat eller rondo, ibland skildrar han sina personer med hjälp av musik, ibland fångar han en hel livsstämning med musik. Katoliken Lindgren uppfattar tonerna som en port till evigheten. I en rad noveller och romaner som Ormens väg på hälleberget, Norrlands Akvavit, Ljuset, Pölsan och Dorés bibel får vi följa en diktare, som älskade Johann Sebastian Bach lika mycket som Gustav Mahler.</p
Astrid Lindgren and the Archives
The author Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002), well-known for the characters Pippi Longstocking, the Brothers Lionheart, Emil and Karlsson-on-the roof, is for many Swedes a genuine national icon. On several occasions, when a list of the most popular and influential Swede has been published, Astrid Lindgren’s name has been prominent. Around the year 2000 many Swedes voted Astrid Lindgren the most important person of the entire 2000 years, something that says much about our often short memory, but more about how popular Astrid Lindgren really is. In the year she turned 90 she was selected as ‘This Year's Swede in the World’ by The Society for Swedes in the World because few Swedes have been so esteemed throughout the world. On receiving the prize she said, ‘You are giving the prize of This Year's Swede in the World to a person who is extremely old, half blind, half deaf and completely mad. We must be careful about spreading this around’ (Törnqvist-Verschuur 2011, p.120)
