Earth in 2064 is politically corrupt and in economic decline. The Long Depression has dragged on for 56 years, and the Bureau of Sustainable Research is hard at work making sure no new technologies disrupt the planned economy. Ten years ago, a band of malcontents, dreamers, and libertarian radicals bolted privately developed antigravity drives onto rusty seagoing cargo ships, loaded them to the gills with 20th-century tunnel-boring machines and earthmoving equipment, and set sail - for the moon.

In the early 20th century, German count Ferdinand von Zeppelin pioneered the creation of rigid, lighter-than-air craft capable of long-distance flights. During World War I, they were adapted for military use as long-range bombers wreaking havoc upon Great Britain from their lofty positions high above the clouds, where fixed-winged fighters could not reach them. After the war zeppelins became pleasure ships utilized in luxury trans-Atlantic flights and were highly popular.

Putting the struggle of a persecuted people into perspective, Max Dimont asks whether the tragic sufferings of the Jews have actually been the key to their survival, as other nations and races vanished into obscurity.

Hva er egentlig litteratur? Hvorfor leser vi den? Finnes det universelle mønstre som går igjen på tvers av tid og sted? Hvorfor det er interessant å se på litteraturen i et bredere perspektiv enn bare enkeltverk og forfatterskap? Disse og flere spørsmål utforskes i «Litteraturens mønstre»: en podkast om tendenser, temaer og troper i litteraturen. Gjennom samtaler med litteraturforskere fra Universitetet i Agder (UiA) og fra andre universiteter retter litteraturstipendiatene Oda Sagebakken Slotnes og Helle Marie Vatne et skråblikk mot de mønstrene som har etablert seg i litteraturen...

Io gli ho solo dato un’...
