Dag Hammarskjöld's Backåkra : the magic of the place and the history of its objects (inbunden, eng)
Dag Hammarskjöld is perhaps among those Swedes who have made the greatest impression on the world. Before moving to New York to take up his post at the United Nations, Dag was invited to the summer home of his good friend Bo Beskow. He was very taken with the Skåne countryside and in 1957 he purchased the nineteenth-century farmstead Backåkra, east of Ystad, with the intention of settling there once his term of office at the UN ended. On Dag Hammarskjölds tragic death in Africa on September, 1961, his farm was bequeathed to the Swedish Tourist Association(STF) and Swedish Academy. Furniture, artworks and personal belongings from his New York apartment were brought toBackåkra, where they remain to this day. The farm is now run as a museum dedicated to Dag Hammarskjölds life and accomplishments. The book Dag Hammarskjölds Backåkra: The Magic of the Place and the History of its Objects spans over a hundred and fifty years, from the construction of the farm in the mid-nineteenth century to its present-day role as an international meeting place and nature experience. It offers a glimpse into a previously undocumented part of Dag Hammarskjölds life.

![The Scottish writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) is best known for his creation of the character Sherlock Holmes. Trained as a medical doctor, Doyle - like many Victorian intellectuals - became fascinated by spiritualism and its promise of communication with the afterlife. Doyle was a firm believer in the movement, claiming as evidence 'sign[s] of a purposeful and organized invasion' from the spirit world. In 1926, towards the end of his life, he published this influential two-volume history. Volume 2 focuses on celebrated mediums from 1870 to World War I and explores topics such as 'ectoplasm', 'spirit photography' and 'voice mediumship'. Doyle also discusses spiritualism as practised in Europe and the religious aspects of the movement. The History provides valuable insights into Victorian and early twentieth-century culture and the enthusiasm and controversies generated by spiritualism at that time.
