During the latter part of the nineteenth century, so-called esoteric movements became increasingly popular in cultural and intellectual circles in Europe, not least in Sweden. Secret teachings, rituals and practices in alchemy, astrology, occultism and theosophy were predominant, with a belief in correspondences in the cosmos, living nature and transmutations. But esotericism goes back much further in time in Swedish history. Although such esoteric ideas were long considered heresy by the Church and thus driven underground, they have had a significant impact on Swedish culture.<br/><br/>In this anthology, we bring together some of Sweden s foremost experts on the subject to explore the history of esotericism in Sweden and how its rituals, practices and traditions came to influence writers and artists such as August Strindberg, Selma Lagerlöf, Viktor Rydberg, Hilma af Klint, Tyra Kleen and Carl Milles.

Since its completion in 1937, Tegelslagaren 12 has held a modest yet striking presence in Stockholm's Södermalm district. This brick-and-teak 'rental palace' offers a unique take on functionalism, balancing whimsy with rationality, tradition with surprise. It also marks the beginning of the productive partnership between architects Sven Backström and Leif Reinius and the builder Olle Engkvist, a collaboration that would profoundly shape welfare-state housing and postwar architecture in Sweden as well as internationally.<br/><br/>Originally commissioned and still owned by the same family, Tegelslagaren 12 has recently undergone its first major renovation led by architects Krupinski/Krupinska. This book is a record of a remarkable building and its many makers, stewards and users: a testament to the enduring value of architectural craftsmanship, collaboration, and care.

Erik Grönwall shot to stardom over night when he won the Swedish edition of Idol. In his autobiography, <i>Power - Music, Death, Life</i>, we follow Erik&rsquo;s life from his upbringing till today; his struggles to make it as an artist, his devastating leukemia diagnosis at the height of the pandemic, and his miraculous recovery. The book also covers how he came to be the lead singer in legendary metal band, Skid Row, his time in the band, and the reasons for his decision to later leave the band. This is not only a story about life in the limelight and being a rockstar, this is a book about staying true to your values and dreams and how to stand your ground and believe in yourself even when it is not the obvious choice.<br/><br/>&ldquo;I never thought I would write an autobiography, let alone at an age of 36. But sometimes I feel like I have lived two lifetimes in the quarter of a life. I believe I have something to share that might give hope and inspiration to others that are struggling. Life after an illness can actually turn out to be better than ever."<br/><br/><b>Erik Grönwall</b>, b. 1987, is a singer and songwriter, he won Swedish Idol and was the lead in bands like H.E.A.T and Skidrow. And who knows what next, despite all the life lived, he just recently turned 36.

<b>'Fabulous... What a ghost story! A ripping read.' IAIN SINCLAIR, author of <i>London Orbital</i></b><br/><br/><b>'Vividly celebrates Bowie as not just a chameleonic visionary, but a nomadic one, a creature informed by place and circumstance.'

KEVIN LOADER, producer of <i>The Buddha of Suburbia<br/><br/></i></b><b>BOWIE IS STILL OUT THERE...</b><br/><br/>Following open heart surgery, Peter Carpenter was given one instruction - walk if you want to stay alive. So, when his hero died in 2016, he knew what he had to do. The figure who was to so many a companion and guide had left no single focal point for homage. To reconnect with him, Carpenter would take a walk into the past, to the places where David Jones became something more: David Bowie.<br/><br/>Leaving behind well-known shrines to Bowie, he journeyed through South London edgelands to obscurer haunts. Carpenter's quest, a series of happy accidents and chance meetings, took him to Bickley as well as Berlin and Brixton, to Eel Pie Island as well as Heddon Street and Beckenham.<br/><br/>Carpenter's perambulations echo Bowie's own wandering creative spirit. They reveal multiple influences, both conscious and unconscious, in Bowie's creative development. Ultimately, Carpenter reaches a fresh understanding of where Bowie sits in the culture, not as an outlier, but as part of a tradition, informed by those artists, poets and musicians who passed on their wisdom to him. A celebration of the revelatory powers of walking, and by no means just for Bowie obsessives, BOWIELAND opens up our geography in ways rarely seen or so well understood.
