Vari består livets sanna värden? Den frågan ställer vi oss gång på gång under tillvarons finanskriser, och i denna novell ansätter den även jagberättaren. Ett tillförlitligt svar vore bokstavligen guld värt.

„Schlachtfeld Menschheit“: Unter diesem Thema wird in der kleinen südschwedischen Universitätsstadt Lund eine zehntägige Konferenz abgehalten, an der führende Geisteswissenschaftler aus aller Welt teilnehmen. Parallel dazu tagen im medizinischen Bereich Experten der Kardiologie. Bei einem Ausflug am ersten Tag vermischen sich einige der Teilnehmer in einem kleinen Wald außerhalb von Lund. Dieser Wald ist danach der wirkliche Mittelpunkt der Handlung. Jeden Tag treffen sich dort verschiedene Personen und machen Spaziergänge, wobei zuweilen merkwürdige Dinge passieren.
Dieser Roman besteht aus Episoden. Während der jeweiligen Spaziergänge werden zentrale Aspekte unseres Menschenlebens angesprochen. Dazu gehören Alter und Kindheit, Liebe, Krankheit und Tod sowie Kunst, Lüge und Zukunft. Axel Thormählen beschreibt die Geschehnisse in einem warmen und zeitweise humoristischen Ton. Ohne vor den tiefsten Unruhen der Menschenseele haltzumachen, bietet dieser zugleich besinnliche und fantasievolle Roman vor allem Trost.

Eliot’s Animals
T. S. Eliot´s poems and plays are full of animals, from the alley cats of the early poems by way of the eagle, leopards, and unicorns in Ash-Wednesday to the birds in Four Quartets. Marianne Thormählen´s Eliot´s Animals takes you on a guided tour of Eliot´s bestiary, showing how the poet brought a rich variety of ideas about animals into his texts and invested those texts with layers of meaning derived from, for instance, Dante, Baudelaire, and the Bible. Eliot´s Animals is a book to dip into for the Eliot reader curious to see how a particular scene can be perceived with reference to the function of a particular animal image. There is no need to read it straight through -- but those who do will learn something new about Eliot´s range and subtlety in handling symbolic features. (Lund Studies in English No. 70, 1984; 197 pp.)
The Brontës and Religion (hardback)
appeared from Cambridge University Press in 1999. The first full-length study of religion in the Brontë fiction, it shows how the Brontës' familiarity with the contemporary debates on doctrinal, ethical, and ecclesiastical issues informs their novels. Divided into four parts, the book examines denominations, doctrines, ethics, and clerics in the work of the Brontës. The analyses of the novels clarify the constant interplay of human and divine love in their development. While demonstrating that the Brontës' fiction is usually in agreement with the basic tenets of Evangelical Anglicanism, The Brontës and Religion emphasises the characteristic spiritual freedom and audacity of the Brontës. Lucid and vigorously written, it opens up new perspectives for Brontë specialists and enthusiasts alike on a fundamental aspect of the novels greatly neglected in recent decades.
Excerpts from reviews: "[a] well-informed [study] based on scrupulous readings and meticulous judgments" (Times Literary Supplement); "[the author's] willingness to read with the grain of the novels' religion makes for absorbing reading" (Victorian Studies); "a refreshingly textual study of the Brontës' fiction" (The Review of English Studies); "a work of extraordinarily comprehensive scholarship" (The Journal of Ecclesiastical History); "the kind of writing which will endure and remain valuable for many years to come" (Theology); "I very much enjoyed this book" (Reviews in Religion & Theology).

Selected Papers from the 20th IAUPE Conference in Lund 2007
In August 2007, about 200 senior researchers in the field of English, language and literature, spent a week in Lund taking the temperature of their subject. Nearly 150 papers were presented in 19 conference sections. This volume contains a lively selection, chosen by the 37 Section Chairs as saying something about where research in the discipline is heading. Also included are the two plenary lectures about the state and future of English in the academy by Elizabeth Traugott (language) and Helen Vendler (literature).
A common feature unites this diverse collection: English literature and language as a vital concern for real people, all over the world and in the past as well as the present. Here 'English' reaffirms its human credentials, moving forward with fresh confidence and enthusiasm. (Lund Studies in English 112, ISBN 978-91-976935-0-9)

De närvarande
Innehåller åtta sträva, intensiva berättelser ur samtiden som präglas av en illusionslös psykologi, där medkänsla ändå är utgångspunkten, och en ovanlig förmåga till satir och svart humor. Om sitt författarskap skriver Thormählen själv: Det ställer människan och möjligheterna i medelpunkten. Med varje gestalt börjar för mig en ny livserfarenhet, jag följer den och det ofta absurda försöket att fylla tillvaronskorta tidsrymd med en innebörd. För att kunna finnas till, måste man först beröra jorden; ett par av de gestalter jag beskriver glöder och förkolnar vid försöket. Andra finner åtminstone hoppet om ett fotfäste.
