An acclaimed master of the short poem, Tranströmer’s 1974 Östersjöar (Baltics, in the English translation) is his most ambitious attempt to write a long poem. It is also the only one of his books in which he names and thematises a precise geographical reality. This article offers a reading of Baltics that shows how the geographical space of the Baltic sea contributes to the construction of a deeply personal poetical territory of which it becomes an essential part. The form Tranströmer gives to his longest poem is intimately linked to the themes which it develops while making of Baltics a central book in the author’s poetical production as a whole. mer., 01 oct. 2025 12:05:46 +0200 mer., 03 déc. 2025 10:57:27 +0100 https://www.ouvroir.fr/deshima/index.php?id=679 https://www.ouvroir.fr/deshima/index.php?id=200 Avec Herr Arnes penningar (1903), Les écus de Messire Arne, Selma Lagerlöf crée un de ses récits les plus sombres. Le point de départ est la relation strictement factuelle que fait Johan Oedman, dans la chronique Chorographia Bahusiensis (1746), de l’assassinat du pasteur de la paroisse de Solberga, à un moment de la seconde moitié du xvie siècle. Lagerlöf transforme cette trame narrative, en l’inscrivant dans un cadre spatio-temporel spectaculaire de son invention, où la mer prise dans les glaces joue un rôle de premier plan. L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en évidence ce cadre et le rôle qu’il joue dans le déploiement sophistiqué du récit, où la mer gelée fait s’effacer les frontières, surgir le surnaturel et s’ouvrir les profondeurs de l’âme en souffrance. Selma Lagerlöf’s Herr Arnes penningar (1903), Herr Arne’s hoard or The Treasure in english, is one of her darkest stories. The starting point is Johan Oedman’s strictly factual account, in the chronicle Chorographia Bahusiensis (1746), of the murder of the parish priest of Solberga, some time in the second half of the 16th century. Lagerlöf transforms this narrative, setting it in a spectacular spatio-temporal framework of her own invention, in which the ice-covered sea plays a prominent role. The aim of this article is to highlight this setting and the role it plays in the sophisticated unfolding of the narrative, in which the frozen sea blurs boundaries, gives rise to the supernatural and opens up the depths of the suffering soul. lun., 22 sept. 2025 10:19:36 +0200 mer., 03 déc. 2025 15:38:49 +0100 https://www.ouvroir.fr/deshima/index.php?id=200
