วีดีโอ

I should move to Vienna. I'm so sorry but i have to say. You're the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.😯 My english is not good therefore i can't understand what you tell in the video. I also sorry for that.

That was really inspiring 💙

This video was “the push in the ass” for me.

Tarjei Vesaas's novel "The Birds" also deals with the topic of water extensively, as the main character becomes a ferryman (not only that, but I won't spoiler)! Ice Palace that you mention in the description is one of my favourite Norwegian books! Thank you for the video

I think the topic of water is fascinating, I’m from Mexico, and in my town there is a problem with water constantly, people say its because the well that the government uses to extract drinking water is overexploited, my mom always says that people in the city don't know how to take care of the water because they don't know what it's like to go to the river to get it, I guess that's the reason why I try to take care of the water. One day I was very upset, because in the building where I live they turned off the water again, and people finish it very quickly, and in my head I though "el agua está en constante huida" (the water is constantly running away), in my opinion that is kind of a poetic way to say we don’t have water to wash the dishes. I haven't completely read all Joseph Campbell's books. I don't know if you know about him, his most famous book is “The hero with a thousand faces”, but he also has other books that talk about myths and gods around the world, there is also Mircea Eliade, I’ve only read the writings of both for a high school project.

I did these translations with a translator, im just starting to learn German :) (17:05) Green and fierce, the sea was now pouring over the railing, and the ship's deck became steeper and steeper, animals and provisions and people slid and fell towards the hungry water. (17:45) All those who had perished. At first they had fought against it [...], but then, when they had fought for a while, they calmed down and floated down there in peaceful silence. [...] And if the sea goddess Ran, the ruler of the great depths, had stood on the seabed that day with her black net in her hand, if she had put her head back and stared up at the surface, she would have seen people and animals floating down from above. Slowly, like dark snowflakes. And she would have enjoyed it, this beautiful but merciless goddess, and perhaps she would have smiled. And perhaps her teeth would have gleamed for a brief moment in the darkness she sought out down here. (20:50) Like a weightless spirit, he floated through a complete darkness.[...] In his massive casket, everything was silent and dark, as if the depths that belonged to him had been recreated in it. In his own soul. Only now and then did he notice life pulsating like a glowing reflection of thoughts and longings.

Due to reasons I stopped studdying literature. However I still love it. This channel is a gem!

nice topic, and it is obvious that you really like it, yes, the video was coherent, enjoyable, thanks! (what i "recognized", is that you speak in a very clear way, i mean pronounciaton of words, and your german accent is also different from what i have heard so far, again much clearer, easier to understand. ) (just saw, "ice" from ULL is available to me, i will look into it soon)

Thank you!

Hello Luise! Is your library English friendly, and does it have books in English? Ty ^^

Thank you Luise. Excellent and thorough analysis of water and its significance to us all. Enlightening. I appreciate your thoughtful approach :-)

War tuhhhh, the element of life💧☔

Call me Ishmael. Maybe you could read some of your work sometime, continue to enjoy your channel.

That might have been my favorite of all your videos. It had everything, the university, the writing, the tea, but the story while you were making that food (day to day cooking annoys me too!) and the karaoke, I don't know something extra coming through. I loved it. Of course, the university footage. So beautiful. Such a wonderful place to get to walk around and study in. What a corner of the world! The Italian woman was obsessed with pasta, you say you're obsessed with porridge, I think I'm obsessed with Vienna and books. So, here I am. And now I know how I will get my apple a day (a struggle of mine) - cut it up and put it in my (oatmeal) sorry not porridge, but maybe i need to investigate the difference. They look similar. Wonderful to share the low key week with you! great work thank you for the fun and inspiration.

Thank you so much for recommending the Liveship Traders series! I had never heard of it before. I love naval fiction! I've added it to my wishlist. :) P.S.: My sister's thesis was also based on Bourdieu's theory (we studied Übersetzen am Zentrum für Translationswissenschaft). Good luck with it! :)

I wish you all the best for your masters thesis! I am currently starting my BA-thesis on Hans Falladas novel "Kleiner Mann - was nun?" and the masculinity portrayed in it. The novel was published almost at the same time as Vicky Baums "Menschen im Hotel". I do struggle a bit with structuring a bigger writing project (bigger than a usual paper), so I would be interested to hear more about your writing process etc concerning your thesis! :)

What an exciting project. I hope you keep us updated on every stage. I would be very interested. Great work as always.

Your videos are wonderful the way they are!! There are people, like me, that do not know a lot about literature, so your content is always very informative! :)

have you written anything

Could you make another video recommending austrian female authors? I would like to read more from my own country. I always end up reading more from authors from english speaking country.

so the comment: good video as always, i cannot really say anything about your topic since while i read something about "budapest 1900", unfortunately, nothing about "Vienna 1900", especially not about female writers. i checked the names, and realized that i saw two movies which can be connected to Vicki Baum, one is the oscar-winning adaptation of the novel you show in the video, the movie was "grand hotel" 1932, the other one was written by her, also from the 30's. near the end of the video you mention "wild" numbers connected to books, i wrote about the hungarian situation but it may have been the reason why the comment disappeared, some time ago similar thing happened, i have no idea why, i wrote, rewrote it but numbers (pric.s) were there and the comment disappeared again and again.

For q&a what is the scandinavian studies' curriculum is like?

it begins again... no problem if you deleted my comment, i just would like to know if it was you or not, then probably youtube

How much your enjoying your literature review for your research? Sometimes it really sucks not being able to study what you really want to. But m really enjoying my master's thesis. And buying books online which i need is super super expensive here in my country you can buy one laptop with that much money xd, so i gotta stick to reading on gadgets. Anyways have a producive and nice day luise :).

I'm pleased to hear ongoing academic research on the subject of twentieth century female authors. Their stories deserve a place in the history books for sure. Pierre Bourdieu was a very influential French thinker in his time and his work remains foundational in sociology as well as English Cultural Studies. I wish you the very best in your Master's thesis going forward Luise👍🙏☺

Your face remembers Thomas Mann.

Very nice video, thank you! If you only knew how nice it is for me here in Ukraine to feel your positivity and how much I value each of your videos. Thanks again and greetings from Ukraine!

I like your lifestyle and studies The shape of the teapot, your library, and even your classic clothes are very beautiful❤❤

I think the closest name for that cheese in English would be Cottage Cheese. Still not exactly the same, but close.

epische outfits!

Hi Louise! For the Q&A I had a question that I would like you to answer, if you want to. So, I'm very interested in how does the uni system work there in Vienna. I live in Spain and studied Biochemistry, and I was very shocked to hear you talking about choosing your courses and doing things not related to your main study theme. Here uni is VERY stressful (in science for sure), we can't choose anything and we have to go to all obligatory courses we have programmed for that year, more or less. If you don't do things this way, you are the freak one... Also, we don't have so many dissertation works, we have to focus on exams because it is what grades the course that we are doing. I love how you learn there, it is much freer and independent! If you want, you could explain how you organized your uni and master courses. Love your videos, as always!! :)

You are so encouraging. I love listening to you. I am also a literature student and can relate to a lot of what you are saying. Especially the stuff about feeling like an imposter or not good enough. I think we have to remind ourselves that studying should be fun, it should be enjoyable and inspirational. Oftentimes the system tricks us into thinking that we are somehow lacking. But we are humans after all. We all have our own preferred speed and depth of processing...

nice vlog again, definitely not contemporary vibes, but very enjoyable (even if i wasn' t a literature student, still some memories came up about uni life...). the stairs at 14 minute are a bit scary:)

Love the video! How did you get the job at the public library? If I may ask

🎈🎈🙂

Just a curiosity: in my country, when cream cheese was less common, cheesecake was made with ricotta. Love your videos 😘

That Italian girls sounds.. odd.. lovely ambiance as always, take care!

I enjoyed this! Also, the Italians need to get off their high horse with food.

Aaaaah, my partner works at the Department of History Library! I am so glad you enjoyed your time there!

The closest thing we'll get to experiencing a Hogwarts School in real life. The feeling is magical 🙃 Hellowww!!😁

How about some library tours!

🎉

There is a masters program in Austrian studies? Please make a video about that. It would be very interesting to know what they teach you in that course.

Professionaly speaking, what do you expect this degree to bring you?

I just interviewed to work part time at my public library, I hope I get the job, I want to work in one so badly haha

I totally hate those overview courses irrespective of the domain. Its incredibly hard for me to study for the course which holds no interest for me. I can resonate with "not actively participating in the class discussion" part cause i been like this xd. Anyways have you ever had a thought of writing your own novel? It could happen because of involving too much into literature reading. Btw very nice video luise :') and how are you?

I'm graduating next year and want to study Comparative Literature here in Vienna so your insight is extremely helpful and interesting. Thanks a lot for making this video

Welcome to booktube 📚☕

Thanks for the video : )

Yes! Please make a video about Scandinavian studies!
