![Den syriske poeten Adonis (86), hovedgjest under Æ Å Trondheim Litteraturfestival i mars 2017. Den 86 år gamle forfatteren og poeten Ali Ahmad Said Esber er mannen bak kunstnernavnet Adonis, og han har i hele sin lange karriere stilt spørsmål rundt poesi, politikk og religion. Her i samtale med Litteraturhusets leder Trond Åm bl.a. med utgangspunkt i Adonis`bok «Vold og Islam», som kom på norsk i 2016. En bok han har fått mye oppmerksomhet for, men også har møtt mye motstand mot. Adonis snakket på fransk og brukte tolk. Adonis (Ali Ahmad Said Esber) is a Syrian poet, essayist and translator who is considered one of the most influential and dominant Arab poets of the modern era. Adonis’s publications include twenty volumes of poetry and thirteen of criticism, and dozen books of translation to Arabic. Islamic authorities and scholars have opposed Adonis for his criticism of Islam. Some, such as Egyptian Salafi Mohamad Said Raslan and some faction of the Syrian opposition, issued death threats against him, and some called for his books to be burned. In spite of this opposition, Adonis is a perennial contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Adonis has been described as the greatest living poet of the Arab world. Born to a modest Alawite farming family[8] in January 1930, Adonis hails from the village of al-Qassabin near the city of Latakia in western Syria. He was unable to afford formal schooling for most of his childhood, and his early education consisted of learning the Quran in the local kuttab (mosque-affiliated school) and memorizing classical Arabic poetry, to which his father had introduced him. In May 2012, a statement issued on one of the Syrian opposition’s Facebook pages, supporters of the Syrian opposition argued that the literary icon deserved to die on three counts. First, he is Alawite. Second he is also opposed to the Muslim religion. Third, he criticizes the opposition and rejects foreign military intervention in Syria](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000.ue7qhHByHY/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000.ue7qhHByHY.jpg)

![Telč (tysk: Teltsch) er en by i Tsjekkia. Gamlebyen ble i 1992 oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste. Byen ligger ved foten av de Böhmisk-Mähriske høylandene omgitt av sjøer og ved utløpet av elven Telčský potok hvor denne renner ut i Taya. Bygningene i Telc som ligger på en høyde i landskapet, var opprinnelig oppført i tre.[2] Etter en brann sent på 1300-tallet, ble byen gjenoppført i steinmateriale og ytterligere vernet mot brann ved at den ble omgitt av kunstige sjøer. Stedets gotiske slott ble gjenreist i høygotisk stil sent på 1400-tallet. Unesco: Historic Centre of Telč. The houses in Telc, which stands on a hilltop, were originally built of wood. After a fire in the late 14th century, the town was rebuilt in stone, surrounded by walls and further strengthened by a network of artificial ponds. The town's Gothic castle was reconstructed in High Gothic style in the late 15th century. <br />
Outstanding Universal Value. <br />
The town of Telč is located near the southwestern border between Moravia and Bohemia, in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It is situated in a region which was thickly forested until the 13th century. The property consists of the historic town centre, with the castle situated in the middle, and of two bodies of water, originally having a defensive function. <br />
The origins of the settlement are unclear: there was an early medieval settlement at Staré Město to the south-east of the present town, but there is no mention of Telč in documentary records before 1333-1335, when reference is made to the existence there of an important castle (and presumably also a church and settlement). The town of Telč, whose area covers 36 ha, was probably founded in the mid 14th century. The town itself is of special importance since it was founded on purpose to gain political and economic control over an area where there were deep forests in the 13th and 14th centuries. <br />

![Kristian Magnus Falsen (1782-1830) bodde i en periode av sine barneår på Engelsøya i Steigen. Sammen med sine foreldre og søsken kom han hit i 1789, da Falsen var 6 år, og de hadde sitt hjem her frem til høsten 1791. Altså i omlag 2 og et halvt år. Falsen-bysten ved Steigen kirke. Christian Magnus Falsen (1782–1830) var en norsk politiker, historiker, jurist og embetsmann. Han har fått hedersnavnet «Grunnlovens far» for sin innsats under Riksforsamlingen på Eidsvoll i 1814 og blir ansett som den norske grunnlovens hovedforfatter. Christian Magnus Falsen kom fra en familie av embetsmenn. Hans forfedre hadde vært jurister med dommerembeter i tre generasjoner. Han var sønn av juristen Enevold de Falsen. Selv ble han også nært tilknyttet det dansk-norske embetsverket etter jusstudier og karriere i København. Etter at faren hadde blitt innblandet i en utroskapsskandale i Christiania, ble han nærmest som straff sendt til Steigen i Nordland som lagmann 23. januar 1789.[6] Far og sønn flyttet fra Engeløya til København i 1791 da faren ble assessor i Højesterett. (Wikip) I bakgrunnen Steigen fortidspark, jernalderhøvdingenes rike. Kulturlandskapet har gjennom flere hundre år vært et av hovedstedene i Norge. Skrevne kilder forteller om mektige høvdinger på Steig i jernalderen. En rekke funn understøter dette: Tufter ettter naust til langskip, store gravhauger, rike gravfunn, en 6 meter høy bautastein. Mest kjent er tunanlegget på Vollmoen, som kan ha vært forlegning for folk knyttet til høvdingen eller tingsted for en større region. Jernalderhøvdingene var både verdslige og religiøse ledere, og svært mektige. Det er neppe tilfeldig at kristning og rikssamling skjedde parallelt. Religionsskiftet var kanskje Olav Tryggvassons fremste våpen i kampen mot håløyghøvdingene. Steigen beholdt sin status som maktsenter også etter rikssamling og kristning på 1000- tallet.
