en It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.

Hjälp till - skriv in på svenska:

en Words that are saturated with lies or atrocity, do not easily resume life.
Hjälp till - skriv in på svenska:

en The journalistic vision sharpens to the point of maximum impact every event, every individual and social configuration; but the honing is uniform.
Hjälp till - korrekturläs & ändra:

en More and more lower-middle-income families either live their lives in debt or leave the city altogether. The boom is strictly at the penthouse level.
Hjälp till - korrekturläs & ändra:
