An annual

features the 1995 Nobel Prize Lecture by Seamus Heaney, more than a dozen
works by leading international writers, and a music CD.
“ARTES is one of the most interesting, ambitious, and enlightening
magazines devoted to literature and the other arts published anywhere
in the world — and it is surely the most beautiful.” “An unparalleled journal, at any latitude.”
Mercury House is pleased to present ARTES, an international annual
sponsored by the Swedish Academy, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Academy
of Music, and the Society of Nine in Stockholm, featuring the Nobel Lecture
in Literature and other works by distinguished writers and scholars throughout
the world.

on the 19th-century explorer Anders Sparrman by Otto Fagerstedt and Sverker
Sörlin. The 1996 edition of ARTES includes a compact disc with
