Norway (Classic Reprint) by Beatrix Jungman Pdf

Excerpt from Norway OF the sea voyage to Norway the less said the better. It is my habit to be ill when I am at sea. That is unfortunate; but habit in itself engenders a mode of philosophy that makes many of the evils of life more easily bearable than they might other wise be. I expect to be ill, and literally lay myself out for it; but Nico takes up an attitude of aggrieved surprise that the ocean should thus overcome him, and consequently is a far greater sufferer than I am. However, it is easy to assume a more or less frivolous tone when all is over. And the fact must be admitted that the voyage to Norway is almost invariably unpleasant to the majority. From the Continent, one can go over land; but such a country as Norway should be 3. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Home Life in Norway (Classic Reprint) by H. K. Daniels Pdf

Excerpt from Home Life in Norway In order to obtain a general idea of the status of the peoples dealt with in these pages, the following notes should be kept in mind. The Norwegians are a yeoman race, without an aristocracy or nobility; and therein is the main difference between them and the Swedes. There are, broadly considered, two classes in the country, with a very distinct line of cleavage, viz., the Bymand, or townsman, and the Bonde, or peasant. The Bym nd, consisting in the main of merchants, shopkeepers, and their dependent workers, inhabit the coastal towns - the habitat of the fishermen - and a few inland centres, and the Bonder, either as sea Bonder or land Bonder, practically people the rest of the country. The Godseier class, corresponding to our landed and leisured gentry, are not very numerous, nor, with some few exceptions, particularly affluent; wherefore have I taken the liberty of conferring on the more substantial Herr Grosserer, or merchant, seniority of place among the productive assets of his country.

The Story of Norway (Classic Reprint) by Hjalmar H. Boyesen Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of Norway It has been my ambition for many years to write a history of Norway, chiefly because no such book, worthy of the name, exists in the English language. When the publishers of the present series of "The Stories of the Nations" proposed to me to write the "story" of my native land, I therefore eagerly accepted their offer. The "story," however, according to their plan, was to differ in some important respects from a regular history. It was to dwell particularly upon the dramatic phases of historical events, and concern itself but slightly with the growth of institutions and sociological phenomena. It therefore necessarily takes small account of proportion. In the present volume more space is given to the national hero, Olaf Tryggvesson, whose brief reign was crowded with dramatic events, than to kings who reigned ten times as long. For the same reason the four centuries of the Union with Denmark are treated with comparative brevity. Many thing happened, no doubt, during those centuries, but "there were few deeds."

Strife and Peace by Fredrika Bremer Pdf

Excerpt from Strife and Peace: Or Scenes in Norway Before a song of joy or sorrow had been sent forth from the hills of Norway, before a wreath of smoke had risen from her quiet valleys, before a tree in her dark forests had fallen by the hand of man, before king Nor had given his name to the land he traversed in pursuit of his captive sister yes, before a Norwegian existed - the lofty Dovre raised its snow-capped summits before the face of the Creator.

Norway and the Norwegians (Classic Reprint) by Charles Francis Keary Pdf

Excerpt from Norway and the Norwegians The growing attractiveness of Norse scenery to English and American travellers, whereof the returns of steam ship companies and hotels would be sufficient evidence, has been witnessed also by the production during recent years of a good many books descriptive of the country. The present volume is not an addition to the number of these. It does not, that is to say, aim chiefly at describing what the tourist may expect to see in Nor way; but rather at supplying those items of informa tion which the most sharp-sighted traveller could not get from observation alone; some of those links which unite the Norway of to-day to the Norway of the past, and the parts of the existing life of the country visible to the eye to other parts which the mere tourist cannot participate in, the life of politics, of industry, of literature, which belongs to the inhabitants of a country but not to the visitors to. It. A final chapter, kindly written for me by Miss E. Tindall, deals upon the same plan'with the Flora of Norway.

How to See Norway (Classic Reprint) by John Robert Campbell Pdf

Excerpt from How to See Norway The following pages are little more than a re print of two papers on Norway, written by me for the Alpine Journal, viz. 'travelling in Norway' and Excursions in Norway, ' which appeared in the numbers for May 1868, and August 1870, respec tively. These articles have been carefully revised and corrected for the present work, and in many places I have inserted some remarks which were wanting in the originals. To the above papers I have now added a new chapter on the coast route between Throndhjem and Hammerfest, giving the mail steamers' time-table, correct for last year; and, in order to render the little volume more complete, a map of the greater portion of Norway is appended, whereon the principal routes noticed in the text are shown by red lines. All the engravings are from sketches of my own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The History of Norway (Classic Reprint) by David Noyes Pdf

Excerpt from The History of Norway The several religious societies will accept my thanks for their aid generously furnished me, and with my warm thanks, a warmer wish, that our Heavenly Father may always con tinue to smile propitiously on them, and fit them, more than ever, for the full enjoyment of a blessed immortality. To the officers of the Militia (i can 't find any new, but I have found the old books) I present my thanks for the old records and all the officers of the Militia are entitled to much praise for the correctness with which the books have been kept. To be sure, we all desire to see the time when men shall learn war no more, but perhaps it may be well to keep the tools ready for fear they may be wanted.

When I Was a Boy in Norway (Classic Reprint) by John Oscar Hall Pdf

Excerpt from When I Was a Boy in Norway Customs in Norway vary much in the different sections and valleys. What is customary in one valley may be strange or even unknown in another. This will be easily understood when we remember that the people in the solitary parishes have had little intercommunion and that each parish has clung to its own traditions and customs. With this in view, I have had the choice of either presenting that which is true of a small section or parish, or that which is more generally true for the whole country.
