in occupied Norway was vital to Hitlers race with the United States to

Knut
Hamsun (Nobel prize
for literature, 1920)
Knut was born in the Gudbransdal
Valley and was 93 at his death in 1952. He worked in North Norway and was
critical of modern writers whose social preoccupations prompted him to
write what he thought literature was intended to be. He was pro-Nazi, but
slowly recovered from this stigma. "In the Service of Words"- Knut Hamsun"

Lauraine
Snelling Popular Fiction Writer
Dream
to Follow (Return to Red River, 1)
Lauraine Snelling - Our price: $9.74.
Snelling's A Dream to Follow begins her Return to Red River series, a child
of her popular Red River of the North series about the Swedish settlement
of North Dakota and Minnesota in the 1870s. Her hero in this first installment
is young Thorliff Bjorklund, son of Ingeborg and Haaken Bjorklund,
who heads off to college at St. Olaf's to study journalism, but feels guilty
leaving the farm to his overworked parents and his younger brother. It's
an utterly predictable tale, though Thorliff is likable enough, and once
again, her strong suit, Snelling's knowledge of life on the farm, shines
through.
An
Untamed Land - The Red River of North Dakota - Book 1
Lauraine Snelling - Our price: $8.99.
Yes, the Prologue begins in Norway in 1877. It is fiction but, I believe
that at least some of it is based on the author's own family history. The
author is a professional writer and she has done a good job of researching
the the big and little everyday stuff that the pioneers had to put up with.

Man Without a Past (2002) DVD Our
price: $26.96. A man (Markku

classic horror film. A destitute family helps nurse him back to health
and a Salvation Army worker named Irma (Kati Outinen) helps him get a job.
Though bureaucrats and policemen who can't seem to cope with this amnesiac's
lack of established identity, the amnesiac plants potatoes, manages a rock
& roll band, and romances Irma as he builds a new self. Kaurismaki
weaves his movies out of small details and careful, cautious steps forward--but
by the end, The Man Without a Past has become a rich, engrossing,
and very funny portrait of the possibilities of life.

the Jewel of Norway

miniature of all that makes Norway the most beautiful country in the world.
See the deep fjords that cut through the steep mountains where the water
is so clear the boats appear to be floating on air. Enter the countryside
where the only sound is a brook bubbling through the moss covered banks
and the distant bells on the grazing sheep. Visit the thriving yet
cozy town of Stavanger with all its richly painted wooden buildings.
See the coast where rich farmland merges with the North Sea. All
is set to the backdrop of an ever changing sky, sometimes gentle and colorful
then troubled and moody. The music in this video, performed by Norway's
finest recording artists, Secret Garden, Annbjørg Lien, Dalakopa,
Tone Hulbækmo, Steinar Ofsdal, Sigmund Groven and American
composer Mike Lynch, echoes the rugged beauty and quiet strength
of this gem called Rogaland.
