Download or read book The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven written by Nathaniel Ian Miller and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this "briskly entertaining" (New York Times Book Review), "transporting and wholly original" (People Magazine) novel, one man banishes himself to a solitary life in the Arctic Circle, and is saved by good friends, a loyal dog, and a surprise visit that changes everything. In 1916, Sven Ormson leaves a restless life in Stockholm to seek adventure in Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago where darkness reigns four months of the year and he might witness the splendor of the Northern Lights one night and be attacked by a polar bear the next. But his time as a miner ends when an avalanche nearly kills him, leaving him disfigured, and Sven flees even further, to an uninhabited fjord. There, with the company of a loyal dog, he builds a hut and lives alone, testing himself against the elements. The teachings of a Finnish fur trapper, along with encouraging letters from his family and a Scottish geologist who befriended him in the mining camp, get him through his first winter. Years into his routine isolation, the arrival of an unlikely visitor salves his loneliness, sparking a chain of surprising events that will bring Sven into a family of fellow castoffs and determine the course of the rest of his life. Written with wry humor and in prose as breathtaking as the stark landscape it evokes, The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven is a testament to the strength of our human bonds, reminding us that even in the most inhospitable conditions on the planet, we are not beyond the reach of love. #1 Indie Next Pick Finalist for the Vermont Book Award Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize

Download or read book The Perils of Life Savoring written by David Danielson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-04-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is all right to doubt. Skepticism is as noble a journey to faith as accepting orthodox authority and a lot more fun. This is a true story of a young man who wondered if all he heard from a church pew and saw through stained glass were as real as it would get. It’s an amusing read for the generation who thought maturity was what they experienced in the 1940s and 1950s. Young readers struggling to emerge from authoritarianism will be relieved to learn that their elders are not as certain as they pretend. Did the young man receive a divine call, or was he seeking the approval of a more earthly father? How could he proclaim faith when he doubted more than most in the pews? Was it dishonest for an agnostic to play the role of a minister for thirty-five years? Dishonest or not, he came to appreciate the role, and reflecting back on it is enabled to say that it really was good. It was very good.
