Download or read book The Hole written by Oyvind Torseter and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Hello, I've discovered a hole in my apartment... it moves around ... yes ... if you could come and look at it ...bring it down to you, you say ... how ... hello!'.The protagonist has discovered a hole and tries to find an explanation. He seeks expert advice. But not everything can be explained. Perhaps he will just have to accept that it's there.THE HOLE has simple, expressive drawings by pen and computer. The hole is punched right through the book, so it exists in real life.Praise:'... a stylish and surreal picture book... line drawings combined with a minimal use of colour lends the book a stylish and elegant appearance. With few details, attention is drawn towards the simple points on each page, making the story quick to read and easy to understand for readers young and old. At the same time it raises a whole host of questions, both concrete and abstract, and invites several perusals. It is fortunate that the pages are sturdy - this is a book that will quickly become well-thumbed.' - Dagbladet About the AuthorØyvind Torseter is an artist. He has created many picture books and given individual as well as collective exhibitions. Øyvind Torseter won the Bologna Ragazzi Award 2008 with his picture book AVSTIKKERE (DETOURS), and has received several other prizes and nominations as well for his illustrations. But we suspect that THE HOLE will be his great international break-through. No online pdf can do justice to this fabulous story, as the physical hole going straight through the book cannot be visible on a screen. Still, you will get an idea of the philosophical implications raised in this book when looking at the illustrations.

Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., OUR OWN STORY. By SELINA BUNBURY, Author of "A Summer in Northern Europe," &c. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "This is a work of unquestionable genius. The story is one full of interest; it is managed with consummate skill, animated by characters touched by the hand of an artist, and well fitted to enlist the sympathy of the reader, while there is an eloquent simplicity in Miss Bunbury's style, equally remote from careless negligence and from straining after point and epigram. It is a work that will hardly be laid down unread when once taken up."--Morning Chronicle. 'This is a story of that meritorious class which, entering the world with the view of improving and amusing it, effectively accomplishes both purposes. Unlike the frivolous literature of the drawing-room, it does more than excite the curiosity of the reader by the interesting complication of events and adventures, and the animating development of the plot. It exhibits throughout a learned spirit of observation, and has much of both tender and lofty feeling. The vitality and versatility of original genius are apparent in every chapter: there is life in it. It abounds with deep thought and brilliant imagination, and displays, in equal proportions, humour, invention, and acute observation. Some of the scenes are pathetic in a very powerful degree, and such of them as are in the main of a lively and mirthful character are occasionally softened and relieved by touches of unexpected tenderness and tragic emotion."--Morning Post. "Written not only with great literary power, but with deep feeling, this interesting tale unfolds the inner realities of the soul's life, portraying in a style singularly effective the human...

Download or read book Northern Travel written by Bayard Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Northern Travel: Summer and Winter Pictures of Sweden, Lapland and Norway This book requires no further words of introduction than those with which I have prefaced former volumes - that my object in travel is neither scientific, statistical, nor politico-economical; but simply artistic, pictorial, - if possible, panoramic. I have attempted to draw, with a hand which, I hope, has acquired a little steadiness from long practice, the people and the scenery of Northern Europe, to colour my sketches with the tints of the originals, and to invest each one with its native and characteristic atmosphere. In order to do this, I have adopted, as in other countries, a simple rule: to live, as near as possible, the life of the people among whom I travel. The history of Sweden and Norway, their forms of Government, commerce, productive industry, political condition, geology, botany, and agriculture, can be found in other works, and I have only touched upon such subjects where it was necessary to give completeness to my pictures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norwegian Pictures: Drawn With Pen and Pencil, Containing Also a Glance at Sweden and the Gotha Canal, With a Map and One Hundred and Twenty-Seven Illustrations From Sketches and Photographs 'The West Coast of Scotland is something like the nature of Norway in a general way, except that it is infinitely smaller and less grand; but that constant bright blue sky, those deeply-indented, sinuous, gleaming friths, those headstrong rivers and headlong falls, those steep hill-sides, those long ridges of fells, those peaks and needles rising sharp above them, those hanging glaciers and wreaths of everlasting snow, those towering endless pine-forests, relieved by slender stems of silver birch, those green spots in the midst of the forest, those winding dales and upland lakes; those various shapes of birds and beasts, the mighty crashing elk, the fleet reindeer, the fearless bear, the nimble lynx, the shy wolf; those eagles and swans and sea-birds, those many tones and notes of Nature's voice making distant music through the twilight summer night, those brilliant, flashing, northern lights when days grow short, those dazzling, blinding storms of autumn snow, that cheerful winter frost and cold, that joy of sledging over the smooth ice, when the sharp-shod horse careers at full speed with the light sledge, or rushes down the steep pitches over the crackling snow through the green spruce wood - all these form a Nature of their own. These particular features belong in their combination to no other land. And in the midst of all this natural scenery we find an honest manly race, not the race of the towns and cities, but of the dales and fells, free and unsubdued, holding its own in a country where there are neither lords nor ladies, but simple men and women.'
