Excerpt: ...the soft ground to the trail that led to Clarke's. Behind a towering clump of ferns they passed, then slipping the bridle loose from off his neck the girl picked up a switch, and with an imperative "Git," she clipped the animal, just as she had once seen Hawley do, over the heels. The next moment the horse was galloping upward, glad to be on the trail he knew, unburdened, and with nose pointed toward his stable. Hastily Gerrie made her way to the creek and returned to the cabin with butter. Her guest stood in the middle of the kitchen, with frying-pan in one hand and plate of hot cakes in the other. "I thought I'd better take them up. What shall I do now?" he asked. "Sit down and eat 'em, of course," Gerrie advised. "We keep the butter in a tin box in the creek to have it fresh. I'll fry more cakes in a minute; perhaps you'd like blackberry jam? It's splendid on cakes--oh, take plenty of it!" (Hoppie's precious jam!) Why don't you begin? Haven't a knife? Pardon me, here's one. (If he sits still that way again I'll shake him!) And here's an extra fork, too. You've got two forks already! Oh, well, take another, there's no telling what might happen," the girl said heedlessly. (I wonder whether Clewatis has passed the Big Pine yet. Surely Alice and Charley have long since gone through the Burn! Dearie me, I feel just like Lucretia Macbeth or Lady Borgia, or whoever they were--talking to this man, and I have just rendered him horseless!) "Do have some more jam--you must!" "Looks as if I needed a breakfast as much as my horse did," McCutchageon said, smiling, and then wondered why his hostess nearly upset the entire bowl of batter and dropped a fork into the ashes. "Oh, he...

Book excerpt: From the 1960s to the 1980s, Sweden was an affluent, egalitarian country envied around the world. Refugees were welcomed, even misfit young Englishmen could find a place there. Andrew Brown spent part of his childhood in Sweden during the 1960s. In the 1970s he married a Swedish woman and worked in a timber mill while helping to raise their small son. Fishing became his passion and his escape. In the mid-1980s his marriage and the country fell apart. The Prime Minister was assassinated. The welfare system crumbled along with the industries that had supported it. Twenty years later, Andrew Brown travelled the length of Sweden in search of the country he had loved, and then hated, and now found he loved again.

Download or read book Ireland, Sweden, and the Great European Migration, 1815-1914 written by Donald Harman Akenson and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the product of Donald Akenson's decades of research and writing on Irish social history and its relationship to the Irish diaspora - it is also the product of a lifetime of trying to figure out where Swedish-America actually came from, and why. These two matters, Akenson shows, are intimately related. Ireland and Sweden each provide a tight case study of a larger phenomenon, one that, for better or worse, shaped the modern world: the Great European Diaspora of the "true" nineteenth century. Akenson's book parts company with the great bulk of recent emigration research by employing sharp transnational comparisons and by situating the two case studies in the larger context of the Great European Migration and of what determines the physics of a diaspora: no small matter, as the concept of diaspora has become central to twenty-first-century transnational studies. He argues (against the increasing refusal of mainstream historians to use empirical databases) that the history community still has a lot to learn from economic historians; and, simultaneously, that (despite the self-confidence of their proponents) narrow, economically based explanations of the Great European Migration leave out many of the most important aspects of the whole complex transaction. Akenson believes that culture and economic matters both count, and that leaving either one on the margins of explanation yields no valid explanation at all.

To come to terms with his recent divorce, Martin, an attorney in Berlin, plans a peaceful vacation - 2 weeks in a Swedish summer house seem to be the solution. It won't be peaceful, however, and those 2 weeks will change his entire life. He takes a liking to Liv, a Swedish woman whom he meets in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, they don't get to have their first date - Liv disappears under mysterious circumstances. Martin begins his search but soon realises he can't find Liv in a strange country by himself. He hires two private investigators, and their discoveries make everything seem even stranger. The complexities in this suspenseful criminal case lead to a hunt across Sweden. Martin comes close to finding answers, but his search lands him in very real danger, eventually leading to the first deaths. Soon he's wondering if he can get Liv and himself out of this situation alive.

Book excerpt: "What happens to a people ... when it becomes divided and separated through a great overseas migration? ... how do the two parts of such a divided people relate to each other? What ideas do they have regarding each other as the process continues and as time and circumstance cause them to develop in separate ways of their own? The purpose of this book is to seek answers to such questions in the case of the Swedes during the period of their great migration, between roughly 1840 and 1940." -- Pref.
