Bøger om Saxnäs

Östen had not only bought the Sami man's land and fishing water, he had also bought his boat and all his fine and well-maintained fishing nets. They were hanging on large fork-shaped birch trunks down by the lake shore. I have made a good purchase here, Östen thought to himself when he saw them. But even though people trade land, forest, and water with each other, they often forget to take into account that neither belongs to them. Other beings had an ancient claim to everything that man believed to possess. And Tomas Månsson might not have been completely honest when he praised the great fishing fortune here in the lake. He may have had many sons, but not as many as he once had. But Östen was unaware of all this, and that was perhaps a good thing. He works the hardest who believes he is the master of his own destiny. WILDERNESS is a settler story from Saxnäs in Swedish South Lapland in the early 1800s. WILDERNESS is the fourth independent story in the series Modern Nordic Folk Tales. Storytelling for adults.

"Östen havde ikke bare købt samemandens jord og fiskevand, han havde også købt hans båd og alle hans fine og velholdte fiskenet. De hang til tørre på store gaffelformede birkestammer nede ved søbredden. Her har jeg gjort et godt køb, tænkte Östen ved sig selv, da han så dem. Men selv om mennesker handler jord, skov og vand med hinanden, så glemmer de ofte at tage i betragtning, at ingen af delene tilhører dem. Andre væsner havde et urgammelt krav på alt det, mennesket mente at eje. Og samen Tomas Månsson havde måske ikke været helt ærlig, da han fortalte om fiskelykken her i søen. For nok havde han mange sønner, men ikke så mange, som han havde haft en gang. Men alt det, var Östen uvidende om, og det var måske meget godt. Den mand arbejder hårdest, som tror, at han er sin egen lykkes smed."VILDMARK er en nybyggerfortælling fra Saxnäs i svensk Sydlapland i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet.
