4.9/5 (27750 ratings)

Description:There Lies a Fair Land presents the joys and sorrows — and the ironies — of the Norwegian-American heritage — the immigrant experiences, the settling of the great prairies, the various ways in which individuals have attempted to come to terms with that heritage. There Lies a Fair Land is a comprehensive and varied collection of Norwegian-American writing going back to the turn of the century and coming up to writers active at the present time. O. E. Rølvaag is represented here by a story which has never appeared in book form before and serves as a fit introductory piece to the material which follows. Other early writers, like Norman Reitan and Johannes Wist are also represented, as is the Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun, who spent some times in the upper midwest working on farms before return to his native Norway. Some of these writers — like Ole Buslett — and many of the younger ones (Brenda Daly and Liese Greensfelder, for instance) have seldom or never been published before. Others, like Robert Bly and Rodney Nelson, have been widely published and are well-recognized for their contributions to American letters. There Lies a Fair Land includes many voices — in prose and poetry — to represent the divergence of the Norwegian-American experience and to suggest that to know and remember that experience we must catch the words of all these voices, not just a few.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
