«Jeg kjente igjen alt som ble beskrevet i anmeldelsene. Hyttene på Toffelsø og kranglingen om testamentet og om takstene, sykehusinnleggelsen til mamma, pappas fall i trappen, Veras tale på revisorkontoret; hver eneste episode anmelderne hentet ut av romanen for å ramme inn beskrivelsen av Veras litterære verk, var hentet fra vårt liv, mitt liv. Men jeg kjente ikke igjen pappa som hatet alle kvinner - alle unntatt Vera, som han syntes var uimotståelig. Eller mamma som hadde visst om overgrepene, men bare snudde ryggen til fordi hun var mer opptatt av fasade. Jeg kjente ikke igjen Even som et såret barn heller, Ingvill som spilte offentlig godhetsperson, meg selv som hatet storesøsteren min, eller Vera som bare var et offer.» «Fri vilje er et smart og tankevekkende motsvar til Arv og miljø.» Ingunn Økland, Aftenposten
I gamle, unnselige arkivesker og knusktørre dokumentomslag ligger det lagret skjebnesvanger informasjon. For Nora blir dødsfallet til en eldre kollega starten på en reise inn til Arkivets mørkeste avkroker. Hun føres tilbake til sin egen families fortid, til politiske skandaler, metoo-varsler, forsikringssvindlerier og forbudte kjærlighetsaffærer. Alt mens skjeggkreene formerer seg. «Bak den brennende fyrstikken så hun Johan nederst ved bordet. Han bar på en uro, et bønnfallende blikk. Nora innså med ett at blikket fra Johan var bønnen til en levende arkivar, og at de var den nye generasjonen. At det var deres oppgave å huske det de døde helst ville glemme.»
Samerna har tvångsförflyttats, förlorat sina marker, placerats i internat och utsatts för rasbiologi. Språket har tryckts undan och samer har beskrivits som primitiva och exotiska. Hur påverkar historien det samiska folket och hur mår det samiska samhället idag? Inifrån Sápmi samlar över tjugo berättelser om att bli berövad sin identitet, växa upp utan att kunna sitt språk och om att inte betraktas som tillräckligt mycket same. Det handlar om att bära på flera kulturella identiteter och om förtryck och motstånd, förr och nu.Samerna har haft sitt hem här långt före nationalstaterna och är ett av världens urfolk. Sápmi sträcker sig över Norge, Sverige, Finland och Ryssland och är ett gränsöverskridande landområde, med en kollektiv historia och gemensamma minnen. Inifrån Sápmi är en mosaik av erfarenheter och drömmar om en annan framtid.

This volume is primarily devoted to archaeological discussion and scientific analysis of objects relating to Early Medieval metalworking at Helgö. It deals with the finds from the Building Group 3 workshop, same of which have already been printed, in various contexts, in Excavations at Helgö IV, V:1, VII-XI and XV. In addition, Excavations at Helgö XVII presents a new survey of all the building groups and cemeteries on Helgö. This is the first time that a true picture of the topography of the island, the relationship between its archaeological monuments and their correct location in accordance with the national grid has been achieved. The craftsmen in the Building Group 3 workshop worked mainly in non-ferrous metals. Raw materials and finished and finished and unfinished products in gold, silver/white metal and copper alloy are here described and classified archaeologically. Same artefacts of copper alloy have also been scientifically analysed, with evaluation of analyses executed in the 1970s giving an added depth to that investigation. Crucibles and ceramic and stone cupels, 'metallurgical clay packages', and other items essential to non-ferrous metal working have been treated both archaeologically and scientifically, with a great deal of new and exciting information about the processes involved in manufacturing metal objects being reported. Ironworking, another craft practised in the workshop, has been discussed in earlier publications, but modern scientific methods have been employed to supplement this work and enhance our knowledge of the skill of the Helgö smiths. Stone is not usually considered an essential part of metalworking equipment, but the detailed archaeological attention given to the lithic material from Helgö has revealed a surprising variety of stone tool-types used in the production of metal artefacts. This groundbreaking study has opened up an entirely new field of research, and is supplemented in this volume by articles on the uses of flint in metal-using societies and on the information that can be obtained by geological investigations. To put Helgö in context, the partly contemporaneous metal workshop of Bäckby is here published fully for the first time. Its products are compared, both archaeologically and scientifically, with those from Helgö, and conclusions drawn about their similarities and differences. A definitive catalogue of the non-ferrous metal objects round in Building Group 3 and a list of the remaining unpublished finds appear as appendixes, as does a concordance equating excavation find numbers with their registration numbers in the current SHM catalogue.

Praise for Richard Williams' Helga Williams' range, depth, and downright virtuosity are rarely matched: "how beautiful / he is she / says & / she is / a mirror / never veiled." -John Cutaia Helga is about living life as it can be, and is meant to be lived--in awareness and love, in wakefulness and dreaminess, in togetherness and autonomy. There is a sense of dwelling on the horizon, peeking over, never giving in to fear, never tumbling out of the magic and fullness of being. -David Jewell, editor of Raw Paw's Mind Maze This gentle, loving book-of moments and moment-is a layered fountain, fashioned to replenish. There is beauty in art with purity of purpose; these poems and photos cleanse and vivify us, as they invite us into a joy at once private and eternal. -Michael Fitzgerald-Clarke, Townsville, Australia If you believe poems are prayers, join Richard Williams on his knees "pulling the petals of time apart," singing "I have but one thing to do today, be in love." -James McGrath, author of At the Edgelessness of Light, Speaking with Magpies, and The Sun is a Wandering Hunter Wedded to the immediacy of a 21st century affair of the heart, Williams' short line lengths are pointillist jabs at our consciousness; qualia jell into complete thoughts and we are left with our own array of impressions to consider. -Michael Gilmore, author of Reckless Astronomy Williams says, "he loves more than what is found," and that only "I fear not being real." We are reassured, however, early on in "psalms" that "what you truly need / will never leave." -Connie L. Williams, author of Dancing Backwards in Texas
Tjugo år efter Gregorius återkommer Bengt Ohlsson med en berättelse om pastor Gregorius hustru Helga.Helga, som var så förälskad i en annan, som desperat bad sin doktor om hjälp att undkomma makens närmanden.

Så hör en okänd man av sig – i en chiffonjé har han hittat doktor Glas dagbok. Där står sanningen om pastor Gregorius död. Helga konfronteras med ett förflutet som ter sig svårfångat, obegripligt och direkt skrämmande.
”Sanoivat, että halusin sopimattomia. Tavallisen olisi pitänyt riittää.”"Eveliina Talvitie kirjoittaa Poriin sijoittuvan sarjan. Ompelijan tapa katsoa maailmaa on Talvitielle tuttu jo lapsuudesta." -Satakunnan Kansa”Helga tikkaa kotikylänsä asukkaille täkit ja ompelee vaatteet välihousuista leninkeihin ja morsiuspukuihin. Maalaistalon vintillä syntyy myös pariisilaisen haute couturen inspiroimia luomuksia, jotka herättävät jumalanuskoisissa pelkoa. Sodanjälkeinen aika avartaa työlle omistautuneen ompelijan mahdollisuuksia, mutta kaikkea ei voi saada. Helga päätyy lähipiiriä ravisuttavaan ratkaisuun. Päällimmäisenä polttelee halu kasvaa palvelijasta itselliseksi tekijäksi.Helga aloittaa uuden Ompelija-trilogian käsityöläisnaisista ja muodin voimasta. Teos on lumoava ja psykologisesti tarkka kertomus uskalluksesta, kauneuden kaipuusta ja mahdollisuuksien rajoista.”Laatikkomainen muoto oli herättänyt muissa ensi alkuun kummeksuntaa mutta niin vain oli epäilijöiden mieli muuttunut.Ehtisikö Helga tekaista sellaisen kyläilymekon. Sen jossa on ne isot taskut.Ja ehtihän Helga. Varsinkin kun oli oppinut, että vähempikin viimeistely toisinaan piisasi. Itselleen hän oli taiteillut kyläilymekosta myös säkkimäisemmän version, joka kapeni polvia kohden kuin soutuveneen keula. Siinä oli suuren maailman tyyliä, sitä Balenciagaa.”Eveliina Talvitie on Tallinnassa asuva, palkittu kirjailija, jonka tuotantoon kuuluu romaaneja, tietokirjoja ja lastenkirjallisuutta. Helga on Talvitien neljäs romaani. Ompelijan tapa katsoa maailmaa tuli hänelle tutuksi jo lapsena, kun hän seisoi ompelijaäitinsä ja -isoäitinsä sovitettavana.

'The most moving Holocaust diary published since Anne Frank' Daily TelegraphFirst they led us to the baths, where they took from us everything we still had. Quite literally there wasn't even a hair left. I didn't even recognize my own mother till I heard her voice . . .In 1941, aged 12, Helga Weiss, her mother and father were forced to say goodbye to their home, their relatives and all that they knew, and were interned in the Nazi concentration camp of Terezín. For the next three years, Helga documented her experiences there, and those of her friends and family, in a diary. Then they were sent to Auschwitz, and the diary was left behind, hidden in a wall.Helga was one of a tiny number of Jewish children from Prague to survive the holocaust. After she returned home, she eventually managed to retrieve her diary and completed the journal of her experiences. The result is one of the most vivid first-hand accounts of the Holocaust ever to have been recovered. 'Anne Frank's diary finished when her family was rounded up for the camps: in Helga's Diary, we have a child's record of life inside the extermination factories. Shines a light into the long black night that was the Holocaust' Daily Express 'Resounds with a ferocious will to endure conditions of astonishing cruelty. Displays a rare capacity to remain keenly observant and to find the right words for transmitting . . . memory into history' New Statesman 'A moving testimony to courage and endurance. Remarkable . . . what is so compelling is the immediacy and unknowingness' Financial Times
From best-selling author and illustrator Tomie dePaola comes this folktale of a determined and self-reliant troll learning the importance of being true to yourself. Helga, a troll, must somehow acquire a dowry with which to marry or, by the god Odin's command, be doomed to wander the earth forever. After Lars, her true love, is tempted away from her side by a rich dowry, Helga decides to go and earn a dowry of her own Her cleverness, humor, and insight into people help her stand on her own two feet and be loved for who she is.
In 1939, Helga Weiss was a young Jewish schoolgirl in Prague. Along with some 45,000 Jews living in the city, Helga s family endured the first wave of the Nazi invasion: her father was denied work; she was forbidden from attending regular school. As Helga witnessed the increasing Nazi brutality, she began documenting her experiences in a diary. In 1941, Helga and her parents were sent to the concentration camp of Terezin. There, Helga continued to write with astonishing insight about her daily life: the squalid living quarters, the cruel rationing of food, and the executions as well as the moments of joy and hope that persisted in even the worst conditions. In 1944, Helga and her family were sent to Auschwitz. Before she left, Helga s uncle, who worked in the Terezin records department, hid her diary and drawings in a brick wall. Miraculously, he was able to reclaim them for her after the war. Of the 15,000 children brought to Terezin and later deported to Auschwitz, only 100 survived. Helga was one of them. Reconstructed from her original notebooks, the diary is presented here in its entirety. With an introduction by Francine Prose, a revealing interview between translator Neil Bermel and Helga, and the artwork Helga made during her time at Terezin, Helga's Diary stands as a vivid and utterly unique historical document."
