Afloat and Ashore is a nautical fiction novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1844. Set in 1796-1804, the novel follows the maritime adventures of Miles Wallingford Jr., the son of wealthy New York landowners who chooses to go to sea after the death of his parents.The novel ends abruptly part way through, and is followed by what critic Harold D. Langely called a "necessary" sequel Miles Wallingford, which resolves many thematic and plot elements.The novel is partially autobiographical, in part by Cooper's own experiences as a sailor, and is his first full-length novel to fully employ a first-person narrative.Themes Thematically, the novel focuses on the challenging relationship between Miles and Neb, a runaway slave who stows away aboard the ship and only is left unpunished when Miles claims him as his own slave.The two become close allies aboard the ship, but the racial and power differences between Miles, who becomes a petty officer aboard the vessel, and Neb, who is confined to the role of regular seaman.Genre and setting In her critical introduction to the novel published at the end of the 19th century, Susan Fenimoore Cooper described the novel as autobiographical fiction, drawing on Coopers experiences growing up in New York, and his experiences with the sea.Critic Thomas Philbrock attributes Cooper's turn to autobiographical experience as inspiration, to a five-month visit by an old shipmate, Ned Myers, which led Cooper to create the biography Ned Myers; or, A Life before the Mast (1843)However, despite Philbrick claiming that the novel is the most autobiographical of Cooper's novels, he notes that "those autobiographical materials in fact make up only a small proportion of the total fabric". Susan Fenimoore Cooper points out Cooper's "truthfully sketched, and tinged with the peculiar coloring of the period" depiction of nautical life, drawn from extensive research with sailors living during the period in which its set. 3] Similary, she notes the contrast between Cooper's earlier nautical fiction like The Pilot, which focuses on the experience of one ship and crew, noting the diversity of vessels and maritime communities depicted.Critic Thomas Philbrick, also notes the importance of historical realism in the novel. He describes the novel being much more realistic largely because of Coopers work on his History of the Navy, as compared to the earlier nautical fiction, like The Pilot (1824), The Red Rover (1827), and The Water-Witch (1830), which treat history and ocean with much more romantic and metaphorical, akin to other Romantic treatments of the sea.Similarly, Philbrick describes Afloat and Ashore as a return to Cooper's interest in the American context, whereas many of his novels in the 10 years before were drawn from European history or the European nautical tradition. James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 - September 15, 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and, in his later years, contributed generously to it.He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society, but was expelled for misbehavior.

Naust

Naust

De fleste nordmenn har sannsynligvis et forhold til naust. Få bygninger har preget kysten vår i større grad enn naustene, og de har derfor vært særdeles viktige for folk langs kysten som har gjort seg nytte av havet, og det havet gir. Uten naust er det vanskelig å se for seg kystkulturen slik den har vært, og er. Foruten å være en dyd av nødvendighet for kystfolk, har naustene også vært av stor sosial verdi. O e virket de som sosial samlingsplass hvor folk møttes for å slå av en prat, utveksle erfaringer og fortelle historier. Forfatteren tar leseren med på en reise langs kysten av Vestlandet. Han besøker de ytterste nakne øyer, de trangeste ordene, de luneste skevær og de nakne steinete strendene langs jærkysten. Til alle steder hvor naust finnes. Underveis på reisen blir det gitt informasjon om naustene; om rødfargen, om konstruksjonene, om tilhørende båter... Ja, til og med om fuglene på mønekammen. Forfatter Trond J. Hansen jobber som frilansfotograf og journalist. Han er opptatt av både natur og kystkultur, og her ønsker han å dokumentere naust og naustmiljøer. NAUST er en praktbok for alle som har et forhold til kysten, til sjøen. En gavebok, både til seg selv og til andre.
