Two Winters in Norway is a travelogue written by Arthur Edmund Spender, detailing his experiences during two winter holidays spent in Norway. The book is divided into two parts, each describing a different winter vacation.In the first part, Spender recounts his experiences of snowshoeing and sleigh driving in the Norwegian mountains. He describes the stunning natural beauty of the landscape, the challenges of traveling in the snow, and the warmth and hospitality of the Norwegian people.In the second part, Spender details an expedition to visit the Lapps, an indigenous people living in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. He describes their unique culture, their traditional way of life, and their struggles to maintain their identity in the face of modernization.Throughout the book, Spender provides vivid descriptions of the Norwegian countryside, including its rugged mountains, frozen lakes, and dense forests. He also includes anecdotes about the people he meets, from farmers and fishermen to reindeer herders and Lappish shamans.Two Winters in Norway is a fascinating and informative account of one man's exploration of a beautiful and remote corner of the world. It offers readers a glimpse into a way of life that is rapidly disappearing, and a reminder of the importance of preserving traditional cultures and natural environments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
