But his time as a miner ends when an avalanche nearly kills him, leaving him disfigured, and Sven flees even further, to an uninhabited fjord. There, with the company of a loyal dog, he builds a hut and lives alone, testing himself against the elements. The teachings of a Finnish fur trapper, along with encouraging letters from his family and a Scottish geologist who befriended him in the mining camp, get him through his first winter. Years into his routine isolation, the arrival of an unlikely visitor salves his loneliness, sparking a chain of surprising events that will bring Sven into a family of fellow castoffs and determine the course of the rest of his life. Written with wry humor and in prose as breathtaking as the stark landscape it evokes, The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven is a testament to the strength of our human bonds, reminding us that even in the most inhospitable conditions on the planet, we are not beyond the reach of love"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Disfigured persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trapping $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social isolation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Spitsbergen Island (Norway) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Avalanches $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print history fact and fiction. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020247.0 952 $l BKPC251 $d 20220407132131.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220326011644.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1B78A318ACCA11ECBC97898D42ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
