Värmland. Stories to be told
Häftad bok. 1111.
Mycket gott skick.
Värmlands museum har särskilt bjudits in för att visa Värmland med konst och kultur, och har valt att bland annat lyfta fram svenskt 1700-tal genom en fotografisk utställning med bilder från von Echstedtska gården tagna av fotograf Lars Sjöqvist och svensk glaskonst genom Ingalena Klenell. Engelsk text. I mycket fint skick.
Stories To Be Told is a book. A journey through time. And space. Today. The book contains a story that complements many stories from Värmland. In photos and words. Today. And yesterday.
Excerpts and scanned images from old Selma Lagerlöf books
accompany the modern imagery. Selma Lagerlöf won a Nobel Prize
in literature and is considered Värmland?s foremost storyteller.
This story is about Värmland. A story told through a camera lens
during three days in January 2014. A dark, cold, gray time of the
year when daylight is limited to a few hours per day.
A story about forests, paper, iron, and crystal. Not flattering.
Not commercialized. A story told so that it describes
how things look in reality. But look beyond the gray façade ?
past the icy rapids, dark forests, and old factories.
You?ll hear ancient voices telling tales about happiness,
adversity, sadness, and success. About lives lived for centuries
in the deep forests. You can understand how humans used natural
resources and etched out a living from existing conditions.
Welcome to Värmland. As it is. Now.
