I was riveted' Lydia Davis'Like standing outside an open window on a warm summer evening and listening to a piece of contemporary history' Länstidningen'What a wonderful book . . . You want to move into it' ExpressenNear the river Klarälven, snug in the dense forest landscape of northern Värmland, lies the secluded village of Osebol. It is a quiet place: one where relationships take root over decades, and where the bustle of city life is replaced by the sound of wind in the trees.In this extraordinary and engrossing book, an unexpected cultural phenomenon in its native Sweden, the stories of Osebol's residents are brought to life in their own words. Over the last half-century, the automation of the lumber industry and the steady relocations to the cities have seen the village's adult population fall to roughly forty. But still, life goes on; heirlooms are passed from hand to hand, and memories from mouth to mouth, while new arrivals come from near and far.Marit Kapla has interviewed nearly every villager between the ages of 18 and 92, recording their stories verbatim. What emerges is at once a familiar chronicle of great social metamorphosis, told from the inside, and a beautifully microcosmic portrait of a place and its people. To read Osebol is to lose oneself in its gentle rhythms of simple language and open space, and to emerge feeling like one has really grown to know the inhabitants of this varied community, nestled among the trees in a changing world. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Luminous, illuminating, almost meditative - lose yourself in the lives and stories of a quiet woodland village in SwedenWinner of the 2019 August PrizeNear the river Klar lven, snug in the dense forest landscape of northern V rmland, lies the Swedish village of Osebol. It is a quiet place: one where relationships take root over decades, and where the bustle of city life is replaced by the sound of wind in the trees.In the last half-century, the automation of the lumber industry and the steady drip of relocations to the cities for work have seen Osebol's adult population dwindle to only 40-odd residents. The shops have closed; the bridge across the river is shut to traffic. But still, life goes on. Those who have inherited their farms for generations live alongside recent arrivals from near and far. People age; children grow up. Heirlooms are passed from hand to hand, and memories from mouth to mouth.In this extraordinary book, Marit Kapla has gathered the voices of the villagers themselves, interviewing almost all of those remaining between the ages of 18 and 92. They alone speak. Arranged with only a handful of lines on each page, they tell of their griefs and joys, resentments and pleasures, enmities and loves, and memories that span a century of progress and upheaval.To read Osebol is to be immersed in its gentle rhythms of simple language and open space, and to emerge feeling like one has really grown to know the inhabitants of this varied community, nestled among the trees in a changing world.

Condition: Muy Bueno. 14 x 22 cms. 813 páginas. Rústica editorial con solapas. Cubierta ilustrada. Traducción: Carmen Montes Cano. Corrección ortotipográfica: Victoria Parra Ortiz. «Cerca del río Klara, acurrucado en el denso paisaje forestal del norte de Värmland, se encuentra el apartado pueblo de Osebol. Es un lugar tranquilo, donde las relaciones echan raíces durante décadas y donde el bullicio de la vida urbana es sustituido por el sonido del viento en los árboles. En este libro extraordinario y absorbente, un fenómeno cultural inesperado en su Suecia natal, las historias de los habitantes de Osebol cobran vida con sus propias palabras. En el último medio siglo, la automatización de la industria maderera y los constantes traslados a las ciudades han reducido la población adulta del pueblo a unos cuarenta habitantes. Pero la vida sigue su curso: las reliquias pasan de mano en mano, los recuerdos de boca en boca, y los recién llegados vienen de cerca y de lejos. Marit Kapla ha entrevistado a casi todos los aldeanos de entre 18 y 92 años y ha registrado sus historias al pie de la letra. El resultado es a la vez una crónica familiar de una gran metamorfosis social, contada desde dentro, y un hermoso retrato microcósmico de un lugar y sus gentes. Leer Osebol es perderse en sus suaves ritmos de lenguaje sencillo y espacio abierto, y salir con la sensación de haber llegado a conocer realmente a los habitantes de esta variada comunidad, enclavada entre los árboles en un mundo cambiante.».
