The wooden holiday cabin, or hytte, is a vital aspect of Norwegian life. Robert Ferguson explores its history and significance as a national icon. Characterized by turf roofs and wooden structures, these cabins offer fresh air, tranquility, and the allure of outdoor activities like wood-chopping and hiking in stunning landscapes. In 2016, Ferguson and his wife purchased land in Hardangervidda, where they built their own hytte, fulfilling a dream that had drawn him to Norway from England over thirty years ago. As the cabin takes shape, Ferguson engages in conversations with friends and builders, uncovering the cultural history of modern Norway. He observes the evolving traditions associated with these cabins as Norwegians balance newfound urban wealth with their past as a close-knit, rural community. Additionally, he highlights the enriching relationship between colonial Norwegians and their affluent British neighbors in the 19th and 20th centuries. The British 'salmon-lords' influenced Norwegians' perspectives on their rivers, while English climbers introduced new ideas about their mountains, shaping a unique cultural exchange.

The Scandinavians are regarded as Europe's most tolerant and peace-loving people. So how was it that one of the worst acts of political terror ever witnessed on this continent was committed by a Norwegian - against his fellow countrymen? Scandinavia is the epitome of cool: we fill our homes with cheap but stylish Nordic furniture; we envy their health-giving outdoor lifestyle; we glut ourselves on their crime fiction; even their strangely attractive melancholia seems to express a stoic, common-sensical acceptance of life's many vicissitudes. But how valid is this outsider's view of Scandinavia, and how accurate our picture of life in Scandinavia today? Robert Ferguson digs down through two millennia of history to tell stories of extraordinary events, people and objects - from Norwegian Death Metal to Vidkun Quisling, from Agnetha F�ltskog to Greta Garbo, from Lurpak butter to the Old Norse rune stones - that richly illuminate our understanding of modern Scandinavia, its society, politics, culture and temperament.

Od krwawego ataku na klasztor Lindisfarne w 793 roku do zasiedlenia Grenlandii i odkrycia Ameryki Północnej wikingowie zdominowali Europę na ponad 300 lat. Co leżało u źródeł tej erupcji przemocy i co ostatecznie położyło jej kres?nHistoria autorstwa Roberta Fergusona rzuca nowe światło na różnorodne aspekty kultury wikingów: ich religię, architekturę, sztukę budowania okrętów, a także literaturę sławiącą dokonania królów i wodzów o tajemniczo brzmiących przydomkach, takich jak Harald Sinozęby czy Ivar bez Kości. To najbardziej klarowny i fascynujący obraz świata wikingów, jaki do tej pory stworzono.nnnRobert Ferguson to jeden z najznamienitszych badaczy kultury i historii Skandynawii. Jest autorem między innymi biografii Henrika Ibsena i Knuta Hamsuna. Na zaproszenie norweskiego rządu prowadził wykłady na uniwersytetach, w ambasadach i w wielu innych instytucjach.
