WE PRESENT: digitalized Solsönernas Saga By Valdemar Lindholm, 1909 Solsönernas Saga is the saga of the Sámi people. »It is a people,« writes the author, »who have thought and dreamt greatly — a people who have had their great thinkers and their heroes. A people of poets and dreamers. A peace-loving and good-hearted people, who have never sought conflict needlessly, but when conflict was demanded, they knew how to defend themselves both bravely and cunningly. But the wilderness was their land, and the wilderness has no history.« Lindholm’s work is folk poetry and consists of a series of independent legends, which together form a great Sámi epic, similar to the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala. The content is based on material collected by Anders Fjellner, Jakob Fellman, and by Valdemar Lindholm himself. SUBJECT: Samisk religion og mytologi	WE PRESENT: on print Rimbert: Ansgars liv og virke Danish translation: Peter Andreas Fenger, 1926 / 2025 The Life and Deeds of Ansgar – Vita Ansgarii – is the dramatic account of Ansgar, the Apostle of the North, written by his friend Rimbert shortly after Ansgar’s death in 865. It tells of the first hesitant steps of the mission in Denmark and Sweden – of miracles, trials, and encounters with chieftains and Vikings. Yet the work also offers a rare glimpse into the pagan religion against which Christianity had to contend. Thus, Vita Ansgarii is not merely a saint’s tale but one of the most important sources for the cultural encounter between Christianity and paganism in the North. Order here:
