520 "In 1916, Sven Ormson leaves a restless life in Stockholm
to seek adventure in Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago where
darkness reigns four months of the year and he might
witness the splendor of the Northern Lights one night and
be attacked by a polar bear the next. But his time in a
mining camp ends when an avalanche nearly kills him,
leaving him disfigured, after which Sven flees even
farther, 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 that 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 eve in the most inhospitable conditions
on the planet, we are not beyond the reach of love." --
