I just finished reading my first Swedish literature ‘Kejsarn av Portugallien’, an assignment by my swedish teacher.
It really really moved me and affected me greatly. In fact I cannot stop thinking about it. Although I had to refer to the dictionary quite often to fully comprehend the meaning of some words, I really enjoyed it.
The book is written by a Nobel prize winner and she wrote about the love of a father for his daughter. It was so moving that I cried. Maybe it made me think of my relationship with my own father. Maybe it is telling me something about my own relationship with my kids or maybe it is the pure simple crazy love between a father and his beloved daughter, how he would never think badly of his ‘always wonderful and good’ daughter and how he believed in his daughter – his only pride and joy.
ok…enough of my rambling..now, i have to pick up my daughter from school.
Am sure daddy Nicke cant say a bad thing about lovely Linn! Girls have a way of wrapping fathers round their fingers…
Bra gjort Sky.Den finns som film.Du borde se den.
No lah. Swedish class assignment. Have to complete homework and am forced to read it.
Chien, you are so right. I tell you now if I have read DH Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers 25 years later, my views would have been so different.
Wow… Already reading literary works?! Am truly impressed… Happy 2012 and year of the dragon – Big kisses and hugs for Linn and Jonathan 🙂
Yes, we see with new eyes when we become parents. Ironical how lessons in life must be taught in ways like these.
On another note, nice festive change to your wallpaper! In the mood for feasting over there ? 😉
