Det är vinter 1944 och andra världskriget rasar. Estland är ockuperat för andra gången. Tidigare var det ryssarna och nu är det tyskarna. För de många estlandssvenskarna, som levt där sedan långt innan den svenska stormaktstiden på 1600-talet, finns bara ett mål. Flykt över Östersjön till det gamla landet. Men för Rix och de andra är det inte helt enkelt att bara fly när nazisterna går fram i faslig takt. Det gäller att hitta det rätta ögonblicket och rymma med livet i behåll. Rein Westerbusch Norberg, född 1943 i Estland, är en svensk skribent och författare av framförallt barnböcker. Vid sidan av skrivandet har han även arbetet som föreläsare, konstnär och sjöman.

The very nature of lighthouses captures the imagination. Being marooned on different lighthouses throughout my career has produced many memorable incidents and humorous stories. Diverse locations like Lundy, Alderney, Wolf, Sark, all have something unique to offer. Rock tower lighthouses, land lights or island lighthouses, each one is different. Cooped up on a tower and being pounded by heavy seas is not only exhilarating, but frightening as well. Fog signals can play a huge part in a good duty period and the relief for going ashore is always welcomed. The characters are what makes this book such a good read. It gets your chuckle chops in overdrive, especially at some of the antics on the lights. A month's duty is filled with incidents and the constant change in weather conditions has an effect on everything that you do. These stories will show how hardship goes hand in glove with humour whilst aboard.

The tale of a man pushed to the brink of madness- for lovers of Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse 1870. Apprentice lighthouseman James Meakes joins two others at the remote offshore rock of Ripsaw Reef... as a replacement for a keeper whose death there remains unexplained.Meakes’ suspicions grow as he accustoms himself to his new vertical world. He finds clues and obscure messages... is there a secret fourth occupant sharing the space, slipping unseen between staircases?With winter approaching, the keepers become isolated utterly from shore. Sea and wind rage against the tower. Danger is part of the life. Death is not uncommon. And yet as the storm builds, the elements pale against a threat more wild and terrifying than any of them could have imagined.‘Unsettling and outstanding’ Kerry Hadley-Pryce‘Ingenious’ Jean Levy‘Spine tingling historical fiction’ @otterly_bookish‘Haunting’ @monsieurmarple‘Rich and vivid’ @annathebooksiread‘Creepy’ @the_book_club__‘Kept me on my toes’ @artbreaker.bookclub‘A story to read with the lights on’ @blottedinkbooks‘Eloquent with beautiful prose’ @thegirlonthego_reads‘Haunting and chilling’ @bookmarkonthewall‘As wild and unpredictable as the tide’ @gothicbookworm

Women have a long history of keeping the lights burning, from tending ancient altar flames or bonfires to modern-day lighthouse keeping. Yet most of their stories are little-known. Guiding Lights includes true stories from around the world, chronicling the lives of the extraordinary women who mind the world’s storm-battered towers. From Hannah Sutton and her partner Grant, the two caretakers living alone on Tasmania’s wild Maatsuyker Island, to Karen Zacharuk, the keeper in charge of Cape Beale on Canada’s Vancouver Island, where bears, cougars and wolves roam, the lives of lighthouse women are not for the faint of heart. Stunning photographs from throughout history accompany accounts of the dramatic torching of Puysegur Point, one of NZ’s most inhospitable lighthouses; ‘haunted’ lighthouses in across the US and their tragic tales; lighthouse accidents and emergencies around the world; and two of the world’s most legendary lighthouse women: Ida Lewis (US) and Grace Darling (UK), who risked their lives to save others. The book also explores our dual perception of lighthouses: are they comforting and romantic beacons symbolizing hope and trust, or storm-lashed and forbidding towers with echoes of lonely, mad keepers? Whatever our perception, stories of women’s courage and dedication in minding the lights — then and now — continue to capture our imagination and inspire.

A unique illustrated exploration of our favorite oceanic beacons and their haunted histories. There is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses. These precariously perched structures have been the homes and workplaces of keepers whose romantic guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas. While that way of life may have faded away, as the lights go out and the buildings crumble, we still have their stories. This collection of more than thirty tales spans the heights and depths of human experience: the blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, the intrepid young woman saving ships from wreck beginning at just age twelve, the desperate plight of a crew cut off for forty days with meager supplies, the lighthouse haunted by the clacking sound of a long-passed keeper’s ghostly typewriter. Interweaving literary inspiration and elements from Jules Verne, Virginia Woolf, and Edgar Allan Poe and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, nautical charts, maps, architectural plans, and curious facts, these illuminating stories will transport the reader in a book as full of wonder as the far-flung lighthouses themselves. QUIRKY STORIES AND A LITERARY APPROACH: Fascinating stories and anecdotes about each lighthouse include such features as notable inhabitants (Virginia Woolf), tantalizing on-site discoveries (Edgar Allen Poe’s unfinished writings), and weird twists, such as a never-before-seen species made extinct by a lighthouse keeper’s cat (Tibbles). UNIQUELY ILLUSTRATED: The gorgeous pointillistic full-page illustrations, equally beautiful location maps, and detailed building diagrams make this a distinctive celebration of these fascinating structures and their places in the world. AN ARMCHAIR TOUR OF LIGHTHOUSES AROUND THE WORLD: The thirty+ stunning lighthouses featured include: Adziogol Lighthouse: Rybalche, Kherson Oblast (Ukraine) Amédée Lighthouse: Amédée, Nouméa, New Caledonia (France) Bell Rock Lighthouse: Inchcape Rock, Arbroath, Scotland (UK) Buda Lighthouse: Buda Island, San Jaime de Enveija, Tarragona (Spain) Eddystone Lighthouse: Eddystone Rocks, Rame Head, Plymouth (UK) Evangelistas Lighthouse: Evangelistas Islets, Natales, Última Esperanza (Chile) Great Isaac Cay Lighthouse: Great Isaac Cay, Bimini Islands (Bahamas) Grip Lighthouse: Grip, Kristiansund, Nordmøre, Møre og Romsdal (Norway) Guardafui Lighthouse: Cape Guardafui, Bari, Puntland (Somalia) Klein Curaçao Lighthouse: Klein Curaçao, Curaçao (Netherlands) Lime Rock Lighthouse: Lime Rock, Newport, Rhode Island (USA) Maatsuyker Lighthouse: Maatsuyker Island, Tasmania (Australia) Robben Island Lighthouse: Robben Island, Cape Town (South Africa) Rocher aux Oiseaux Lighthouse: Rocher aux Oiseaux (Bird Rock), Madeleine Islands, Quebec (Canada) Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse: Rubjerg, Hjørring, Jutland (Denmark) San Juan de Salvamento Lighthouse: Isla de los Estados, Patagonia (Argentina) Smalls Lighthouse: Smalls Rocks, Marloes, Pembrokeshire, Wales (UK) Stephens Island Lighthouse: Takapourewa or Stephens Island, Marlborough (New Zealand) Svyatonossky Lighthouse: Svyatoy Nos, Múrmansk Oblast (Russia) Wenwei Zhou Lighthouse: Wenwei Zhou or Gap Rock, Wanshan Archipelago, Hong Kong (China) Perfect for: Readers of quirky history Fans of nautical tales Coastal residents and visitors Armchair travelers Anyone who has ever dreamed of life as a lighthouse keeper Gift giving for Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthday, graduation, or housewarming
