NAMED BY THE NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION AS A 5 UNDER 35 AUTHOR Vaclav and Lena seem destined for each other. They meet as children in an ESL class in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Vaclav is precocious and verbal. Lena, struggling with English, takes comfort in the safety of his adoration, his noisy, loving home, and the care of Rasia, his big-hearted mother. Vaclav imagines their story unfolding like a fairy tale, or the perfect illusion from his treasured Magician’s Almanac. But one day, Lena does not show up for school. She has disappeared from Vaclav and his family’s lives as if by a cruel sleight of hand. For the next seven years, Vaclav says goodnight to Lena without fail, wondering if she is doing the same somewhere. On the eve of Lena’s seventeenth birthday he finds out. In Vaclav & Lena, Haley Tanner has created two unforgettable young protagonists who evoke the joy, the confusion, and the passion of having a profound, everlasting connection.

Taken in as one of her own by Vaclav's big-hearted mother, Lena might finally be able to blossom; in the naive young magician's eyes, she is destined to be his "faithful assistant"...but after a horrific discovery, the two are ripped apart without even a goodbye.

Om två barns uppväxt och umbäranden som ryska immigranter i New York. Vaclav och Lena träffas som sjuåringar i en Engelska för invandrare-klass i Brooklyn, två ryska immigrantbarn som omgående bestämmer sig för varandra. Vaclav är lillgammal och verbal medan Lena, som lever i misär, söker trygghet i hans kärlek och i hans högljudda, varma hem. Vaclav ser framför sig hur deras gemensamma liv vecklar ut sig som en saga. Men Lenas liv är svartare än Vaclav vet, och en dag kommer hon inte till skolan. Hon har försvunnit ur Vaclavs liv, men under de följande sju åren säger han godnatt till Lena varje kväll utan undantag, och undrar om hon gör samma sak någon annanstans. Kvällen innan Lenas sjuttonårsdag får han svaret. ”Lika värmande som vårens första solstrålar.” Gokväll, SVT ”Det här är en kärlekshistoria med både humor och djup.” Elle ”På ett närvarande sätt berättar Tanner om denna brådmogna och kloka pojke och hans närstående i en intagande kärlekshistoria. Miljöbeskrivningarna är detaljrika och språket enkelt och flytande. Det är gripande, i allra högsta grad realistiskt men också influerat av den magi som Vaclav fascineras av.” Bibliotekstjänst ”Wonderful and wrenching debut.” New York Times

Vaclav e Lena parecem destinados um ao outro. Eles se encontram pela primeira vez aos 6 anos, numa aula de inglês para imigrantes em Brighton Beach, no Brooklyn. Vaclav é precoce e falante. Lena, com dificuldade no idioma, refugia-se na segurança de sua adoração por ela. Ele imagina a história dos dois se desenrolando como em um conto de fadas. No entanto, uma das muitas verdades a serem descobertas nessa extraordinária obra de estreia de Haley Tanner é que “felizes para sempre” nunca é um desfecho garantido. Um dia, Lena não vai à escola. Desaparece da vida de Vaclav e da família dele como num cruel truque de mágica. Durante os sete anos seguintes, Vaclav deseja boa-noite a Lena todos os dias, perguntando-se se ela faz o mesmo onde quer que esteja. No dia do aniversário de 17 anos de Lena, ele finalmente descobre o que aconteceu.

Lena Andersson är en av de vassaste och mest kompromisslösa skribenterna i Sverige idag. Inte minst när hon skriver om religion och relativism. Vilket hon gärna gör. Hennes skärskådande av kyrkans och Guds roll i samhället, liksom trons och postmodernismens påverkan på tänkandet, är obevekligt och väjer inte för de svåraste frågorna kring individens fria val, värden, sanning och statens oberoende. I Förnuft och högmod har Lena Andersson samlat sina skarpaste texter, artiklar ur Dagens Nyheter och tidningen Fokus, samt fyra teaterpjäser om religionens roll i samhället. "Hennes stil är rak och enkel, konkret och nedtonat naken, men ändå förtätad på ett sätt som får hennes ståndpunkter att framstå som självfallna. Det är skickligt, förföriskt och förrädiskt på en och samma gång." Aftonbladet "Som få andra i det offentliga samtalet har kritikern, kolumnisten och författaren Lena Andersson förmågan att borra sig in i tidens centrala nervknut, hitta smärtpunkten i debatternas kökkenmödding." Helsingborgs Dagblad "Lena Andersson tänder med sitt författarskap en logikens låga i ett svart, oljigt, kompakt mörker av oförnuft." Arbetarbladet "I det stundom lama svenska debattklimatet är det uppfriskande att läsa Lena Andersson. Hennes penna är inte bara vass. Den siktar in sig på väsentligheter, som rör samhälle, religion och människans plats på jorden. Man skulle kunna säga att hon är allas vårt bollplank, som finns där med en svidande, rak återstuds – orden återkommer med väl taggad kraft och styrka." Nerikes Allehanda

This open access book is a novel contribution in two ways: It is a multi-disciplinary examination of the indigenous South Saami people in Fennoscandia, a social and cultural group that often is overlooked as it is a minority within the Saami minority. Based on both historical material such as archaeological evidence, 20th century newspapers, and postcard motives as well as current sources such as ongoing land-right trials and recent works of historiography, the articles highlight the culture and living conditions of this indigenous group, mapping the negotiations of different identities through the interaction of Saami and non-Saami people through the ages. By illuminating this under-researched field, the volume also enriches the more general debate on global indigenous history, and sheds light on the construction of a Scandinavian identity and the limits of the welfare state and the myth of heterogeneity and equality.
