Robert Ferguson, author of Scandinavians, explores the significance of a national icon in this charming, affectionate history.Turf-roofed and wooden-built, offering fresh air, breathtaking views and peaceful isolation, the wooden cabin home - or hytte - is a crucial part of Norwegian national identity. In 2016, Robert Ferguson and his wife bought a piece of land high up in the Hardangervidda, and on it they built a cabin.As the cabin takes shape, Ferguson learns how native Norwegians have married a new-found urban affluence to their past as a tight-knit rural community-nation, and confronts his own ideas about the dream-tradition of the hytte, drawing an affectionate but unsentimental portrait of Norwegian culture, society and landscape.'Singular and captivating: the pursuit of a dream' Professor John Carey'Illuminating' TLS'An uncompromising journey into the dark cold north, to reveal the warmth that comes from deep community bonds' Tim Ecott\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52343341449504,"sku":"USED178954467X","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mWb0PvFOL.jpg?v=1789192983","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-cabin-in-the-mountains-a-norwegian-odyssey-178954467x-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
