Скачать книгу - Strangers in the Sauna

Hiiumaal Kardla linnas asub kahekordne hall maja, saun-voorastemaja. Neljakumne aasta valtel oli see koht, kus hiidlased said pesta ihu ja puhastada hinge. Lahiajaloo maletamiseks puudsin enam-vahem reaalselt kirjutada seal toimunust. Lisaks linnasaunas toimunule sai kirja pandud ka olukord saunadest Hiiumaal. Lugejat ei tohiks segada, et kirjutatud on peamiselt Hiiumaa saunadest. Samasugust suhtumist sauna voib leida igas Eestimaa nurgas. Seda raamatut lugedes voib monelgi mehel tekkida igatsus oma sauna jarele. Siit ei leia opetust, kuidas sauna ehitada – selleks on teised raamatud. Minu poolt oleks ainult uks opetus: vaadake koiki saunasid ja siis otsustage ise, millist soovite. Peale teist kutmist olete veendunud, et see tuli parim. Niikaua, kuni suitsevad Eestimaal saunade korstnad, elab ka eestlane, tema visadus ja huumor. Huva leili! Raamatu autori Agu Takise esikromaan „Harrana sundinud“ ilmus 2011. aastal ning usna pea tuli sellele tehe ka teine trukk. Kaesolevas raamatus suveneb autor saunakultuuri laiemalt ning raagib erinevatest saunadest sojavaes, saunaskaikudest parteibossidega voi soomlastega. Ja seda koike labi monusa Hiiu huumori.

A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded readers. Retold for Learners of English by Clare West. On a stormy winter night, a stranger knocks at the door of a shepherd’s cottage. He is cold and hungry, and wants to get out of the rain. He is welcomed inside, but he does not give his name or his business. Who is he, and where has he come from? And he is only the first visitor to call at the cottage that night… In these three short stories, Thomas Hardy gives us pictures of the lives of shepherds and hangmen, dukes and teachers. But rich or poor, young or old, they all have the same feelings of fear, hope, love, jealousy…

In 1987 Michael Harrold went to North Korea to work as English language adviser on translations of the speeches of the late President Kim Il Sung (the Great Leader) and his son and heir Kim Jong Il (then Dear Leader and now head of state). For seven years he lived in Pyongyang enjoying privileged access to the ruling classes and enjoying the confidence of the country’s young elite. In this fascinating insight into the culture of North Korea he describes the hospitality of his hosts, how they were shaken by the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and many of the fascinating characters he met from South Korean and American GI defectors to his Korean minder and socialite friends. After seven years and having been caught passing South Korean music tapes to friends and going out without his minder to places forbidden to foreigners, he was asked to leave the country.
