This book appears at a time when there is tremendous local, regional and international interest in the 19th century emancipation in the West Indies. That event occured in the U.S. Virgin Islands - the erstwhile Danish West Indies - on July 3, 1848. Jensen’s fascinating new book takes up where the story of slavery leaves off and where the hard road to freedom begins. Employing previously unused material from Danish archival and administrative sources, Jensen traces the ex-slaves’ journey from servitude, through new-serfdom and revolt on the sufar- and cotton-producing estates where they had previously been slaves, to their emergence as an autonomous labor movement in the early 20th century.

Andersen, the world famous Danish writer of stories and fairy tales for children and adults, loved to travel. And travel he did often, both within Denmark and to many European countries. In 1841, 36 years old and on his way to becoming a famous writer, he traveled to Greece and Turkey. In those days with trains in their infancy and before the invention of the automobile and airplane, he traveled by coach, by ship, on foot, and on horseback. Andersen, a man with a keen eye for both the sublime and the mundane, notes in his diary kings nad consuls as well as shopkeepers and shepherd, revealing the fine talents of observation and description of human nature that have earned him universal fame and affection.

The eighteen months at the dawn of the seventeenth century when these two men (Kepler and Brahe) worked and lived together in Prague would mark the transition from medieval to modern science, but theirs was one of the most emotionally fraught and contentious collaborations in scientific history. Indeed, apart from their genius and love of astronomy, the two could hardly be more different. For four hundred years it was believed that Brahe died of natural causes. In fact, recent forensic analysis of remnants of his hair reveal that he was murdered, systematically poisoned. And all the answers as to motive, means, and opportunity point directly to one suspect: Johannes Kepler.

For fourteen thousand years, people have hunted, grown food, built, struggled and loved in what is today called - Sweden. The way this once so barren area at the edge of northern Europe’s ice cover became one of the richest and most developed countries in the world, is told in this book. The author writes the history of this country, where war has often been the normal state of affairs, where peace has been the exception, and of its people who have survived all difficulties, who have never ceased to dream and who today are involved in planning the future of Europe. Easy to follow and captivating, Lindqvist gives us political history in a light, narrative form.
