A very interesting cultural encounter and stunning experience, for sure!<br /> I love to read about this kind of events, even I do not know to much about finnish writers. From '80, in my library, I have a volume of considerations over scandinavian literature, a book named "Scandinavian Spring". There I first read about the "Poems" (from 1916), by Edith Södergran, the known Swedish-speaking Finnish poet. Sometimes I like to make some mentions in my posts and to use lyrics as motto for my essays. Literature is amazing, as well the history and the visual arts! I look forward to read more on your posts and to update my knowledge, finding out new things and learning more about.<br />Best regards and have a lovely week!Alexa Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703682243445912749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972646652234569440.post-31116558126878980232017-01-23T17:06:11.985+02:002017-01-23T17:06:11.985+02:00That sure sounds exciting literature feast.That sure sounds exciting literature feast.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325697671806865458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972646652234569440.post-40434122437304429312017-01-23T16:31:31.059+02:002017-01-23T16:31:31.059+02:00Thank you Sallie & Tammy.
