"From Here and There" - Ewa Danela Burdon MojaNorwegia
We are delighted to present on mojanorwegia.pl a unique book that is sure to touch the hearts of many Poles living by the fjords – "From Here and There" by Ewa Danela Burdon. This is an extremely personal, emotional, and uncensored story that intriguingly connects Polish and Norwegian experiences, making it an ideal read for our community.
What is "From Here and There"?
Ewa Danela Burdon's book is a fascinating, at times dramatic, and at other times inspiring journey through life. The author, whose blood is a mix of Polish anarchy, German discipline, and French arrogance, has lived in Norway for over 40 years, and it is there, by the fjords, that much of her story unfolds.
As she announces in the introduction, the reader becomes a witness to her "fall from hero to zero and the arduous journey back from zero to...?" This is not a typical, polished biography. It is an honest record of struggle, successes, and failures, drawing inspiration from the first sentences written in a turquoise diary four decades ago by a lost but hopeful Ewa.
