Three in Norway, by Two of Them

Set against the dramatic fjords and crystal‑clear lakes of late‑19th‑century Norway, this lively travel memoir follows three companions on a quest for trout, reindeer, and unforgettable scenery. The narrative is anchored by the lank, world‑worn “Skipper,” whose dry humor and reflective musings reveal a man constantly measuring his own successes against the raw grandeur of the landscape. Alongside him, the cheerful and indefatigable “Esau” brings a hearty appetite for both food and adventure, serving as the expedition’s unwitting paymaster and comic foil.

Together they navigate roaring rapids, camp under the aurora, and wrestle with the challenges of remote wilderness travel, all rendered with vivid detail and a wry, observational tone. Their interactions with locals, the occasional mishap on a canoe, and the sheer awe of towering peaks create a portrait of camaraderie that feels both timeless and intimately human. Listeners will be drawn into the crisp mountain air, the crackle of Norwegian fire‑places, and the gentle rivalry that fuels their unforgettable journey.
