Clearing Out

A Novel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Winner of the Nadia Christensen Prize for translation from the American-Scandinavian Foundation In a masterful blend of fiction and autobiography, a Norwegian novelist sends her character to the far north to learn what she can about their Sami ancestry Inspired by Helene Uri’s own journey into her family’s ancestry, Clearing Out, an emotionally resonant novel by one of Norway’s most celebrated authors, tells two intertwining stories. A novelist, named Helene, is living in Oslo with her husband and children and contemplating her new protagonist, Ellinor Smidt—a language researcher, divorced and in her late thirties, with a doctorate but no steady job. An unexpected call from a distant relative reveals that Helene’s grandfather, Nicolai Nilsen, was the son of a coastal (sjø) Sami fisherman—something no one in her family ever talked about. Uncertain how to weave this new knowledge into who she believes she is, Helene continues to write her novel, in which her heroine Ellinor travels to Finnmark in the far north to study the dying languages of the Sami families there. What Ellinor finds among the Sami people she meets is a culture little known in her own world; she discovers history richer and more alluring than rumor and a connection charged with mystery and promise. Through her persistence in approaching an elderly Sami activist, and her relationship with a local Sami man, Ellinor confronts a rift that has existed between two families for generations. Intricate and beautifully constructed, Clearing Out offers a solemn reflection on how identities, like families, are formed and fractured and recovered as stories are told. In its depiction of the forgotten and the fiercely held memories among the Sea (sjø) Sami of northern Norway, the novel is a powerful statement on what is lost, and what remains in reach, in the character and composition of contemporary life.

American Drawings and Watercolors in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

John Singer Sargent

By: Stephanie L. Herdrich,John Singer Sargent,Helene Barbara Weinberg,Marjorie Shelley,Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)

The Museum's collection illuminates all aspects of Sargent's career. The drawings and watercolors in particular reflect his activity outside the portrait studio: his sojourns in Spain, Morocco and elsewhere in North Africa, and in the Middle East; his enduring fascination with Venice; his holidays in the Italian lake district and the Alps; his tours of North America, including Florida and the Rocky Mountains; his visit as an official war artist to the western front in 1918; and his work as a muralist at the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Harvard University's Widener Library."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Access and Cartel Cases

Ensuring Effective Competition Law Enforcement

By: Helene Andersson

This book examines the legislative patchwork surrounding access to the European Commission's cartel case files. Recent legislative changes have increased the value of the files and have also highlighted the inherent tension between a number of competing interests affecting their accessibility. The Commission is undoubtedly caught between a rock and a hard place, charged with the task to ensure due process, transparency and effectiveness while at the same time promoting both public and private enforcement of the EU competition rules. The author considers how best to ensure a proper balance between the legitimate, but often diverging interests of parties, third parties and national competition authorities in these cases. The book provides a unique and comprehensive presentation of the EU legislation and case law surrounding access to the Commission's cartel case files. The author examines the question of accessibility from three different perspectives: that of the parties under investigation, cartel victims, and national competition authorities. The author also considers the EU leniency system and whether any legislative changes could make the attractiveness of the system less dependent on the possibilities of cartel victims to access the evidence contained in the Commission's case files.

Public Wrongs, Private Actions

Civil Lawsuits to Recover Stolen Assets

By: Jean-Pierre Brun,Pascale Helene Dubois,Emile van der Does de Willebois,Jeanne Hauch,Sarah Jais,Yannis Mekki,Anastasia Sotiropoulou,Katherine Rose Sylvester,Mahesh Uttamchandani

Over the last decade, the topics of corruption and recovery of its proceeds have steadily risen in the international policy agenda, with the entry into force of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) in 2005, the Arab Spring in 2011, and most recently a string of scandals in the financial sector. As states decide how best to respond to corruption and recover assets, the course of action most often discussed is criminal investigation and prosecution rather than private lawsuits. But individuals, organizations, and governments harmed by corruption are also entitled to recover lost assets and/or receive compensation for the damage suffered. To accomplish these goals of recovery and compensation, private or 'civil' actions are often a necessary and useful complement to criminal proceedings. This study explores how states can act as private litigants to bring lawsuits to recover assets lost to corruption.

Functional Somatic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents

A Stress-System Approach to Assessment and Treatment

By: Kasia Kozlowska,Stephen Scher,Helene Helgeland

This open access book sets out the stress-system model for functional somatic symptoms in children and adolescents. The book begins by exploring the initial encounter between the paediatrician, child, and family, moves through the assessment process, including the formulation and the treatment contract, and then describes the various forms of treatment that are designed to settle the child’s dysregulated stress system. This approach both provides a new understanding of how such symptoms emerge – typically, through a history of recurrent or chronic stress, either physical or psychological – and points the way to effective assessment, management, and treatment that put the child (and family) back on the road to health and well-being.

American Hostage

A Memoir of a Journalist Kidnapped in Iraq and the Remarkable Battle to Win His Release

By: Micah Garen,Marie-Helene Carleton

A rare and powerful story of hope, love, survival,and the struggle to bring back alive a hostage in Iraq Micah Garen and Marie-Hélène Carleton were journalists and filmmakers working in Iraq on a documentary about the looting of the country's legendary archaeological sites, with their Iraqi translator Amir Doshi. In the late summer of 2004, they began to wrap up their work, and Marie-Hélène returned home while Micah remained for a final two weeks of filming. As Micah and Amir were filming in a Nasiriyah market, something went horribly wrong: Micah, who wore a bushy mustache and was dressed in Iraqi clothing, was unmasked as a foreigner and kidnapped by militants in southern Iraq. Home in New York, Marie-Hélène awoke to a gut-wrenching phone call from Micah's mother with word of his abduction. She promised Micah's mother the impossible--that together they would bring Micah back alive. American Hostage is the remarkable memoir of Micah Garen's harrowing abduction and survival in captivity, as well as the heroic and successful struggle of Marie-Hélène; Micah's sister, Eva; along with family and friends to win Micah's and Amir's release from their captors. The world watched and waited as Micah's drama unfolded, but the authors, now safely home and engaged to be married, detail the dramatic untold story. After learning of Micah's abduction, Marie-Hélène took a risky and unusual step: instead of relying on the authorities to rescue Micah, she used her recent experience in Iraq to construct a massive grassroots effort to reach out to Micah's captors and plead for his release. As fighting between Coalition forces and the Mahdi Army raged in Najaf, Micah and Amir became pawns in a terrible political game. The kidnappers released a video threatening to kill Micah unless the United States withdrew from Najaf within forty-eight hours. In response, Marie-Hélène's and Micah's families redoubled their efforts, eventually sending a representative to Nasiriyah to lobby for Micah. While Marie-Hélène worked on his release, Micah, imprisoned alongside Amir under armed guard deep in the marshes of southern Iraq, lived the nightmare of a hostagehaunted by the alternating impulses of hope and despair, his desire for survival and plans of escape. His experience reveals a great deal about the lives and minds of militants in southern Iraq. American Hostage is an engrossing and rare story of how hope, love, and communal effort can overcome war, distance, and cultural differences in Iraq.

Menopause

What You Can Do to Empower Your Life from Someone Who's Been There and Done it

By: Helene B. Leonetti

As a registered nurse, Dr Helene Leonetti recalls having to stand and offer her chair to the doctor when he entered the room. Her journey from that day to this has been a long one and not without almost overwhelming trials. During her transition from nurse to physician to holistic and herbal healer, Dr Leonetti was brought to her knees by a life-threatening depression, which occurred synchronistically during menopause. Struggling out of the darkness, Dr Leonetti turned her time of menopause into a hallowed, precious phase of spiritual growth. She now offers others the lighted pathway to their own healing and self-empowerment. Dr Leonetti has a way of loving unconditionally and leading her patients toward practical control of their own body-mind-spirit health. Funny, touching and practical, this book is a must read for women of all ages and for the men and women who love them.

Trouble

By: Helene Uri

À sa mort, Karsten Wiig ne compte presque plus de proches dans son entourage : six personnes seulement assistent à ses obsèques. Parmi elles, curieusement, se tient le célèbre magistrat Edvard Frisbakke, réputé pour son sens infaillible de la justice. Lui qui a toujours été si sûr de sa capacité à distinguer le mal du bien afin de rendre le monde meilleur a fait basculer la vie du défunt, vingt ans plus tôt. Bien des années auparavant, Karsten vit avec Marianne. Mariés, deux enfants, ils s’aiment malgré les difficultés du quotidien, jusqu’à ce que Marianne découvre que Karsten l’a trompée. Tout vole alors en éclats, la confiance est brisée, à tel point que Marianne ne sait plus vraiment qui est son mari... Peut-on être sûr de connaître celui qu’on aime ? À quel moment la confiance dans un couple est-elle remise en question ? Traduit du norvégien par Alex Fouillet
