Synopsis

In "Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality (Scandinavian)", Charles Morris intricately weaves a collection of narratives that transport readers to the heart of Scandinavian history and folklore. Employing an engaging literary style that oscillates between lyrical prose and vivid storytelling, Morris brings to life the legendary figures and significant events that shaped the Nordic landscape. Contextually, this work aligns itself with the 19th-century fascination for historical romances and national identities, seeking to bridge the gap between myth and history while celebrating the cultural heritage of the Scandinavian peoples. Charles Morris, an esteemed American journalist and historian, possessed a deep-rooted interest in storytelling that was both entertaining and educational. His travels throughout Europe and extensive research into Scandinavian cultures inspired him to compile these tales, each rooted in rich historical context yet embellished with the romanticism of folklore. Morris'Äôs dedication to making history accessible reflects the broader intellectual currents of his time, where history was often rendered through engaging narratives rather than mere facts. "Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality (Scandinavian)" is a must-read for those drawn to history, literature, and culture. Its delightful blend of historical fidelity and narrative charm is sure to captivate readers who seek to uncover the tales of the past while enjoying the artistry of storytelling. This volume is not only a gateway to understanding Scandinavian heritage but also an exploration of the universal themes of love, bravery, and mystique that resonate throughout human history.

    The Night Trains - Moving...

     ON THE NIGHT TRAINS, THE LAST STOP WAS ALWAYS HELL. 
    The price exacted from across the African subcontinent for South Africa’s stalled 20th-century industrial revolution is, in human terms, still largely hidden from history. For half a century, up to the mid-1950s, privately operated trains travelled by night between Ressano Garcia, on the Mozambique border, and Booysens station, in Johannesburg. The night trains carried Mozambicans recruited to work in the mines of the booming Witwatersrand. The up-trains disgorged their human cargo into the maw of the great Rand mining machine, while the down-trains whisked away the time-expired miners – often ill, broken or insane, and preyed on by con men, petty criminals and corrupt officials. While mine labour was recruited from all over southern Africa, Mozambican migrants made up the largest component, and they paid the highest price. 
      
    Charles van Onselen clinically reconstructs the world of the night trains, which were run as a partnership between the mining houses and the railways. By tracing the up and down rail journeys undertaken by black migrants over half a century it is possible to discern how racial thinking, expressed logistically, reflected South Africa’s evolving systems of segregation and apartheid. Mirroring the brutal logic of industrial capitalism, this was a system of transport designed to maximise profit at the expense of the health, well-being and even the lives of those it conveyed. 
    The story of the night trains echoes today through songs such as ‘Stimela’ and ‘Shosholoza’. But the experience of the poverty-stricken Mozambicans who travelled on the trains has never been told. THE NIGHT TRAINS lays bare this hellish world.
