Hall Of Mirrors
AvStein Riverton

Skickas
He was not miserable when he arrived, not as miserable as I wished. I adore wretched people. There is something fiercely interesting in deep despair, in the wringing of hands at the irreparable, in howling upon the brink of suicide. Then one truly learns human nature; one may blend one's personality with life's delicious fever. I am not raving; I speak quite naturally. Not every woman can seek consolation in religious ecstasy. A dead body is found in an empty house in one of the grandest areas of Oslo. Not only dead, but in disguise, wearing a false beard and a monocle. It now lies with blood dripping on a polar bear rug, the white fur reflecting the heavy snow falling over the city during the night. The police detectives Krefting and Kjeldsen start their enquiries, and as they unravel this conjuring trick, they end up hobnobbing with the jet set in Oslo. The centre of the high life is The Hall of Mirrors at the Grand Hotel, and there in the middle of the crowd, drinking champagne, is the scandalous socialite Viviana. The police know she loves a bluff, is sly, and above all, she wants to create a sensation. If she could involve herself in a spectacular crime, she would be in raptures, already dreaming of what she would wear in the witness-box.

"When the hymn swells heavily through the room, it is as if I am sleeping and only dreaming all that has happened since it happened; the war, the disgrace. But still, through it all I see the compassionate eyes of the Madonna and the gleam in her golden hair, and sometimes I think that I have seen a little of that compassion in a human being." The Great War is ending . A band of battle-worn soldiers flee across a burning Ukraine, riding at full speed towards the west from the collapsing Eastern Front. They carry a stolen icon-the mysterious Blue Madonna, and hold a secret that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Years later the Madonna resurfaces-this time in a quiet villa outside Oslo. Soon after, one of the men who once escaped Olesko is found dead beneath her gaze.

"That sound of wheels, gradually stifled by the forest until it faded away, brought back one of the strange little incidents of the previous night: my meeting with the fisherman. I recalled that he, too, had come from the moor, and like me had stood listening to the sound of distant, rolling wheels. But what was it he spoke of? The Iron Chariot... I saw him before me again, standing in the dark, small, hunched, shaking his head at my question: Who owns the Iron Chariot? "Yes, who owns it," he had said". Summertime, and at a small seaside guesthouse, living is easy. The guests sit on the veranda and recharge their batteries before the city's hustle starts again. One of them is the narrator, an author, who loves the ladies and has set his sights on the squire's sister: Hilde of Gj?rnes Manor. One evening, he sets out to woo her, but is surprisingly turned away at the gates. Returning to the guesthouse through the forest, he suddenly hears a deafening, ghostly clanging sound. It is the iron carriage in which old landowner Gj?rnes drove himself to death. According to legend, the sound of the iron carriage means one thing: someone will die"

NIMBY-Not in My Backyard-is a critical factor determining what gets proposed and built in virtually all representative democracies. It shapes industries, landscapes, and communities anywhere elected or appointed officials approve projects, and residents exert political power to influence decisions. It's a concept as relevant in Boston as it is in Bergen, in Los Angeles as in Lofoten "This thoughtful exploration of Norway's NIMBY battles offers universal lessons and best practices relevant everywhere. It's a timely guide for navigating community dynamics and achieving projects that benefit both developers and the communities they serve." Patrick F. Fox, CEO of Consensus Strategies, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA 'We want cheap, clean energy, but we don't want power plants. We want a green transition, but not wind turbines and mines. A new book challenges Norwegian double standards on environmental and climate measures. Elisabeth Gammels?ter believes it has become tougher to be a politician, thus the "not in my backyard' attitude is challenging Norwegian democracy.' Ole Magnus Rapp, journalist, Klassekampen "Access to minerals is becoming increasingly important. This book highlights the challenges stakeholders encounter when developing the minerals essential for global needs. I hope this book will raise awareness about the importance of minerals in producing critical products for the green transition." Ole Christian Sels?s, Chairman of the Board, Norwegian Mineral Industry, Elkem Silicon Products 'This is an important book. It is provocative in a good way.' Steinar Ellefmo, Professor, Department of Geoscience, NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology "Double standards are not the same as standards that are twice as good! In her insightful book, Elisabeth Gammels?ter illustrates the potential consequences when we fail to balance the tension between our aspiration for self-sufficiency in minerals and energy, and the understandable concerns of local communities about changes to their environments." M?rten Solhman, CEO SBMI - Swedish Aggregates Producers Industry Association This book has one important message: Project developers planning unpopular projects that affect "neighbourhoods" should take communication about the facility very seriously throughout the entire process'. Halfdan Carstens, journalist, Geo365.no
