Exempel

“Vad Polhem i sina drömmar skådade och i sina skrifter predikade var ett industrialiserat Sverige, rikt och lyckligt av blomstrande fabriker, där landets råvaror förädlades. Det var den utilistiska frihetstidens kungstanke – när den blommade som skönast, publicerades betecknande nog Polhems postuma Patriotiska testamente (1761), i själva verket en liten handbok i järn- och stålförädling.”

What Polhem envisioned in his dreams and preached in his writings was an industrialized Sweden, rich and happy with flourishing factories, where the country's resources were refined. It was the utilitarian core idea of the Age of Liberty – at its peak, fittingly, Polhem's posthumous Patriotic Testament (1761) was published, actually a small handbook on iron and steel refinement.

“– Jag odlar på odlingslotter vid Novia i stället. Både grönsaker och blommor, säger hon. Det blir en hel del sorter, men Gittas kungstanke är att satsa på sådant hon gärna äter. Så det blir potatis, jordärtskockor, morötter, rödbetor, bönor, pumpor, gurkor, jordgubbar, tomater …”

–I cultivate on allotment plots at Novia instead. Both vegetables and flowers, she says. There are quite a few varieties, but Gitte's main idea is to focus on things she enjoys eating. So, there will be potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, carrots, beets, beans, pumpkins, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes...
