Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique perspective on life in Lapland during the mid-19th century. The author, a clergyman who lived for several years among the indigenous Sami people, explores a period of religious and social upheaval. During a time when much of the Sami population was leaving their traditional nomadic lifestyle for Christianity, a charismatic religious leader named Lars Levi Laestadius emerged, inciting a period of intense religious fervor. The author witnessed the resulting division within Sami communities and offers invaluable insights into the power of religious belief, community, and tradition.
