Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 325 Arrived in Sweden

Kevin, Louis and others are going to Stockholm, Sweden, because the address of the Swedish Translation Publishing House is located there, and they have to get in touch with each other first.

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. It is located on the east coast of Sweden, near the Baltic Sea, where Lake Mälaren enters the sea, with beautiful scenery and a famous tourist attraction. The urban area is distributed on 14 islands and a peninsula, and more than 70 bridges connect these islands together, so it enjoys the reputation of “Venice of the North”.

Therefore, Kevin, Louis and others also intend to take a look at the scenery of this famous tourist city in addition to the signing activities.

For Sweden, Kevin doesn’t know much in any world, but as a literary lover, Kevin has seen the works of many Swedish writers, such as the poet and lyrics writer Karl Michael Bellman, novelist and writer. The works of dramatist August Strindberg, novelist Yalma Sederberg and others.

Of course, when it comes to Swedish writers, the most famous is Event Johnson, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Kevin’s first contact with Swedish literature was also from Event Johnson’s “The Story of Ulov”. “begin.

Latis of the Swedish Translation Publishing House is the person in charge of receiving Kevin and others. He was also the one who went to the UK to negotiate the signing of the Swedish copyright of The Collection of All Beings. Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to take charge of everything now.

After receiving the call from Louis, Latis had already made all the preparations. Therefore, when Kevin and others got off the bus at Stockholm International Airport, within 5 minutes of a phone call, Latis appeared with his colleagues.

“Welcome to Stockholm, I am so happy to see you again.” After seeing Kevin and Louis and others, Latis smiled and greeted him. Then they shook hands with each other one by one.

“Dear Mr. Latis, we are also very happy to see you again. Oh, Stockholm is really a beautiful city. I have just stepped into its land and can already feel its enthusiasm and charm.” Kevin said first. .

“Yes. Mr. Latis, we have long heard of the beauty of Stockholm, so we are very happy to be here.” Louis continued.

“Haha. Okay, let me slowly lead you around Stockholm.” Latis said with a smile.

The reason why Latis said this is not because he has a lot of free time, and he can take Kevin and others to visit the scenery of Stockholm at will. But from Stockholm International Airport to the Swedish Translation Publishing House, it almost passes through the entire Stockholm city, so on the way. Regarding the scenery of Stockholm, they can simply watch it again.

“Great, let’s go, we are already looking forward to all this.” Kevin said with a smile.

Therefore, Kevin, Louis and others walked into the commercial vehicle that the other party had prepared long ago under the guidance of Latis. This is a 7-seater commercial car, so we added the people brought by Latis, Just can sit down.

In order to satisfy Kevin and others’ curiosity about Stockholm, the driver also noticeably slowed down along the way.

As the speed of the car slowed down, Kevin and others began to slowly appreciate the elegant and antique style of Stockholm. There is also the prosperity of modern cities. Especially when the car passed through the old city, Kevin saw that there were magnificent palaces, imposing churches and towering minarets, and the narrow streets and lanes showed the style of medieval streets.

As for the new city, there are tall buildings, neat streets, and verdant trees against the sparkling waves. The cars, ships, airplanes, ospreys, and seagulls that race on the ground, sea, and air add infinite vitality to the city, and the satellite cities scattered in the distance give people a sense of smoke and dreams.

“How about it, everyone. Is the view of Stockholm still satisfactory?” Latis asked happily at this time.

“Very beautiful, this is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. To be honest, I have gradually fallen in love with this place. Haha.” Louis said with a smile.

“Yes, Stockholm is really a rich and beautiful city. I’m so happy to be here. Thank you, dear Mr. Latis, you let us enjoy a different scenery during this trip.” Kevin is also happy. Speaking of.

“Well, I think Stockholm will be happy to accept the comments of the two, and at the same time it will always warmly welcome you. Oh, after passing through the front city hall, we will arrive at the address of our translation publishing house for 200 meters. “Latis said with a smile on his face.

Stockholm’s municipal government is located at the eastern end of King’s Island in the city centre. Its symbol is the three golden crowns on the spire of the 105-meter-high tower. As the car moved forward, Kevin appreciated the magnificence of these three crowns and also saw the “Huaxia Palace” and the “Beihai Caotang” near the imperial palace.

Beihai Caotang is a Chinese-style garden built by Kang Youwei, the leader of my country’s Reform Movement, when he was exiled abroad after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898. So after Kevin glanced at Beihai Caotang Garden from a distance, a certain thought in his mind came to mind.

“Mr. Latis, the garden of that Beihai Caotang is really beautiful, and all of it comes from Huaxia.” Kevin said at this time.

This sentence of Kevin surprised Latis, he thought in his heart: Kevin had never been to Stockholm in the future, how could he know that Beihai Caotang came from China?

Therefore, Latis said admiringly: “Mr. Kevin is really amazing. At a glance, you can know that Beihaitang came from Huaxia Yes, it is said that it was the leader of the Huaxia State Reformation School Kang Youwei in the 1st Movement of 1898. It was built when the reform failed and was here in exile.”

“Kevin, I didn’t expect you to be really knowledgeable, and you know that.” When Latis said this, Louis also gave Kevin a thumbs up admiringly.

“Haha, when I read foreign literature, I occasionally learn a little bit. However, if I have time, I really want to go there and see it.” Kevin said deeply.

This is a garden from China, so Kevin also wants to experience everything about it up close. After all, in his mind, in addition to the memory of the works of the great British writers on earth, he also has a certain kind of unclear homesickness that cannot be erased.

“Of course, I will take you to see it after the signing meeting is over,” Latis promised, patting his chest.

“Then I want to go too, you must take me.” Louis said in a childish tone at this time.

“Well, let’s go together then.”

After speaking, the people in the car laughed in unison. (To be continued.)
