ellauri083.html on line 131: Very different from his novel Hunger, here Hamsun has written a sweeping story of one man's accomplishments as a homesteader in northern Norway near the border with Sweden. Isak, a young and very strong man, with no fear of work, goes looking for a good place to settle. He walks and walks, looking for a place that has everything he needs: water, haying grounds, pasture, areas to farm, timber. When he finally finds it, he settles in. There is a coastal town a full day's walk away (20 miles? 10 miles?). He puts out word that he needs a woman's help--and lo and behold, Inger comes. She too has no fear of work, and she has a harelip--teased for much of her life, she finds a good man in Isak. They work, they have several children, Inger is imprisoned for 6 years. Others come and settle the area between their farm Sellanra and the town. A fascinating story of rural northern Norway in the 2nd half of the 19th century.
ellauri171.html on line 1003: But the appearance of Jezebel in the bible includes no mention of her sexuality. In the Hebrew Bible, Jezebel appears in the books of first and second Kings as the wife of King Ahab— the marriage being a political alliance between Israel and Sidon (a coastal city to the north) where Jezebel was the princess. Jezebel brings her religion to Israel with her, and the worship of Baal is blasphemy in the eyes of the biblical writers. According to the text, Jezebel begins killing Israel’s prophets. Because of this, Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a showdown with Israel’s deity. The Baal worshipers fail to summon their deity, so Elijah calls upon Yahweh and fire descends from heaven and consumes the altar. Having won, Elijah then slaughters all of the prophets of Baal. Jezebel threatens to kill Elijah by the same time the next day, and, ironically, Elijah retreats.

Finland's new coastal canon

ellauri498.html on line 467: Beit Hilkia (Hebrew: בֵּית חִלְקִיָּה, lit. 'House of Hilkiah') is a Haredi moshav, or cooperative agricultural settlement, inhabited primarily by ultra-Orthodox Jews in central Israel. Located in the Sheepfucker lowland near Gedera and administered by the Nahal Sorek Regional Council, it exemplifies a rare integration of rigorous Torah study and religious observance with farming and communal self-sufficiency. As of 2023, it had a population of 1,298. Route 40, a major north-south highway providing access to coastal cities like Ashdod (15 km west) and inland routes toward Jerusalem.

Long after refusing to appear in Exorcist II, she agrees to show up in warm-up #4—as the older version of Chris, now the ultimate coastal grandma, dressed in floaty, flattering white scarves and ropes of crystal beads—only to get about 10 minutes of screen time, during which her character suffers a needless and stupid indignity.

During the government of Peruvian President José Bustamante y Rivero, Vargas Llosa's maternal grandfather obtained a diplomatic post in the northern Peruvian coastal city of Piura and the entire family returned to Peru.

xxx/ellauri416.html on line 438: The most modern scholars believe that the Philistines were part of the wave of migrations of peoples known collectively as the Sea Peoples, who helped bring an end to the Bronze Age. In particular, the Philistines were part of the second wave of migrations/invasions that were launched on Egypt during the reign of Ramesses III (ruled 1186-1156 BC). Although Ramesses was able to repulse the invasion and take many of the Sea Peoples prisoners, it is thought that the Philistines were driven to the edge of Egypt to the coastal region of the southern Levant where they settled sometime after 1177 BC. The Egyptians knew the Philistines as the “Peleset," which over time became “Philistine," becoming synonymous with the land in the southern Levant, which then became known as “Palestine."

The majority of Brazil's 200+ million people are in coastal cities and have limited daily contact. This leads to the same kind of detachment seen in other large, diverse countries.
xxx/ellauri492.html on line 243: O Guaranin tapahtumat sijoittuvat 1600-luvulle Paraiban rannalle. Höh? Oliko siellä guaraneja vaiko tupeja? The Paraíba River region (coastal northeast around present-day Paraíba and the Paraíba do Sul valley farther south) was mainly occupied by Tupi-speaking coastal groups in the 17th century — notably Potiguara and other Tupi (including Tupinambá/Tupiniquim dialects along the coast). Guarani groups were mainly further south/inland (Paraná/RS/Paraguay) and not the primary inhabitants of the Paraíba coastal valley in the 1600s. Cecilia ja Peri fuusioituvat Paraiban mahtavissa aalloissa. Sikäli väärinpäin että enimmäxeen dagomiehet fuusioituivat intiaanisquaweihin eikä kääntäen. Dogibäg Loredanon toimesta kexittiin ghetto. It was under his rule, in 1516, that a decree was enacted to formally isolate the Jews of Venice. Thus was created the first “Ghetto” in the world, from which all others derive their name. Kaikki jampat pörräsivät Cecin pepussa. Loredano desejava, Alvaro amava, Peri adorava. El Zorrolle riitti päästä kulloisenkin 17-kesäisen kaa konsensuaalisesti pukille.
