Peter is an amazing musical artist. Among things he's played is 'Chris' in Miss Saigon in London and as the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. A very talented artist.

Thank you so much for the reaction! A lot of Swedish people don't know what a treasure Peter actually is. Perhaps because he actually hit the international musical scene fairly early in his career. He moved to London and later New York, and in both places, he actually played the Phantom, of Opera fame =P. I... totally show my age here, but when Kristina från Duvemåla was running in Stockholm in the late 90s/early 2000s, my bf at the time was working at the theater where it ran (Circus Stockholm, google some pictures, it's very nice) and I was a frequent workplace hang-around. I've seen this musical any number of times (and know the entire 4 hours by heart even now). On Peters's last day, after a few years of playing Robert, there were almost 15 minutes of standing ovations and there were so many flowers on and off stage that there was no way for the WHOLE THEATER CREW to take them all home. It was pretty amazing. Side note, the guy who played Karl-Oskar used to drive a small, yellow BMW and "ugly park" it in an alley close to the theater, that you only pass if you take the boat from downtown to the island where it's located. As I always took the boat, that's how I checked if he was working.

In addendum to my comment, I want to say something about Robert and the added layer of tragedy to this song/his fate. And that is how he was a big driving force behind the family's, and his best friend's, move to the US. Robert was a bit of a dreamer early on and hated how the only prospect he had was to be an abused farmhand (he is at one point hit so hard by the farmer that his ear never stopped ringing. Some chapters of the book are actually called "Robert's ear tells [the story of whatever]"). His schoolmaster actually thought he was a good student, and gave him a book about America, and as Robert had whooping 3 books, the bible, the catechesis (both gifted as confirmation presents to almost all children in Sweden at the time), and this book, he read it all the time and talked about it with just about anyone who would listen, namely his friend Arvid and his big brother. As times got harder and harder for him and the family it was essentially Robert who talked them into going (especially Arvid), or at the very least planting the seed in Karl-Oskar, and helping him talk Kristina into it (there is a song from the musical called Nej/No, that starts out as a song of happiness that Kristina sings about happy she is of her marriage and children, but then shifts into a three-part, two-way argument of Karl-Oskar and Robert trying to win Kristina over in how great America is and would be for her as a woman). To say that the whole ordeal weighs heavy on Robert is an understatement.

Thank you so much for your comments and added information. I should see if there is an English version of the books to read. I like the added information about Robert. I thought there was more complexity there. Very interesting. You were very lucky to have had those experiences. All best wishes from Ontario, Canada!

⁠⁠⁠@@rjjsreactions-rk7zhThere are also two great movies in case you’re interested. ‘The emigrants’ (nominated for 5 Oscars) and ‘The new land’ (another Oscar omination). The books might be even deeper, but the movies are truly epic and should not be missed by someone interested in the subject.

I wonder if they got the idea of gold turning to sand from Fredmans epistel number 81 by Carl Michael Bellman. In that song, about a funeral, it's talked about how gold turns into "gravel". With the context it has to be fine gravel or rather sand.

Formally it's a story about the emigration, but it can also be read as a study in different spiritual strategies towards life and how they play out in the life of each of the characters. A great epos, too bad it's so little known outside Sweden. It's perhaps the most read Swedish adult novel.

@@rjjsreactions-rk7zh yeah... you were actually onto something when you were asking whether Robert, the character who sings this song, made a wise choice going for gold or not. I'd say that the novel says - without actually saying it - that he did, even though it killed his best friends and he himself died young and broken. One has to follow one's nature. "Do ones dharma", as they say. It's even the most important thing of all, according to the vedic scripts, and I'd say that this novel agrees.

This makes me cry every time, Robert convinced Arvid to leave Sweden behind, and then to leave Minnesota to seek their fortunes in the gold rush, he feels so responsible for Arvids death, and also that the gold they did get was swindled from Robert and exchanged for wild cat money, totally worthless when he returned and wanted to provide for Kristina and Karl-Oskar.

Do you have Swedsh ancestry? If you do, have you thought about applying to this Swedish reality show "Allt för Sverige"? The format is sort of like in Survivor, with one person being eliminated in each episode, but it's also much more feel-good and even if you don't make it all the way, you'll leave with an extensive family tree and the contact information to a bunch of Swedish cousins. Funnily enough, the host of "Allt för Sverige" also hosted the Swedish version of Survivor once upon a time. He's a big teddy bear though, so "Allt för Sverige" fits him a lot better.

After burrying his friend, Robert went back to his brothers family, a dying man, and he brought the money with him and gave it to Kristina. But his brother found ot it was worthless false ones and struck a devastated Robert to the gound. Robert thought the money was real all the time. So yes he didn't thought it was worth it.
