Children of the Soil a Story of Scandinavia
(En el libro se reconstruye, a través de testimonios perso...)
En el libro se reconstruye, a través de testimonios personales e investigaciones, la historia inédita de Buen Retiro, ubicada en el norte del departamento de Santa Cruz. La segunda parte traduce la historia por una genealogía familiar camba, rastreándola desde sus raíces rurales campesinas, a su salto a la vida profesional urbana cruceña, llegando hasta una nueva generación que, gracias a la globalización, mantiene enlaces con sus orígenes. Por último, he incluido algunos de mis relatos literarios, sobre Ramón Cowell, sacerdote; Pedro Shimose, amigo y poeta; Charles Dickens y Gabriel García Márquez, el otro. Intentado iluminar cada retrato con mis propias reflexiones refrescantes y humanistas. Dice Shimose en su prólogo ""es más que una autobiografía o un libro de memorias (...) Buen Retiro es la crónica del clan Burgos, poblada de personajes extraordinarios, exploradores y fundadores de pueblos, intrépidos, simpáticos, voluntariosos, pintorescos, mujeres fuertes y bravas, curas misioneros llegados de otros mundos, hombres tenaces enfrentados a la adversidad, titanes en lucha a brazo partido con la naturaleza salvaje, el hambre, las enfermedades y la ignorancia".

The Gate Swings In: a story of Sweden
( Minda is an orphan, taken in by her practical and less-...)
Minda is an orphan, taken in by her practical and less-than-enthusiastic Aunt Karin. Minda and her crafty goat, Stor Geta, struggle to find a place to call home—and to get the money her aunt insists she must earn for her school clothes and shoes. She tries being a servant and house-help, an entrepreneur, even a herd-girl up on the mountains, but nothing comes easy. And yet there is much joy and adventure. She meets a young widow, the Mistress of Dalstorp, and together they face the world until at last they win through and find each other. The Gate Swings In captures the mood, culture and wisdom of the Swedish folk. It is a perfect complement to Nora Burglon’s much loved Danish tale, Sticks across the Chimney.

Sticks across the Chimney: a story of Denmark
( This popular tale is set in rural Denmark at the end of...)
This popular tale is set in rural Denmark at the end of 19th century and captures the mood, customs and beliefs of that time - as well as delving into ancient Viking culture. When young Siri and Erik and their widowed mother buy a deserted farm with an ancient Viking grave mound on the land, they have no idea of the challenges and adventures that await them. First they must use their wits and humor to survive without money, as well as deal with suspicious townspeople. Later they participate in the mysterious and exciting events that lead to the opening of the mound and the discovery of a rich hoard of ancient Viking treasure. Sticks across the Chimney was written out of Nora Burglon's deep personal knowledge of Scandinavia, and is perfectly complemented by her Swedish tale The Gate swings In.
