In this classic story, Sven Barthel portrays the art of being one with nature - and of moving without an almanac, a clock or fixed plans. "The sailboat is a discovery, the motorboat an invention - therein lies the whole difference", he writes in one of his many accurate formulations. This is probably the best text ever written about sailing.<br/><br/><br/><br/>In this exquisite little book, Sven Barthel's fine text is accompanied by Roland Svensson's fantastic pictures, as well as watercolors and graphic sheets. The result is a beautiful book in a handy format.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Sven Barthel was one of the 20th century's foremost portrayers of sailing and life in the archipelago. He wrote around ten books, many of which have become classics.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Roland Svensson was one of Sweden's most beloved artists. Most of his artistry revolved around islands in general and the Stockholm archipelago in particular.<br/><br/><br/><br/>This book is also available in a Swedish edition - Frihetens instrument.
