Like ''The Emigrants'', ''The New Land'' was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The 1974 American television series '' The New Land'' is loosely based on ''The Emigrants'' and this film. Plot In 1850, Karl Oskar, his wife Kristina, and thei ...

New Lands
{{italic title ''New Lands'' is the second nonfiction book of the author Charles Fort, published in 1923. It deals primarily with astronomical anomalies. Fort expands in this book on his theory about the Super-Sargasso Sea – a place where earthly things supposedly materialize in order to rain down on Earth – as well as developing an idea that there are continents above the skies of Earth. As evidence, he cites a number of anomalous phenomena, including strange " mirages" of land masses, groups of people, and animals in the skies. He also continues his attacks on scientific dogma, citing a number of mysterious stars and planets that scientists failed to account for. Of all of Fort's books, ''New Lands'' is the worst-regarded. His speculations (serious or joking, he does not reveal) concerning continents in the sky and the supposed top-like shape of the Earth have dated considerably. ''New Lands'' is available in Dover Publications Dover Publications, also known as Dover B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
