Learn Swedish with Bilingual Books: Vid kaffekoppen [Swedish]

By Maria Nyström

This play takes place in a Swedish-speaking rural community in Finland at the beginning of the 20th century. Almost all of it unfolds around a kitchen table, where two women talk about marriage, work, alcohol and respectability, and how far a wife must go to keep her home together.

The dialogue is simple but rich in meaning, making it suitable for readers who want to expand their vocabulary around family, work, and social issues while practicing bilingual reading.

It was written by Maria Nystr m (1854-1937), a Finland-Swedish teacher and writer who published short plays and pamphlets on everyday morality, temperance and women's responsibilities in the home.

Pj sen utspelas i en svenskspr kig bygd p den finl ndska landsbygden i b rjan av 1900-talet. Allt sker kring k ksbordet, d r tv kvinnor talar om ktenskap, arbete, sprit och anseende, och om hur l ngt en hustru m ste g f r att h lla ihop sitt hem.

Dialogen r enkel men inneh llsrik, och l mpar sig v l f r l sare som vill bygga upp sitt ordf rr d inom mnen som familj, arbetsliv och samh llsfr gor.

Den r skriven av Maria Nystr m (1854-1937), en finlandssvensk l rarinna och f rfattare som skrev korta pj ser och skrifter om vardagsmoral, nykterhet och kvinnans ansvar i hemmet.
