Listen to a chapter

Lars talked about the winters in Gällivare.

This is how the chapter turned out: written the way he tells it, and only from what he actually said. Press Listen, and Eko will read it to you.

The Bob and the Lamppost

From Lars's story · The names have been changed.

Lars told his story in Swedish. The chapter has been translated with AI for this page. It is Eko reading. The voice and the music are made with AI.

The Snow and the Yard

I grew up in Gällivare in Norrland. There were some mountains, a whole lot of nature, a whole lot of snow, and a whole lot of children. We simply played with each other in the snow, went skiing and sledding a lot, and made up lots of things to do. I probably had several best friends who lived in my yard, because there were so many children playing outside.

Down the Hill with Annika

One girl I remember was named Annika. It is a long time ago now and we were very small, but we mostly spent our time playing outdoors. The strongest memory I have of what we did together was that we went riding what we in Norrland call a bob – really a sled that you ride on down a hill.

It was quite a steep hill. I have been and looked at that hill today and I can tell you that I would never ride a bob down it today, it was "completely crazy". I think I must have felt some kind of incredibly high thrill when we went down there. Once we crashed into a lamppost. I do not remember if we hurt ourselves badly, but I remember that we hit that post.

You never talked to your parents about what you did on the sledding hill. It was a complete secret among us children, because otherwise they would have stopped it immediately.

Mom's Small Pancakes

Coming home afterwards was probably surely fantastic. Most often when you got home the food was ready, and Mom had been looking for you for a long time. I suppose you were always a little late when you stepped inside, wet and tired, and it was wonderful to have food.

My mom never made good food, she "just made food". But if I have to pick something, I suppose it was her small pancakes that were the tastiest, the thing that I remember.

How it works

One conversation at a time. A life in stories.

    They talk with Eko when it suits them

    At an easy pace and in their own language. Eko asks one question at a time, listens and remembers what was told last time.

    The memories become chapters

    What they tell becomes chapters you can read, listen to and print. You can always change the text.

Twelve languages

Tell it in the language the memories live in.

Grandma can tell her stories in Arabic and grandpa in Finnish. Eko asks and listens in the storyteller's own language, and the chapters are written in the same language. If you would like to read them in Swedish, you can have them translated.
