В этой статье я вернусь к вопросу об областях Скандинавии, в которых нордический тип сохранился в наиболее чистом виде.
Из английского перевода Гюнтера сделанного впервые издательством «Methuen And Company» в 1927г. я делаю вывод, что перевод Гюнтера на русский под редакцией Авдеева – не полный.
Что именно отсутствует в русском переводе?
NORWAY is predominantly Nordic, except for the districts inhabited by the Lapps, who are predominantly Inner Asiatic, with an East Baltic and Nordic admixture. There is sometimes in Norway, as also in Sweden, a dash of Inner Asiatic blood in the non-Lappish population. There is something of the Alpine race in the islands of the west coast from Bergen to about Drontheim; Alpine, too, apparently, is a region between the Sogne Fjord and the Nord Fjord. But the largest region with an Alpine (and, it would seem, slight East Baltic) admixture lies along the Norwegian south-west and south coast; it starts in the north near Haugesund, and runs through Stavanger, always along the coast, to Kristianssand in the east. Behind Stavanger, however, it runs back far into the mountains. The mentality of the inhabitants of this district always strikes other Norwegians as peculiar. The relatively purest Nordic population of Norway lies in the Öster, Gudbrand, and Nume valleys, and also in the Telemark district, and in the Sete valley. The thickly wooded Tryssil district on the Swedish frontier has a predominantly East Baltic population; Ripley even ascribes to it a certain ‘Mongolian’ look. But we have here predominantly East Baltic immigrants from Finland (Quanes).
SWEDEN. If we except the districts settled by Lapps and Finns, to whom, as in Norway, a certain Inner Asiatic and East Baltic strain in the population is due, Sweden is perhaps still more Nordic than Norway, and, therefore, the relatively purest Nordic land of all. There is an evident admixture, however, of Alpine race in the people of the two most southerly provinces; and an East Baltic strain can be noticed everywhere. The Nordic race seems at its purest in the provinces about Lake Vetter (Värmland, Örebrolän, Skaraborgslän, Jönköpingslän, Kronobärgslän), then in Härjedal, Jämtland, and Dalarna. Sweden has a brachycephalic average of 13 per cent. It can, therefore, be understood why science has always been inclined to look on Sweden as the true home of the Nordic race. Owing to the relations with Finland a good deal of East Baltic blood has soaked through from there, while on the other hand, much more Nordic blood has flowed from Sweden to Finland. We may, perhaps, take the Swedish blood to be over 80 per cent. Nordic, the Norwegian blood about 80 per cent.
Как мы видим, перечисление наиболее нордических областей Норвегии и Швеции в английском переводе шире. В Норвегии к списку прибавляются долины Nume и Sete, а также провинция Telemark. В Швеции – лёны(области) Херьедал, Вермланд, Эребру(Örebrolän), Скараборг, Иёнчёпинг, Крунуберг(Kronobärgslän).
Как мы видим, нордический ареал в Скандинавии, в соответствии с англ переводом, существенно расширен и уточнён. Остаётся только гадать по каким причинам редакция Авдеева умолчала такую интересную информацию в своём издании.
