Bjørg Vik’s Way

Lars Vik

Few Norwegian authors of the 20th century left more of a mark on their society than Bjørg Vik. In eleven short story collections, five novels and numerous plays, she explored women’s lives and the background to their experience like no other writer. In a warm portrayal of his mother, Lars Vik offers us an honest and intimate portrait of the author, public figure, and private person that was Bjørg Vik, based on her journals, letters and countless conversations with those around her. The book offers a wealth of new information about one of Norway’s most important cultural figures. Between her life and her writing, the book portrays a person of uncommon calibre, who had huge ambition and made an enormous impact. But it also shows the price of success.

The Secret Life of the City

Hanna Bjørgaas

Hanna Bjørgaas is a biologist who spends her days among the penguins and whales in the Antarctic, one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. The tourists she guides pay immense sums to travel there and encounter nature as they will never experience it anywhere else in the world. Or will they? Here is the starting-point for her project: to walk out of her door and take a non-judgemental interest in the nature she encounters over the course of a year. Can she experience nature in the city? The majority of Europe’s population live in towns or densely populated areas, and city nature is the nature most people will encounter. In this book, Bjørgaas tracks down the most fascinating specialist knowledge available to us about the species and nature in cities. But the book is also a declaration of love to the biologists and experts who share their knowledge with commitment and enthusiasm.

Haakon the Hero King
Narrative Non-fiction2021 · 432 pp

Haakon the Hero King

Carl Emil Vogt

This is a book about H7 the symbol, about how King Haakon was able to become the greatest national hero modern Norway has known. When Norway was expected to yield to Nazism, the resistance mustered behind H7. The King’s ‘No!’ has become the stuff of legends since 1940, and King Haakon holds a unique place in Norwegian history. The book draws upon a wealth of sources from both the occupation years and the post-war period. There are countless facets to Haakon 7: the people’s king, the democratically elected king, the communists’ king. At the same time, he is said to have opposed the politicians’ plans to scale back the army before the war, and the Conservatives relied on him when they believed the Labour Party was failing the country. In short, he was everybody’s king.
