Russians on Svalbard
Narrative Non-fiction2026 · 224 pp

Russians on Svalbard

Per Arne Totland

The hybrid war over Svalbard is in full swing. For almost a hundred years, there have been Russian settlements on the Norwegian archipelago, but never before has the Russian-Norwegian neighborhood at 78 degrees north been more challenging. Russia's strategy for Svalbard is currently being controlled from the top in Kremlin, and it is more offensive than ever. The Russian presence in this part of Norway is to be strengthened. For the first time, extremely wealthy Russian oligarchs are being encouraged to invest in Svalbard. And for the first time, countries such as China, India, Brazil and Iran are being invited to be Russia's partners on Norwegian territory. Norwegian control and authority over Svalbard is being challenged. The more than a hundred-year-old Svalbard Treaty, which gave Norway sovereignty over the archipelago, is being used as a weapon against Norway. Behind this lies the increasingly threatening geopolitical situation between Russia and the West. In the event of a military conflict in the Arctic, Svalbard will be in the middle of the fire. Russians on Svalbard shed light on Russian Svalbard policy under Vladimir Putin, and how it has become more aggressive after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The book analyses the consequences this has for Norway's most vulnerable territory.

Victory or Death!

Thomas Aune / Aleksander Schau

Victory or Death! is the book that reminds you why you fell in love with the World Cup in the first place. With wit, passion and a sharp eye for the absurd, Thomas Aune and Aleksander Schau dive into ninety-five years of football’s greatest theatre – from the glorious to the ridiculous. This is not a book about tactics and formations, but about everything that makes the World Cup larger than sport itself: mafia threats and dictators, vanishing trophies and divine heroes. From Pelé and Maradona to the forgotten anti-heroes of the game, Victory or Death! captures the madness, mythology and magic that have defined the world’s biggest sporting event. Told with humour, knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, it’s a love letter to football and to all its beautiful flaws.

Self-Worth – A Journey of Coming Home

Cecilie Benneche

Self-Worth – A Journey Home by Cecilie Benneche You can only belong to the world when you belong to yourself. To feel at home in yourself is to belong — not only to others, but to your own life. Yet many of us spend years feeling like strangers to ourselves. In this compassionate and insightful book, psychologist Cecilie Benneche describes low self-esteem as a form of homelessness: we lose our sense of self and feel unsafe in relation to others, trapped in constant comparison and self-doubt. Life becomes a competition with filled with questions like – Am I good enough? Do I measure up? With warmth and clarity, Benneche explores perfectionism, performance pressure, and the inner critic that keeps us small. Her message is simple yet powerful: self-worth can be reclaimed. You’ll learn to recognize the mechanisms that hold you down, understand where they come from, and find the courage to meet yourself with kindness instead of judgment.

The Finals

Eirik Grasaas-Stavenes

A travelogue of a tournament under pressure and a nation in crisis. Yes, we loved America. During the 1994 World Cup, eight-year-old Eirik Grasaas-Stavenes hung a poster of the bohemian American center-back Alexi Lalas on his bedroom wall. America represented freedom, democracy, and dreams. Thirty-two years later, the tournament is once again hosted on American soil, Norway has qualified for the first time since 1998, and Grasaas-Stavenes – now a US correspondent for the Norwegian daily Klassekampen – returns to a superpower where everything has been turned upside down. The country we once looked up to has become a threat to Norway and Europe. Lies have been exposed, old heroes have faltered, and Alexi Lalas has become one of Donald Trump's loyal supporters. What had happened to the country so many Norwegians loved? What kind of America was Norway returning to? And through football, could one find not just warnings of how terribly wrong things could go, but also hope and solutions to save our own democracies and communities? Eirik Grasaas-Stavenes has covered the United States for fifteen years. In this travelogue, written leading up to and during the World Cup in the US, he tracks down old heroes, maps out the concentration of power among oligarchs, and depicts the rise of economic inequality that threatens what was once considered the world's most powerful democracy. Yet on his World Cup journey, he also finds resistance, hope, and historic political shifts that could change both the United States and the entire world forever.

Trauma – The Price We Pay to Survive

Trauma – The Price We Pay to Survive

Mari Kjølseth Bræin

When safety is lost, survival takes over. We adapt by becoming invisible, controlled, strong on the outside while turmoil brews within. These adaptations help us endure, but they come at a cost: tension in the body, self-blame, shame, and the persistent feeling of never being truly safe, even when the danger is long gone. In Trauma – The Price We Pay to Survive, clinical psychologist Mari Kjølseth Bræin explores how attachment wounds and trauma shape the brain, body and nervous system and how we can begin to heal. With warmth and clarity, she shows how early experiences of fear, neglect, or broken bonds continue to echo through adult life, influencing our choices, our relationships, and the way we see ourselves. This is a book about how we survive and how, slowly, we can learn to live again.
