The Formula for Happiness

Maria Berg Reinertsen

The Figures, Thoughts and Coincidences Behind the Prevailing Economic Sense. It is difficult to protest when a Prime Minister says that “we can’t do this because of the interest charges”. In this book, the author looks behind the economic contexts normally taken for granted, and indicates how they are a matter of choice, habit and chance. The book is playful, marvelling and temperamental – a book about economics for non-economists

Haakon & Maud IV

Tor Bomann-Larsen

The fourth volume of Bomann-Larsen’s monumental work about Norway’s first royal couple in modern times begins with the outbreak of the First World War. Europe’s royalty and aristocracy crumble and the Russian Tsar and his family have been executed. King Haakon is still considering abdication. And while the war rages in Europe, two factions at home confront each other in what threatens to become a civil war – a war between Norway’s social classes. Tor Bomann-Larsen (1951–) wields one of Norway’s sharpest and wittiest pens, whether he is writing or drawing. In recent years he has been best known for his epic works chronicling the reign of King Haakon and Queen Maud, and for his biographies of Sigurd Christiansen and Roald Amundsen.

Buddha's Children

Torbjørn Færøvik

This book takes you to the four Buddhist countries of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma, from the greenest hills where the magnificent temples sparkle to the fragrance from the incense which lingers gently above the rooftops. Buddha preached the message of mercifulness. But like many others these countries have a past riddled with war and violence. And they are still struggling with the legacy of the past. The contrast between Buddha’s teachings and real life is often strikingly major. And yet, to travel through these countries is a real pleasure. You will encounter people and landscapes and remember them until your dying day. The journey starts in the noble, golden city of Hanoi and finishes in the far north in Burma, in the legendary Mandalay.

Organisten

Erlend Loe / Petter Amundsen

Who was Shakespeare really? What happened to his manuscripts? And what has this got to do with Oak Island – the treasure island? Erlend Loe has set out into unfamiliar territory. He has met an ordinary Norwegian organist who claims to have the key to one of the greatest treasures the world has ever seen. This treasure hunt is closely connected to the surroundings around William Shakespeare, and the main lead is found in the legendary First Folio edition of the master’s works. Shakespeare is a door to a hidden universe of secret pacts, elaborate code-breaking and ancient symbols. The resting-place for the same priory treasure which is being searched for in The Da Vinci Code, is probably located. We meet a down-to-earth Erlend Loe who at the beginning is sceptical to the claims made by the organist, but as the organist carefully outlines his theories, Loe bursts out, "This is staggering! There is absolutely no doubt about it. Discovery Channel – eat your heart out." If the organist is right, then our understanding of world history must change. Erlend Loe (1969–) is one of Norway's most popular authors.

Haakon & Maud III

Tor Bomann-Larsen

Just eight years after Norway had elected its own king, Europe was plunged into a bloody world war, followed by famine and revolutions. Weather-bound in their mountain retreat, the Norwegian royal couple followed their relations’ struggle for life and death across Europe. What role could a king play at a time when crowns and ermine robes could be bought two a penny? From his unique sources, Tor Bomann-Larsen shows us the inside of a dramatic epoch and human drama. This is the third independent volume of biographies about King Haakon and Queen Maud, covering the period from 1906 to 1918, from the coronation in Nidaros Cathedral to the murders of the Russian Tsar Family in Yekaterinburg.
