The Haugeans

Trygve Riiser Gundersen

The preacher Hans Nielsen Hauge and the followers of the Haugean movement are revered as established heroes in Norwegian history. In 1804 everything looked different. In The Haugeans. The Spirit and the Machine, Trygve Riiser Gundersen takes us back to the era of the revival. Why did the state and the officials react to the religious revival with fear? And where did the fear disappear? The result is a new interpretation of one of the most important phenomena in Norwegian history. But also, an entirely new image of Norway before 1814 – a society characterized by turmoil, oppression, change and resistance.

The history of the boat

Torolf E. Kroglund

While the Covid-19 pandemic led to closed borders and a break lasting well over two years, Torolf E. Kroglund built his own boat – without any experience. It was going to be a rowing boat – a pram. It gets built following a traditional clink-build method, just like the Vikings did and which is now declared a world heritage by UNESCO. At the same time both the author’s and the planet’s health worsen dramatically. Building a boat becomes a way to build a way out. This book looks at the history of the boat, from African migrants who at the dawn of time left the continent by boat, to the present boat migrants, and the complicated culture of the coast. With a personal approach the book digs into the core of what the boat has meant, both internationally and for Norway as a nation. The boat as a specific vessel between land and continent, moving towards freedom and free time – but also in the less literal meaning; the method of communication which carries humanhood. We’re all in the same boat.Contagious storytelling from someone who isn't born with skis on his feet, but with oars in his hands.ADRESSEAVISEN, five/six stars The boat floats, and then some, in Tororlf E.

Help, I’ve Got a Garden

Kenneth Ingebretsen / Tommy Tønsberg

You have a garden for the first time and are picturing green grass, colourful flowerbeds, fragrant herbs and plump vegetables, a hedge that screens you from view, and bountiful fruit trees and berry bushes … and perhaps yourself, soaking up the sun or having a nap in a hammock. But— help! —where do you start? What should you choose from the garden centre’s vast selection in order to succeed? What will thrive in your soil and in your sun and shade conditions? What do you have space for? After all, you don’t want to make any expensive mistakes. Help, I’ve Got a Garden gives you the recipe for creating a green oasis that will please the eye and soothe the soul. A harmonious outdoor space that can survive the winter.

What Do You Feel Now?

Cecilie Benneche

Our emotions are natural, yet we humans have long tended to think and manage ourselves away from them. It seems far from natural to us to experience what we’re actually feeling – or grasp who our emotions are directed at. In this book, you’ll learn to clear away some of the obstacles blocking your emotions and allow your feelings to ‘run off’ on their own, without you having to think about them so much. It will free up your strength and create inner peace.

God Save Our Stuff

Miriam Høvik

In God Save Our Stuff the author Miriam Høvik invites you into the homes of collectors from all over Norway, and into a world of unknown treasures. Here you will meet anything from the woman collecting napkins and the man collecting clocks – to the man collecting wedding dresses, and the group of boys who have started to collect stamps. In this book you can find several of Norway’s largest, craziest, weirdest, and best collections. Some collections are of priceless value, while others have more nostalgic value. All offer unique and exciting stories about Norwegian history and the present time. In God Save Our Stuff you get a rare insight into the people who invest their time and money in a hobby which in some cases is shared with only a handful of people, and even fewer people understand. You’ll definitely be fascinated by all the exciting collections, objects, stories and the lovely people behind the collections.

Scandinavian Christmas

Victoria Dam

Dark green wreaths and Christmas red fruits. Green pizza on the barbecue and orange garlands in the window. Angels made of icing on the tree and breaded Christmas ham on the table. And of course, a gingerbread house in the windowsill. For garden designer and interior design enthusiast Victoria Dam, creativity rises when Christmas approaches. It begins with homemade advent décor, flower arrangements and ornate candles. It continues with edible Christmas ornaments and presents, hot drinks and spiced baked goods. Before it all ends with an abounding table of Christmas foods and, a little later, a tempting table for New Year’s Eve. And like the photographs of Victoria and her twin daughters will show you, many of these activities can be done together with children. In this extensive, inspirational book of ideas and recipes, gorgeously photographed, Victoria Dam shares everything that makes Christmas a cozy and evocative time for the whole family.

Map of Loneliness

Hilde Østby

In March 2020 the world closed down and stayed completely or partly closed for two and a half years. Most arenas where humans go for companionship, such as offices and concerts, weddings and funerals, disappeared or were decimated overnight. It’s as if the whole world has taken part in a huge experiment in loneliness, according to author Hilde Østby. The result of this experiment is worth dwelling on, as it’s not an easy diagnosis to just brush off. Research shows that loneliness, if it is chronic, is more dangerous for our health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In Map of Loneliness Hilde Østby approaches the subject on a personal, philosophical and journalistic level in order to get to grips with loneliness – one of our most enigmatic and under-communicated public health challenges. She shows us what loneliness does to us and asks where it comes from. That is a question which can be answered both medically and existentially. Maybe the mechanisms which drive us apart could later bring us back together? In that case loneliness is something we must solve as a community, through community, and for the community.

The Crow Man

Alf Marius Opsahl

Fifteen years ago, a crow landed in Espen Sletteberg’s lap. He and the crow, Hafez, have lived together ever since. From time immemorial, crows have been dogged by myth, which pretty much always deal in death and decay. But for Sletteberg, this is a matter of life and death. So what is it really like living with a crow? This is the first question DN journalist Alf Marius Opsahl poses in his encounter with Espen the Crow Man.

Culture Wars

Carline Tromp

Culture Wars is a book about the extreme right, how their radical views have been normalized, straight forward and (in some groups) cool, spreading their message with the help of new tech and using strategies that partially have their source on the political left side. This is a book about word and action; trolling and anti-feminists, key board warriors and terrorists; about new and old media, political (un-) correctness and waging a cultural ward using new tools; about racist frogs, Marxist ghosts and stylish neo-Nazis. Even though the content of this book is a frightening read, Tromp´s thorough review has an unexpected calming effect. She gives us an overview of the chaotic jumble of networks and ideas that forms the extreme right. Culture Wars will stand as a reference work on the field.

The Art of Reading Body Language

Vidar Hansen / Siri Lill Mannes

Vidar Hansen er tidligere politimann og etterforsker, og omtales som Norges svar på Sherlock Holmes. De kriminelle nektet avhør med ham fordi de mente han kunne lese tanker, han har også fått Politiprisen for å ha pågrepet flest kriminelle i Norge. Han har en forbløffende evne til å tyde menneskers kroppsspråk og ubevisste signaler. Her forteller han fascinerende historier om hvordan kroppsspråket røper oss, som hvordan han vet hvem som kaster en flaske mot politibilen uten å ha sett hvem som gjorde det, hvordan han avslører løgn eller hva politikere og andre kjente personer forteller med kroppsspråket. Kroppsspråk har endret både sportsresultater, politikk og historiens gang. Få mennesker er bevisst på sitt eget kroppsspråk, og enda færre klarer å styre det. Kroppsholdninger, bevegelser, stemmebruk og ansiktsuttrykk avslører oss. Visste du for eksempel at entusiastisk kroppsspråk kan bidra til suksess? Jo tydeligere du uttrykker begeistring og glede, jo mer smitter det over på andre. Med denne boka kan du forstå andre bedre og forbedre din egen kommunikasjon.

The Women’s City

Marta Breen / Helene Uri / Hilde Østby

Oslo is a city in flux. In the last decade alone, a number of new areas, districts and landmarks have appeared. But one thing seems to persist: male dominance. There are still about seven times more men than women who have had a street named after them in the capital, and most busts and statues are of men. Everyone needs to feel represented in public and to be made aware of pioneers and role models in whom they can recognise themselves. In this feminist guide, you can learn about the women who have already had streets named after them.
