The Mineral Shortage
Narrative Non-fiction2026 · 296 pp

The Mineral Shortage

Kåre Dahl Martinsen

China's near-monopoly on critical minerals is driving a global scramble. These essential resources fuel both the West's green transition and its defense industries, prompting intense US focus on deposits in Ukraine and Greenland. However, a critical fact is often overlooked: Norway holds significantly larger mineral reserves than both these nations combined. This places Norway squarely in the center of an escalating international resource race, with major implications for its future. Discover how this new geopolitical reality unfolds, why minerals are the currency of tomorrow, and Norway's crucial, unexpected role in shaping the global power landscape. A vital read for understanding the nexus of energy, security, and international relations.

Nikola of Tuzla

Bruno Jovanovic

Nikola has disappeared from Oslo. The only trace that remains is a newly recorded porn movie. Tarik decides to do whatever it takes to find his friend. When he learns that Nikola's father is deceased and to be buried, he buys a one-way ticket to Bosnia, the motherland he has never called his own. In the streets of Tuzla, the hunt for Nikola begins. Meeting his family and people who knew him, Tarik is drawn into a past that Nikola never shared with him. Simultaneously, a story unfolds about the two young men, connected by their outsider status and loyalty. Together, they are drawn into an underworld where boundaries are constantly moving, and the price at last becomes inhumanely high. Nikola of Tuzla is a novel about loss, and about belonging, identity and an all-consuming friendship. "Harder, grittier, and darker than the debut... a story that ends in tragic darkness"Fædrelandsvennen, 5/6 stars

Olav and the Letters

Erlend Loe / Tore Rem

Little Olav is not like most other kids. He's a prince, and one day he will be king! Olav is really great at doing ski jumps, but reading, not so much. Even though he practises and practises, the letters jumble together and become incomprehensible. Don't you need to be able to read to be an adult? How can he be king if he cannot read? Olav and the Letters is a wonderful story for kids and adults, and a great conversation starter for parents or teachers who need a tool to talk about dyslexia. «Nyhus’s intricate visual interpretations transform the book into a fascinating and engaging seek-and-find book, packed with surprises and discoveries that can make inexperienced readers feel smart (...) Here we are talking about the joy of reading regardless of skill level. The two-page spreads are a visual tour de force, featuring illustrations rich in contrasts and contradictions.»Klassekampen «A super-trio have put their heads together and created a delightful and wonderfully illustrated picture book about King Olav's dyslexia.»(...)«The theme appeals to young and old alike. The book shows that everyone struggles with something. No one is just what you see, as the saying goes. Even the privileged Prince Olav has trouble with those darn letters.»Dagbladet The book is a marvel«A superb example of litterature that can start conversations and offer reflections across generations.»NRK, five/six stars

The Survival Plan

Elin Brend Bjørhei

Village gossip. Stubborn dogs. And a man I should never fall for again… There’s a special place in hell for men who dump their fiancée the day before the wedding. That’s where my ex, Jonas, should have been. But no, he’s still walking around unharmed in the streets of Oslo, far from hellfire and torment. You’d think it couldn’t get any worse, but yes, he also made sure I lost my job. So what do you do when you’re dumped, broke, and desperate? I’ve chosen to move to the countryside. To Feheim, the small village I swore I’d never return to. There, I’m going to run a dog boarding kennel, even though I have no clue about dogs, but how hard can it be? I honestly only start regretting it the moment I meet Nikolai again – the boy I had a crush on as a teenager. But he’s not much of a boy anymore. He has become a man. A strikingly handsome and unapproachable man whom I should stay far away from. It’s just a shame my heart refuses to listen, especially when he looks at me like that… The Survival Plan is a romantic and spicy novel for everyone who has headbanged to Metallica and Googled “how to get over an ex” – and still ended up crying to Taylor Swift and eating candy for dinner. A story about losing yourself and finding your way back – one calf birth, one good book, and one orgasm at a time. The Survival Plan is the first book in a planned series.

Porsgrunn Porcelain

Frederik Svindland

It's all done, the last book about me, Vito from Porsgrunn, the boy whose life turned out so wrong. It started with Damned Kid and the time at Heistad (I hated that time so much), and then Kaja 2000 and the time at Kjølnes (I loved that time so much), and now I'm in high school and have lost Kaja because I was a stupid idiot. Plus Suttegutten has died. We owed that guy a lot of money, or Alvarez owed him, but he just lied and made things worse, so the rest of us had to step up, Felix arranged for some hay bales he got cheap from his father, and then things got going. But then Suttegutten suddenly put on his wooden coat, and here we are, the golden boys in The Commission with a lot of money to spend on unreasonable things. By the way, you don't have to have read the other books to read this one. The books about me are all standalones, and you know what they say about Porsgrunn porcelain. It is handmade and exclusive.

The Gateway to the North

Dag Kullerud

It is an interesting paradox that Norwegians and Danes cross each other's borders millions of times a year, yet knowledge of each other seems to be diminishing. Dag Kullerud has reflected on this for four decades, and his observation is clear: The distance is growing, and knowledge is disappearing. In Norwegian media, Denmark is often associated with holidays, Copenhagen, Legoland, beer and red sausages. We rarely see mention of the country's history, the community we have, or current politics. This can lead to a somewhat limited image of our neighbor to the south. The Gateway to the North is an invitation to greater understanding. Dag Kullerud's book is an attempt to bridge this gap. Instead of accepting the distance, Kullerud invites us to a journey of discovery across established notions. The book explores questions such as: Why do we primarily travel to Northern Jutland, but overlook Southern Denmark? What significance do the areas south of the Kongeåen – the Wadden Sea coast, South Jutland – have for our common history? Here you will find unique stories about war and culture, and about the commitment of Norwegians to the Danes during the turbulent times of the 19th century. The Gateway to the North functions as both a travel guide and a history book, with a focus on hidden places and translated stories. Along the way, the author reflects on an important question: Can a deeper knowledge of each other help revive Nordic cohesion in a new era? Welcome to a journey that can broaden your view of Denmark and our common Nordic heritage.

Puck you!
Children's Books2026 · 144 pp · Age 9 - 12

Puck you!

Bjørn Tore Grøtte

It's finally Kim's time to play in the national A-series! He is so excited, but the road there isn't lacking in challenges. Their new Age 15 team is composed of players from three different hockey clubs in Trondheim. Every player is used to be the best on their own team, so it's difficult for everyone to get used to the new constellations of players. Puck you! is not just about winning matches. It is also about what happens when the pressure becomes too great, when the joy of hockey disappears - and how to find it again. The book is full of action, emotions and a real hockey environment. You get training, away games, pressure from parents, team building and excitement on the ice. And you get friendship, jealousy, love and everything else that happens when you're a teenager. Puck you! is the third book in the series by Bjørn Tore Grøtte, but it can also be read as a stand alone.
