Gert Nygårdshaug

Wine connoisseur and deciphering expert Fredric Drum is called in and suddenly finds himself at the center of mysterious events. Suspense builds around the appearance of an ancient hunter's amulet: a doll. Gert Nygårdshaug draws the reader into a world where trout fishing, magnificent nature, archaeology, and myths merge into a highly topical drama.

Maybe It Helps

Nils-Øivind Haagensen

Nils-Øivind Haagensen is likely today's most popular poet of his generation in Norway. He is compared to the likes of Sweden's Göran Sonnevi, Chile's Pablo Neruda and America's Allen Ginsburg. After two critically acclaimed collections, his authorship gained momentum with the first of what has since been called Adressebøkene. For a while, he was a veritable word machine for newspapers and delivered texts that lay within – but also crossed the borders of – most genres. He was awarded the Sult Prize and was nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. When he gives readings, the venue is normally full to capacity. At Cappelen Damm, he published books such as Haruki og jeg, which was published in 2010. Maybe it helps assembles all the poetry Haagensen has published with Cappelen Damm from 1998 to 2010 – as well as a good deal of extra material from this period. Thus, we get a thick and beautiful book of hundreds of pages, equipped with a foreword by Johan Harstad and an interview with the author. If you wish to translate one of Norway's most important poets, you may want to start here, with Nils-Øivind Haagensen.

Come and Get Me

Kjersti Wøien Håland

You are waiting to be picked up. I do not know of what or who, but you know. From mental basements and literal attics. I see you all the time, waiting. In the City where I live, the waiting City. You can tell by the cranes. The whole world is waiting, even when it is racing, even when it is spinning around it self. Waiting for a change, a revolution, a collapse. January is waiting fro February. The Day is caught up by the Night. Words waiting fro eyes. Poems waiting to be read.

Body Squeeze

Kari Løvendahl Mogstad

Kari Mogstad is a doctor and mother of five, a passionate mediator and avid article writer. As a doctor, she daily meets children and young adults who are struggling with increasing body image issues and focus on their appearance. Many of them have headaches or stomach-aches, depression and eating disorders. In this book, she tries to find out more about how children and young adults are really doing, and show parents what a child's reality looks like. She also tackles the role of today's parents and asks what kind of role models we really are. The book helps parents to become more aware, and you will likely replace a few princess dresses after having read it. She also uses her extensive experience as a mother to give advice on how to help children and young adults have a good life and resist external pressures. "Body Issues is an important contribution in the struggle against just talking about the tyranny of beauty and the body pressure that is destroying the quality of life for so many young people today. Right now, the most important thing is that we join forces to give the young generations of our time the possibility to have a possitive image of their bodies, and to shift the focus from the cosmetic body to the functioning body."Jorunn Sundgot-Borgen, professor at the Norwegian Sports College
