America

Gro Dahle

The short stories in Amerika together make up a coherent narrative. The same characters appear in all of them: the girl, the mother and the father. The stories are all about the little family's life when they move to the big land of America. Two adults and a child: at the table; in the car; on holiday. A little girl growing up with a pinewood in the background. A father who yearns for spruce trees. A mother who has discovered sweet potatoes. Sometimes things are tight and difficult. Tangled misunderstandings and feelings of guilt; knotted stomachs, tense necks and anxious thoughts; days when everything is unattainable and it seems as if Death is standing right beside the bed. It's a matter of survival. Just keep breathing. Then they travel home, but to be at home is not always to feel at home. Some people never return, for there isn't always a way back.

Children’s Book about Astrid Lindgren

Agnes-Margrethe Bjorvand

This book about Astrid Lindgren is an inspiring illustrated biography that provides children with knowledge about the person, author, editor and dedicated contributor to the community that Astrid Lindgren was. Through stories, quotes, facts and magical illustrations, we become familiar with one of the world's greatest children's authors. The book follows a classic chronological development from Astrid's happy childhood to her old age in Stockholm. The book explores important, exciting and humorous episodes in Astrid's life and work. We learn about her love of nature, her lifelong joy of playing and climbing trees, reading and writing, and fighting for children's and animal rights. But we also learn about her life's many dark moments – her life as a young and impoverished single mother, her longing for love, and – as she so often expressed it – the experience of «how difficult it can be to be human». This biography is a unique starting point for inspiring new generations to read Astrid Lindgren's books. ‘… a rock-solid and beautifully illustrated biography for children. … Small details and big topics are told with the same interest and enthusiasm, and Bjorvand's detailed knowledge makes the biography intimate and entertaining. Lisa Aisato, the illustrator, shows great skill as a visual artist. The tightly written and inspired text and the fine art illustrations together capture the tone of Lindgren's life and universe and make the biography of the year a pure joy.’ DAGBLADET ‘This book is a pleasure to behold.’ FÆDRELANDSVENNEN

Eystein Hanssen

The fifth novel about police detective Elli Sunee Rathke provides hard-hitting police action from Oslo and Bangkok. It introduces completely new aspects of Elli's family background. She has a Thai mother and a Norwegian father, but hints about her life in a broader sense are just as important. Elli's partner Jan Nereng also develops as a character. This novel offers a thrilling journey through the underworlds of both Bangkok and Oslo – motorcycle gangs, brothels in Patpong – and not least a journey through Elli's own family history.

British Prime Ministers 1900 to 2015

Øivind Bratberg / Hans Olav Lahlum

Britiske statsministere 1900-2015. Fra Lord Salisbury til David Cameron tells the story of all of the United Kingdom's prime ministers over the last 115 years. The book presents entertaining portraits of the lives of 22 very important politicians, and also explains both the United Kingdom's own development and the country's role in the international community. Readers are invited on an exciting and educational journey through contemporary political history. Through 400 pages we journey from the world's largest colonial empire at the end of the 1800s via two world wars and a cold war in the 1900s up to our century's financial crisis and war against terror – all in the company of still disputed historical figures such as Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair. The book brings forth from obscurity both the triumphs and tragedies in the lives and political careers of lesser-known prime ministers. This book will be of great interest to all readers with even a modicum of interest in history, politics or people. Political scientist Øivind Bratberg is one of Norway's leading experts on the United Kingdom, and historian Hans Olav Lahlum is one of Norway's leading mediators of political history.

C - Carbon

Dag O. Hessen

There are good reasons for writing this book with the simple title of C, which is the first and unauthorised biography of carbon, life's central element.Most of the life processes within and around us involve carbon in one form or another. Carbon in pure form can be both graphite in a pencil, and diamond. It is also the starting point for most of the synthetic materials which pervade modern life. However, the essence of Dag O. Hessen's story is the lifecycle of carbon, the important balance between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, between building and burning. This book gives us the basis we need for that understanding. It is an informal, well-informed book written with strong personal commitment by one of Norway's best presenters of research and science.‘This is a brilliant and deep journey into the science, history, and indeed the morality of the Periodic Table's sixth element, carbon. An accomplished scientist and a masterful storyteller, Dag Hessen takes us from the elegance of the Kohi-Noor diamond to the putrescence of cow flatulence, explaining the science behind carbon's connection to our bodies and to our future given it's ongoing impact on global climate. Readers will enjoy the journey while also gaining some philosophical and ethical perspective on the tradeoffs and complexities that are involved as humanity struggles to decarbonize. Carbon – you thought you knew it? Think again and read this book.’ JIM ELSER, BIERMAN PROFESSOR OF ECOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA‘The literary technique is distinctly original. Dag O. Hessen succeeds in creating a piece of accessible literature on the border between science and politics.’ KLASSEKAMPEN

Christian Magnus Falsen

Marthe Hommerstad

When VG newspaper recently listed the most important Norwegians of the last 200 years, Christian Magnus Falsen came second only to Henrik Ibsen. Some claim that he should perhaps have topped the list. Norwegian history would have looked quite different without him. In 1814 he was one of the most influential leaders in the Norwegian independence struggle. He wrote the most important draft of the constitution and was a driving force in the constitutional assembly. But Falsen's story doesn't stop there. Ten years later he was pushed out of his public office by widespread mistrust in parliament. His opponents attacked him, claiming that he had betrayed the democratic ideals of 1814 and had gone into the service of King Karl Johan. When he died at the age of 48 he was marginalised, ill and overlooked. Norwegian historians have been arguing about Falsen's role since his death. Historian Marthe Hommerstad's biography of the statesman gives a more objective but also gentler portrayal. Falsen lived through one of world history's times of great change. The old order was coming to an end and new opportunities were opening up. His life is the story of an old state breaking apart and a new state rising up. This was the age of the revolutions, and Falsen stood in the front rank.
