AS THE TREE FALLS

Britt Karin Larsen

Winner of the Dobloug prize A farmhand comes to one of the big farms in Finnskogen, Valkola,and steals the aging Valborg's heart. Across the ocean, Amy finds a friend among the Native Americans. This new friend has abrother she also meets.?Nils and Elin, who now live in Oslo, dream about the smallholding they're going to buy. Will their dream ever become reality? Daniel, Taneli and Lina's son, who once dreamt of seeing his homeland and Finnskogen again, falls ill aboard the ship from America. The god child is still waiting for Karin with the beautiful voice to come home from America.The plot in Britt Karin Larsen'sSlik treet faller switches between those who emigrated to America and the remaining Forest Finns in Kristiania and Finnskogen. In this novel, the seventh in the series, events move up to the Second World War, when the Forest Finns are hit just as hard as the rest of Norway. Many of those growing up in Finnskogen are living in poverty, and things don't get any better when most of them turn to communism and are therefore not allowed to work.It is perhaps in portraying the strength and solidarity possessed by these distinguished and vulnerable people that Britt Karen shows her greatness as an author. ‘Beautiful, poetic and magnificent.’6 out of 6 VG‘Most of all, it is the intimate details that draw us in. Here you will find love and jealousy, longing and sorrow, and most of all destiny. ... The novel is a mosaic of short episodes that together constitute a great drama of destiny about small yet strong people in the mighty and merciless maelstrom of time that will not stop for anything or anyone.’DAG OG TID ‘What is most compelling is how she manages to maintain the action without any deadlocks, especially with a huge cast of characters that are always developing. ... Her novels are about mankind’s longing to fit in even though the urge to withdraw is just as strong. And it is in the tension between these forces that this wide-ranging family chronicle evolves.’HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD‘This is classic storytelling from the heart and mind, using a poetic language that gives literary lift.’DAGSAVISEN ‘Poetic and beautiful … Britt Karin Larsen’s very personal and lyrical language sets her apart from other Norwegian writers.’VG about SOM STEINEN SKINNER‘Fantastic stories from Finnskogen Himmelbjørnens skog is an unexpectedly rich and earthy tale, crudely expressed and yet sophisticated. Superb!’ADRESSEAVISEN about HIMMELBJØRNENS SKOG ‘Britt Karin Larsen’s prose is sheer poetry and she has a great capacity for engagement.’WERMLANDIA, SWEDEN about DET VOKSER ET TRE I MOSTAMÄGG

Smut

Lene Ask / Martin Ernstsen / Lars Fiske / Sindre Wexelsen Goksøyr / Flu Hartberg / Anders Nordmo Kvammen / Sigbjørn Lilleeng / Tor Erling Naas / Inga Sætre

Smut (Smuss) is a collection of erotic comic strips from some of Norway’s best-known comic strip artists. Style and form varies throughout, but the contributions all share a concern with the beautiful, embarrassing and peculiar aspects of eroticism. First love, a librarian’s erotic fantasies, a robot’s visit to a brothel and the escapades of a sailor are just some of the stories collected in this collection. Comics by: Lene Ask, Martin Ernstsen, Lars Fiske, Sindre Wexelsen Goksøyr, Flu Hartberg, Anders Nordmo Kvammen, Sigbjørn Lilleeng, Tor Erling Naas and Inga Sætre. ‘[an] anthology spanning a very wide spectrum, […] The quality is [otherwise] uniformly high, and even though the stories express a lot of anxiety and frustration, the tone is generally positive.’SERIENETT.NO ‘The book is attractive and well compiled. Many of the stories start with us looking at something we’re not supposed to. A nice concept that connects the stories and reminds us of our voyeuristic tendencies.’DAGSAVISEN ‘Smuss is a sympathetic and varied anthology on the subject of sex […] There is a lot of variation in style and narrative, and the new illustrations bring a certain freshness to the anthology.’MORGENBLADET

Strong Tranquility

Anders Meland

Stillhetens råskap will give you insight into what mindfulness training is and how it can help you to achieve more. Mindfulness gives you the resilience and strength you need to be able to stand firm in chaotic or unpleasant situations. Mindfulness gives you insight into who you are behind your thoughts and feelings, and so gives you a quiet place where you can feel safe. Mindfulness enables you to base your choices on something more than just impulses, desires, wishes, fear or belief. You use less energy on things you can do nothing about and more energy on the here and now, on quality of life and on getting things done. Mindfulness is attention to the present situation, or as the author says: you are aware of the situation without passing judgement. This book gives you all you need to start mindfulness training. You also get access to unique sound-files with guided exercises by scanning a QR bar-code. Mindfulness can develop psychological strength and robustness and a capacity for achievement far beyond what other known methods can do. The author has practical experience and starts from new results of research on mindfulness. He gives examples from top athletes and from the armed forces and shows how we ‘ordinary' people can learn from their experience. Simply and imaginatively written by a young author who researches the results of mindfulness training among high achievers.

Rune Johan Andersson has his own unique way of approaching his subject matter, both in terms of content and form. Many of his books have a mixture of coloured and black and white drawings. The same also applies to Støv.

Uno, Dos, Tres – Taco!

The Flying Culinary Circus

Tacos are as diverse a dish as pasta, simpler than sushi and can be more exciting than tapas because you can create so many of your own flavour combinations. Most people make one particular type – adding prepared herbs and spices to taco shells and piling these on a plate with cheese, sour cream and mince. In Mexico, the homeland of the taco, you'd be hard pressed to find such ingredients. The Flying Culinary Circus hope to provide you with inspiration to make your next taco experience even better than usual, and one step closer to the real deal. Not only that, but they provide tips for exciting combinations with dishes from other culinary cultures. So far The Flying Culinary Circus have toured 47 different countries, and on their way they have plucked inspiration from all of the world's varied food traditions. Now they're hoping to share some of this. They've taken the taco on a world trip, meaning they know just how to bring us simple, tasty tacos – flavour, zing and zest in uno, dos, tres!
