Bjørn Ousland

Upwards – Roald Amundsen's Spectacular Air Voyages tells an exciting and dramatic portion of Norwegian polar history. Amundsen's pioneering work with airplanes and airships led the exploration of the polar regions into a new era, while simultaneously creating optimism for technology in the Nordic region. Roald Amundsen's disappearance during the dramatic rescue mission to find Umberto Nobile and other expeditions is told with a vivid style that has made Bjørn Ousland's polar books so popular. Today, he is one of the premier nonfiction writers we have in this visual form.

POP

Audun Molde

This is a story about pop music and the music industry – a contemporary cultural history that spans 200 years, from the industrial revolution to the digital age. It's a story about the creators of pop music, and their ideas; professionals, employees, business people, colleagues, rivals, craftsmen, artists, stars, icons; who have written, produced, sung, played and sold songs that have affected people all over the world. ‘3000 years of verse and chorus ‘Excellent reference and all in all a welcome piece of work for all of those with a general, if not very deep, interest for the subject.’ DAGBLADET ‘Audun Moldes book shows the recognizable traces of the development of POP through history. Unlike many of those who write about popmusic, the musicologist Molde also has the knowledge of tones, building of rhythm and the peculiarities of the composition of the different genres. A clean presentation of the greater facts can also be good narration.’ DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV

The Parchment

Gert Nygårdshaug

The Norwegian professor and cryptologist Linus Lindehage is found murdered in an Oslo apartment on the very evening he is scheduled to deliver a lecture at the prestigious scientific institution, The Royal Society in London—where he is set to make a sensational revelation regarding the contents of a mysterious medieval manuscript known as the Voynich manuscript. It is the eccentric KRIPOS investigator Skarphedin Olsen who inadvertently stumbles upon the professor’s body, landing a case that soon proves to have sinister ramifications. The detective and his team are faced with a near-insoluble criminal puzzle that ultimately builds to a highly dramatic and surprising conclusion. And back in time, in the 15th century, a monk sits writing in a monastery in Italy... "The Parchment is delightfully playful, a book that satisfies every expectation I could have for an intelligent, well-written crime story (…) It is superb both in the minute details, across the wide cast of characters—and in the truly grand strokes."Adresseavisen "The Parchment contains some nods to other books in the same genre, such as Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and the works of Tom Egeland, yet it sets itself apart because it is so unpretentious and astute all at once. Pure enjoyment."Oppland Arbeiderblad "It is an absolute pleasure to read a crime story told this elegantly (…) Much like a well-composed feast, The Parchment will surely leave the reader both sated and delighted."VG

Sherleek and the Invisible Man

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Purriot og den usynlige mannen is the first in a series of detective books for children. The master detective Sherleek is sitting at the breakfast table together with his wife, Paprika, when his mobile rings. An old lady, Grandmother Bloom, needs help to solve a mystery. Grandmother Bloom lives in Hullaballooville, and Sherleek and Paprika are soon on their way there. It turns out that both Grandmother Bloom and a little boy, Pars Lee, have been attacked within the past few days, and there is no trace of the culprit. Porriot will have to use all his shrewdness and grey matter to solve the mystery. In addition, he will have to deal with Chief Superintendent Cumber, not exactly the sharpest policeman, but one with a large ego. Our new hero, Sherleek, is a brilliant cross between a famous Belgian detective and a leek (Allium porrum). Bjørn Rørvik's text does a fine job of bringing out the detective's personality, and the solution to the mystery is both funny and believable. Rørvik and Aalbu bring us DETECTIVE FICTION FOR CHILDREN – nothing could be better! ‘… a sweet and stylish crime novel for the youngest of readers… Rørvik and Aalbu have created a literary and visually style-conscious book, with a concept that is both simple and amusing enough from which to create a series.’Dagbladet ‘A charming crime novel for children aged 6-9 years. Suitable for adults too… This is thought to be the beginning of a series, and we find ourselves already looking forward to brand new Purriot adventures.’Varden‘There is sufficient humour to be found in both the text and pictures to suit the taste of readers young and old alike.’Opdalingen‘Our new hero, Purriot, is a charming combination of a well-known Belgian detective and a leek, a near unbeatable combination. Bjørn Rørvik’s words bring out the detective’s personality in a lovely manner, and the solution to the mystery is both amusing and plausible.’Bokstaver‘There are some books you just know that you will love, and Purriot og den usynlige mannen is exactly that sort of book.’Moss Avis
