Odd and Even Odder Jobs

Bjørn F. Rørvik

A book of fun facts about really odd jobs that you’ll never believe exist. Most children wonder what they’ll be when they grow up. Who doesn’t dream of being a footballer or a popstar? Or maybe a firefighter, a doctor, a hairdresser or a lawyer? But why do the same thing as everyone else? Why not do something completely different? How about being a dinosaur-duster, a snake-milker or an armpit-sniffer? In Odd and Even Odder Jobs, Bjørn F. Rørvik has come up with more than 50 professions that you probably never knew existed. There’s plenty of fun and peculiar stuff, and some of the jobs sound really unlikely. But all of them are absolutely real – and all of them need to be done!

The Knights and the Great Bonfire

Bjørn F. Rørvik

It’s Midsummer’s Eve, and Sir Bang has been given the important task of lighting the great Midsummer bonfire. It’s a huge honour, but he’s dreading it! What if he can’t get the fire lit? Maybe he’d better practise a bit beforehand. Turns out that it's not hard at all to get the fire started, but it's definitely impossible to to stop it again... Sir Bang and his fellow knight Sir Rosebush head into the forest, but before they know it, they’ve been sent to Klampenburg Castle to look for Zippo, the Dragon’s little nephew. Zippo has been kidnapped by none other than Blackbeard, the wickedest robber in the country! It turns into quite the trek. The horses are on strike, so the knights have to use the horse-replacement service –cows! When they finally arrive, they’re keener on spending time at the robbers’ market, with its almost-authentic rubies and rabbit’s feet, than on infiltrating the band of robbers and saving Zippo. But fortunately, help arrives from an unexpected quarter…

Hugo offers her a deal — if she marries him, he will withdraw the accusation against Torkel. It's an impossible choice for Rose to make.

Taiwan

Kristoffer Rønneberg

Taiwan takes the reader into the heart of disputed Taiwan - a country caught between the ambitions of superpowers, struggling for democratic values. China stands on the threshold of a possible invasion. The US is ready with promises of defence. Taiwan not only explores the potentially catastrophic consequences of military confrontation in Asia, but also poses an existential question: What is the future of democracy? Kristoffer Rønneberg dives into Taiwan’s complex history; from Ilha Formosa, as Portuguese navigators called the island, to the hyper-modern and well-developed democracy it has become today. The book draws parallels between Taiwan today and pre-war Europe, while reflecting on the West’s reactions to authoritarian regimes, both historically and in the present. With personal testimonies from residents - their hopes, fears and dreams - Rønneberg paints a vivid picture of a people determined to preserve their identity against external pressure. Taiwan is more than just an island; it is a testimony to the fact that democracy can flourish, even in the shadow of threatening and autocratic forces.
