Gårdsøl

Lars Marius Garshol

An engaging and sparkling book about beer. The traditional Norwegian beer was brewed on the farms in a time where it was statutory to brew strong beer. And to the joy of all beer enthusiasts, beer is still brewed in the traditional way many places in Norway. The traditions surrounding the brewing of beer are many, and a small peak into this world is an exciting way to see how beer has affected us in old days and now. Gårdsøl take us on a journey filled with wonder and joy over everything that is simmering and fermenting in basements and brew houses - Beer tasting like nothing you can buy in the store. Juniper branches, local herbs, malt - all of these ingredients bring distinction and character to the beer. The writer has visited many brewers of beer, and they share from what they have learned about brewing through generations, and show how they still brew in the old ways - with methods that go against all theories on the matter. It turns out to be working perfectly well, and the results are supreme, very tasty and totally different from other beer. The book also contains recipes and brewing methods from different areas of Norway. You will also find the recipe for Mead (mjød) - the god drink itself - for those who wish to try something special for extra special occasions.

Her Lying Face

Selma Lønning Aarø

In Kristiania in April 1897, the newspapers Morgenbladet and Verdens Gang announced that Knut Hamsun had reported Mrs. Anna Munch to the police and asked that her mental state be investigated. That spring, several anonymous letters slandering Hamsun had appeared in Kristiania.Hamsun was convinced that the letters had been written by the authoress Anna Munch, who was married to Edvard Munch's cousin, Peter Anker Ragnvald Munch. Anna Munch and Knut Hamsun first met during his lecture tour in 1891, when he went on the offensive against Ibsen and others. To put it mildly, she was entranced. She began to follow him, even to Paris, and on several occasions she booked in to the same lodgings as he had. She constantly sent him letters, to which she eventually received no replies. In other words, she was a good old-fashioned ‘stalker.' The police were not sure that Anna Munch had written the letters. For a while they even wondered whether Hamsun had written them himself.This epistolary mystery is the starting point for Selma Lønning Aarø's artistic novel, which brings a forgotten author to life and, not least, says something about the major struggle female authors had to be seen and heard.The author has made some amazing biographical discoveries which help to cast light on the most highly debated author in Norwegian history, Knut Hamsun. 'Selma Lønning Aarø’s latest novel has the potential to reach a vast audience and it will leave them shaken, moved and enligthened.' DAGBLADET 'Selma Lønning Aarø really knows how to wield a story. Here Anna Munch emerges from oblivion in a manner that can only be described as spellbinding … beautifully written and skilfully composed.'VG 'There is a lot to like about this novel. It is well told and excellently documented.'VÅRT LAND 'Selma Lønning Aarø has written one of the autumn’s most interesting novels, with life as it is really lived at its core. … the result is an amazingly artistic portrait.' STAVANGER AFTENBLAD'It’s amazing how Aarø fuses fact and fiction.' BERGENS TIDENDE 'Hennes løgnaktige ytre is a historical novel worth reading, about attraction, the life of an artist, madness and family.' DAGSAVISEN 'In Hennes løgnaktige ytre, Selma Lønning Aarø uses sparse documentation to create an exciting and well constructed historical novel.' DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV 'Hennes løgnaktige ytre is a really interesting novel.'KLASSEKAMPEN

'… a thorough and informative piece of work.'FÆDRELANDSVENNEN '[will] interest many, richly laden as it is with revelations about the German presence in the occupied country.' AFTENPOSTEN

Coming Home

Stian Bromark

In a never-ending, staggering march the Christian population of Eastern Thrace is jamming the roads towards Macedonia. Twenty miles of carts drawn by cows, bullocks and muddy-flanked water buffalo, with exhausted men, women and children, blankets over their heads, walking blindly along in the rain beside their worldly goods. It is a silent procession. Nobody even grunts. All they can do is keep moving.’This quotation from Ernest Hemingway is a description of events in the border zone between Turkey and Greece in September 1922. Stian Bromark's book explores the consequences of the forced migration of populations between the two countries, which Fridtjof Nansen supported. Whole towns were emptied, and 1,6 million people were forced to flee. Greeks and Turks still feel the trauma, and some of those who were directly affected are still alive.Bromark travels through Greece and Turkey, visiting historic cities such as Istanbul, Athens, Izmir and Thessalonika.This is a travel book combined with a historic review of the Greek-Turkish conflict. ‘The conditions for a multi-cultural society to function have been a theme running throughout Bromark’s interesting writing. In Hjemreiser he demonstrates clearly how meaningless it is to press people and societies into a single mould and a single identity … This book is fascinatingly topical … Bromark expresses himself brilliantly, as he always does, with little glimmers of fine humour in the descriptions. This historical documentary is written in first class prose.’ STAVANGER AFTENBLAD ‘ … When he is at his best, Bromark knocks the ash off the words with a knack reminiscent of Hemingway. As in this brief exchange of words between the author and a taxi-driver: "‘You can go ahead and light your cigarette. It doesn’t bother me,’ I say. He lights his roll-your-own and opens the window half a centimetre, as if he is afraid of lung disease." With its topics of refugee streams and nationalism, Hjemreiser is topical, important and worth reading.’ DAGBLADET

The Whisperer

Karin Fossum

Ragna Riegel works at Europris and lives alone in her childhood home. Her parents have died and her only son has moved to Berlin, and they have no contact other than occasional Christmas and birthday cards. Ragna lives within close confines. She likes her job because it is full of routine, she likes to sit on the same seat on the bus every day and she likes to buy the same things at the local shop each day. She must have order in her life. And she does, until one day she finds a letter in her mailbox with her name on the envelope and a clear threat written in block capitals on the sheet inside. The letter reinforces a nightmare where Ragna Riegel's life is threatened by an unknown enemy and she realises that she must use all means possible to defend herself. The novel takes the form of Konrad Sejer's interrogation of Ragna Riegel after the worst has happened; after it is too late. A powerful narrative from one of the strongest voices in Norwegian crime literature. ‘Hviskeren is a novel that measures up to any literature, crime or otherwise.’ DAGBLADET ‘It is her ability to make average, often wounded human psyches crackle and glow in all the colours of the rainbow that is Fossum's forte as a writer. She has an exceptional eye for fragility and vulnerability, and the complexity and dark humour of these states of mind.’ AFTENPOSTEN

White Trash

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

White Trash is a generous and brutal story about outsiders rebelling against the hypocritical and complacent bourgeoisie. It is also the tale of a desperate journey towards downfall. White Trash is the story of an outsider, told by one of them. Like a glowing thread through the story we find the depictions of uncompromising friendship and solidarity. The threesome Erling, Carly and Rita, childhood friends and wannabe artists, are by no means a lucky bunch. They have chosen the ecstasy and explosion as a lifestyle, and fail at any frail attempts to adapt to society.
