Cutting Wood

Svein Arne Strømsodd / Jon Erik Solberg

Cutting wood is great for both body and soul. It is an exciting, varied and relaxing activity which appeals to many.This book is a complete presentation of the art of cutting wood, with chainsaw use as the main theme. There are beautifully illustrated directions for correct and safe use of a chainsaw, with useful information about the various techniques and about sharpening the chain with a file and all the other maintenance.The chainsaw is used to fell and trim trees and cut the stems into logs. Then it is time to split the logs – either by muscle or machine power – before the wood can be stacked and dried. Enjoy! 'The illustrations in this book are good and plentiful, and the text informative and concise. Good inspiration for enthusiastic wood-cutters.'GAa, Skog

The World Plays Hide and Seek

Siri M. Kvamme

The protagonist in The World Plays Hide and Seek (Verden leker gjemsel), Hanna, is in her thirties. All she wants to do is to be an author and to start a family with her boyfriend, Morten. But Morten shows very little understanding for both her writing and for her wish of becoming a mother. He has two children from a previous relationship and says he doesn't want any more kids. Then Hanna is served some devastating news: She has an eye sight condition, which will slowly turn her more and more blind each year passing. On a trip to Iceland to take part in a half-marathon, she finally understands she needs to change her life. During the race, instead of crossing the finish line, she runs off in the rural Icelandic landscape, and meets a man, Hallgrim. She decides to stay with him, but the choice between Morten and Hallgrim steadily becomes more acute as her eye sight continues to deteriorate.The World Plays Hide and Seek is a novel about finding your own way.'Oh, how I recogniced myself in this story. Wanting to write, almost at any price, being so pasionate about it, day and night. But the man you love thinks what your doing is just nonsense ... A painful and beautiful novel.' ANNE B. RAGDE, AUTHOR 'Siri M. Kvamme put the problems like a painful tip of literary reflections into the protagonist´s life, the sickness, the uncertainty ... But the main characters disease is just one of several weighted strong elements in this novel, that has more than one narratives carrying the story. I would like to say lifting it, to a existentially wondering and interesting level.' HAUGESUNDS AVIS

Volvo Lorries

Erlend Loe

We follow the same person and the same elk some distance into the Swedish forrest of Värmland, where they meet a scout who has slept under the stars twenty-five thousand times and an old lady who is addicted to weed and wants to change the world.Erlend Loe gives his imagination free rein this time, and the result is a madcap and playful text that some will clutch to their breast and others will avoid like the plague. "Into this Swedish Värmland universe walks a man. Doppler has arrived. Andreas Doppler. A Norwegian. He has with him his year-old elk, Bongo. And his son, Gregus. The elk walks behind him on the path and his son is asleep in the cart behind the elk.""Nothing short of masterly. (...) Sharp and intelligent. And strikingly funny."BERLINGSKE TIDENDE, Denmark"Fabulously funny. Yet another supernaïve and extraordinary novel from Erlend Loe."JYLLANDSPOSTEN, Denmark"With the follow up to Doppler, Loe has written one of his funniest and most unpredictable works."NRK P2"Damned. Super."DAGSAVISEN"It is a joyous read, and Erlend Loe has equipped the book with lots of comments and footnotes that are precious also on their own."KULTURSPEILET

Adventures in Memory

Ylva Berger / Hilde Østby

Take a plunge into the science of memory, together with sisters Hilde and Ylva Østby, in Diving for Seahorses.The writers explore the many facets of memory and how it influences our lives, both from a neuroscience perspective and through conversations with some of the most influential memory researchers of our time. They meet people with a special kind of memory – at both ends of the memory spectrum from mnemonists, actors and taxi drivers, to amnesiacs – and discover that most memories are transformed and some are best forgotten. In the middle of winter, they send divers deep into the Oslo fjord in search of where our memories are stored. They wonder if what lies at the heart of memory is what will change our future.Diving for Seahorses explains memory through personal and vivid tale telling, combining the best of two craftsmanships: Hilde is a novelist, and Ylva is a neuropsychologist.‘… readable and interesting. … Reading this book will leave you baffled about how complex memory is.’ FÆDRELANDSVENNEN‘Diving for seahorses is a unique book about memory … science and research presented with wit and energy.’ BOKSTAVER.NO

12 Adventures and one Ghost

Aleksander Gamme

In this book, Alexander Gamme has brought together a significant collection of stories of his many adventures. Like many other famous Norwegians, he has dashed ahead on skis. Among other things, he was the first man to do the world's longest ski journey, to the South Pole and back, alone and without back-up support. With a companion, he has cycled across the Sahara desert on a tandem, a trip not without complications. He also has extraordinary achievements in the heights. Using his training as a parachutist, he recently jumped from a cluster of helium balloons at 12,000 feet. As a mountaineer he has many towering peaks of achievement, including Mount Everest. He also takes us deep underground in narrow caves in Nordland, on horseback as a gold-digging cowboy on Dovrefjell and to noteworthy base jumping pranks in West Virginia. We also hear about his time as a spice merchant in Marrakesh. Alexander's accounts of his adventures are always unpredictable and amusing. His talent for reflecting and philosophising about both big and small questions adds colour to the experiences and will challenge and inspire the reader.

7 Days for Us

Anja Hitz / Charlotte Glaser Munch

Three sixteen year old girls, three nationalities, three different temperaments – and a Swedish German Shepherd dog. Kat the Dane, Silje the Norwegian and Tessa the Swede meet at Camp Focus, a Scandinavian self-development camp for young girls. The camp takes place in Sweden the second week in July. They don't know each other and have nothing in common, but chance circumstances lead to them ending up after just twenty-four hours in a “borrowed” car with a “borrowed” dog on the way north through Sweden and finally to Norway and Lofoten. They have not planned a route. The have to deal with ticks, almost killing an elk, avenging a nude picture of Silje on the internet, being sympathetic to each other and the dog, putting Tessa's mother in her place and finding Kat's father. But their most important experience is receiving the mutual support they have lacked, to be able to express themselves clearly and freely. In the course of the trip the three girls become a welded “us.” Charlotte Glaser Munch and Anja Hitz have known each other for many years, but this is the first time they have come together in a shared book project. Hitz is Danish, living in Denmark, and Glaser is a Norwegian living in Sweden. They have used all imaginable means of communication to complete the book across national boundaries. This effort has succeeded and enhanced the flavour of the book. 'We find pace, tension, humour and the whole scale of teenage problems in the co-operative project between Norwegian Charlotte Glaser Munch and the Dane Anja Hitz. ... I am sure it will appeal to young readers.' DAGBLADET

Stéphanie Dumont / Karl Eirik Haug

Norway's best motoring journalist gives himself a much freer rein in this book than in his previous publication, Norske bilfavoritter (Norway's favourite cars) which ran to four editions. In this book Karl Eirik Haug is more thorough, more personal and less regulated by thematic chronology. Here we experience a riotous feast of American maximalism as we savour insights into the sound of a V8 engine and plunge deeply into rich visions of iconic models, including paint, fabric and leather catalogues. Karl Eirik Haug's prose is always based on wide knowledge and high literary standards. The needle on the rev-counter hits red right from the first page. The book gives a full-size view of the technical, aesthetic and sociological markers of Scandinavian's interest in American cars and a comprehensive insight into the golden age of American car production, 1950-1970.
