Hurry, Little Beetle!

Max Estes

Sofia almost stands on a beetle on her way to school. Luckily, she spots it in time. But what about all the others that might be walking along the pavement that morning? What if they step on the poor little beetle? Sofia knows that she has to save the little beetle.

Magnet

Magnet

Lars Saabye Christensen

Winner of the Brage Prize 2015. For nearly three years, every single day, Lars Saabye Christensen has been writing his new novel. It will be standing as a major work in his authorship. Beatles was his great youth work, The Half-Brother the middle-aged man's masterpiece. Magnet is the aging author's masterpiece. In this work, he has invested everything he has, and at the same time – and it is the most impressive – it seems that he is doing something completely new.Magnet is a love story. It is about a mismatched couple who try to pull in the same direction with all their might. Jokum is a photographer who will take pictures of the ordinary, he will see the beauty and melancholy in the world. Synne is an art historian with Edward Hopper as her specialty. She is drawn towards fame, towards the spectacular. He feels more at home in cheap stores and second hand shops than in galleries and museums. Through his pictures he will show how time is present in everything we have. He manages this. Until he takes a picture of their dead child.The novel was shortlisted for the Booksellers Book Award and the radio channel P2-listeners Novel Award.. 'There is something very unusual about being one of our most popular authors and being highly ranked in international literature at the same time. That is the status of Lars Saabye Christensen and his writing.' TØNSBERGS BLAD 'I rarely read a long novel which is so full of mature wisdom and beautiful language and which at the same time manages to surprise the reader with unexpected turns.' BERGENS TIDENDE 'For this is a bounding, scenically based story full of tragic life events and comic slapstick figures, complications, digressions and strange happenings, jokes, aphorisms, anecdotes, metaphors, paradoxes, allusions, quotations, blues songs, diary notes and sketches; cunningly put together; linked to distinct leitmotifs and with a formidable range of voice, scene and comment; carried forward by an ambiguity about love, art and culture, birth and death; focussed on arousing feelings and reflection more than pompous admiration.' STAVANGER AFTENBLAD 'Magnet is securely on a level with Beatles and The Half-brother.' VG 'In Magnet Lars Saabye Christensen delivers a best-seller; a tender, sore and seriously funny love story.' HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD 'A master wordsmith is at work here.' P2 'Magnet is Saabye in absolute top form. A 780 page brick of a book, with all the typical and therefore slightly parodic Saabye elements intact, but fortunately so elegantly assembled that it not only tolerates the high number of pages and the feeling of repetition, but sometimes flourishes on them.' DAGSAVISEN ' ... a splendid read with bitter-sweet and recognisable pictures of the times and a genuinely exciting love-story of a very varied pair. The dialogue is tightly-written, impressive and quotable.' DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV 'Well prepared, well composed, well written, well presented. Enjoy!' VG

Magnus Carlsen

Arne Danielsen

New, revised and updated edition of Arne Danielsen's book about Magnus Carlsen. Magnus Carlsen has achieved two of the most important sporting successes of any Norwegian in the 21st century. On 1st January 2010 he became the youngest person in history to reach the top of the world ranking in chess. And last year he became world champion in a competition which all Norway followed for two weeks. The book describes Carlsen's way to the top in a game which is surrounded by myths. It explains the phenomenon and enables the reader to understand the drama played out on the chessboard in important matches. This will help the general public to understand the significance of Magnus Carlsen's fantastic achievements in the world of chess. This edition has been extensively rewritten and 5 new chapters added, including new interviews with Carlsen, and an update from the World Chess Championships at the Winter Olympics in Sochi in November 2014 and 30 pictures. ’Danielsen is an excellent communicator, who tells Carlsen’s story in a humorous and agreeable style. What is most impressive is his ability to recreate the excitement of the chessboard without using chess notation. Fine subtleties of the game are like a thrilling film when Danielsen is the narrator. This book is highly recommended.’NORSK SJAKKBLAD

Man

Dag Furuholmen / Ted Usatynski

Today's man stands at a crossroads. In the past, man has been an unchallenged patriarch in our civilisation, secure of his role and confident of his masculinity. Many people think that today's man is more unsure of himself than ever. In the media he is often portrayed as immature and self-centred. The demands and expectations from all around him have changed. It is time for man to rediscover his strength, his identity and who he wants to be. What characterises the modern man? How has the culture we live in affected man's role? The authors present new research from psychology, sociology and neurobiology, together with explanations from evolutionary biology. The various chapters follow man from childhood, though adult life and right on to old age, researching the different phases of life and the roles man passes through. They describe different routes to manhood through themes such as friendship, responsibility, sexuality, fatherhood and maturity. This book is helpful to today's man in finding his masculinity and being able to assess what is specific about being a man. The text also includes questions which will help the reader to explore the various themes as they relate to his own life. This book is written for men, by men, but it will also be useful to women who want to gain a better understanding of their father, partner or son. Join us on a journey of discovery through your masculinity!

Arne Svingen

Birger Brunkeberg has an easy-going life. He has an enormous collection of CD's and a good friend in prison. But one day the doorbell rings and reality hits his life with a hard fist. Mannen som gikk gjennom lydmuren is the story of this happy music-lover and the life he didn't know he was missing. A feel-good rock-and-roll novel! '(…) a novel whose style and tempo resemble a rock tune, and which in its own terminology could have been written by Dr. Feelgood.'STAVANGER AFTENBLAD 'Arne Svingen’s latest book could be described as a real feel-good novel. If you mix Nick Hornby and Fredrik Backmann you will get a good idea of how it sounds.'DEMOKRATEN 'Svingen has repeatedly shown that he is an ingenious storyteller, and when he tosses in a suitable dose of feel-good factor as here, it becomes quite entertaining.'MOSS AVIS 'The novel therefore has something in common with Nick Hornby’s writings, not least ’High Fidelity’ and ’About a Boy.’ Birger is a charming nerd'ADRESSEAVISEN 'Readers of Arne Svingen’s books for children and young people will recognise the playful language and the irrepressible gallows humour.'AFTENPOSTEN
