The Unworthy - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Unworthy - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

"Jacobsen can make almost anything catch the light . . . One of Norway''s greatest writers on the working class" Times Literary Supplement They''re a gang without a name - Olav, Carl, Roar, Jan and Vidar - teenage boys growing up in a working-class area of Oslo under the shadow of Nazi occupation. They live in poverty but earn a crust by creatively swindling their fellow citizens, falsifying documents and stealing like magpies. And they don''t shy away from targeting the Enemy, either.But everything changes when Carl''s father hands him a secret map and a German password, just hours before he''s taken away by the Quisling police - only to return in a coffin. And when Olav''s father also disappears, the gang come to see that they are caught up in something far more serious than their usual petty crimes.Taking in love, death, betrayal and tragedy, The Unworthy is the latest masterpiece from Roy Jacobsen, author of the International Booker-shortlisted The Unseen . It shines a light on a brutal aspect of the war rarely explored in fiction, and every sentence is imbued with decades of accumulated wisdom from a writer who had his own brushes with the law in his youth. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw

Just a Mother - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Just a Mother - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The fourth novel in a historical series that began with the International Booker-shortlisted The Unseen "Taken together, Jacobsen has given us an epic of Norway''s experience of the first half of the 20th century that is subtle and moving" David Mills, Sunday Times "Jacobsen can make almost anything catch the light . . . One of Norway''s greatest writers on the working class" Times Literary Supplement A childless island is no island at all. Ingrid Marie Barrøy has returned to the island that bears her name, bringing up her daughter with the other children that came with the war, who will someday raise their own children until an island that was empty is singing once more with life.And soon another will arrive, a child of the war and an orphan of the peace, whom Ingrid will fight to make her own, and whose interests may, in time, collide with those of certain others on the island, forcing her to make a choice she will long regret.The sea brings the island all it has - herring for salting, eider ducks for down - but Ingrid knows, has alwaysknown, that one day it may wish to take something back. But until that day, she continues to live by one simple truth: There is no limit to what you can do with an island, the imagination sets the only limits, as with the sea. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw Reviews for The Unseen "Even by his high standards, his magnificent new novel The Unseen is Jacobsen''s finest to date, as blunt as it is subtle and is easily among the best books I have ever read" Eileen Battersby, Irish Times "A beautifully crafted novel . . . Quite simply a brilliant piece of work . . . Rendered beautifully into English by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw, The Unseen is a towering achievement that would be a deserved Booker International winner" Charlie Connelly, New European. "A profound interrogation of freedom and fate, as well as a fascinating portrait of a vanished time, written in prose as clear and washed clean as the world after a storm" Justine Jordan, Guardian "The subtle translation, with its invented dialect, conveys a timeless, provincial voice . . . The Unseen is a blunt, brilliant book" Tom Graham, Financial Times.

The third novel in a historical trilogy that began with the International Booker shortlisted The Unseen "Taken together, Jacobsen has given us an epic of Norway''s experience of the first half of the 20th century that is subtle and moving" David Mills, Sunday Times "Jacobsen can make almost anything catch the light . . . One of Norway''s greatest writers on the working class" Times Literary Supplement The journey had taken on its own momentum, it had become an autonomous, independent entity, she was searching for love, and was still happily unaware that truth is the first casualty of peace.

And before her journey''s end she will be forced to ask herself how well she knows the man she is risking everything to find.

The Man Who Loved Siberia - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Man Who Loved Siberia - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Siberia, to me, is a fairy-tale land. Fritz Dörries set out on his first trip to Eastern Siberia in 1877, when there were still blank spaces on maps of the world. Travelling alone or with his brothers, he climbed mountains, traversed great rivers, explored remote islands and crossed treacherous lakes of ice, always with one purpose: to augment man''s knowledge of the natural world. Bears, tigers, vipers, bandits, stormy seas, frostbite, ice chasms fathoms deep - every danger was faced head on and overcome. And yet he remained defenceless against the charms of the landscape, and the animals, birds and butterflies he found there.Through his twenty-two years in Siberia, Dörries collected a wealth of essential material for scientific institutions, fundamental to our understanding of fauna and flora. This account of his adventures, set down for his daughters in his ninetieth year, and adapted for publication by Roy Jacobsen and Anneliese Pitz, is his second great legacy. Translated from the Norwegian by Seán Kinsella

The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''A compact and compelling novel by an iconic Norwegian writer...[and] thanks to Don Bartlett and Don Shaw''s crisp translation, we see it obliquely'' - Independent Set in Finland in 1939, this is the story of one man who remains in his home town when everyone else has fled, burning down their houses in their wake, before the invading Russians arrive. Timo remains behind because he can''t imagine life anywhere else, doing anything else besides felling the trees near his home. This is a novel about belonging - a tale of powerful and forbidden friendships forged during a war, of unexpected bravery and astonishing survival instincts. The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles is not a novel about war, but about the lives of ordinary people dragged into war, each of whom only wants to find the path back home. Roy Jacobsen uses the dramatic natural landscape of light and darkness, fire-blazing heat and life-robbing cold to spectacular effect.

Her mother has her own dreams - more children, a smaller island, a different life - and there is one question Ingrid must never ask her.Island life is hard, a living scratched from the dirt or trawled from the sea, so when Ingrid comes of age, she is sent to the mainland to work for one of the wealthy families on the coast.But Norway too is waking up to a wider world, a modern world that is capricious and can be cruel. Tragedy strikes, and Ingrid must fight to protect the home she thought she had left behind. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw

White Shadow - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The sequel to the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted The Unseen "A gifted writer, stylish, laconic and imaginative" Paul Owen, TLS "A beautiful sequel to The Unseen , set around the remote & unforgiving island of Barrøy during WWII. A note-perfect combination of taciturnity, austerity, passion and weather. Sublime" - Rónán Hession, author of Leonard and Hungry Paul No-one can be alone on an island . . . But Ingrid is alone on Barrøy, the island that bears her name, while the war of her childhood has been replaced by a new more terrible war and Norway is under the Nazi boot.When the bodies from a bombed troopship begin to wash up on the shore, Ingrid cannot know that one will be alive and warm enough to erase a lifetime of loneliness.She cannot know what she will suffer in protecting her lover from the Germans and their Norwegian collaborators, nor the journey she will face, wrenched from her island once more, to return home.Or that, amid the suffering of war, among refugees fleeing famine and scorched-earth retreats, she will be given a gift whose value is beyond measure.

However, they quickly discover that Marcus is on to something: Every two years for the past three decades, there have been unusual, impeccably timed deaths with connections between them that cannot be ignored.
