to north of the Arctic Circle, and are weighted towards famous
areas like Jotunheimen and Lofoten. Individual chapters provide

Fellowship
of Ghosts: A Journey Through the Mountains of Norway
The author of Stand Before Your God recounts his recent solo
journeys on foot through Norway's mountains, describing the
beautiful country, with its blue snowfields and valleys bordered
by thousand-foot cliffs, as well as the harsh terrain.
Norway
(Rough Guide Travel Guides S.)
Tour Norway. The Rough Guide to Norway covers everything from
urbane Oslo to the remote Arctic town of Tromso and from the
idyllic off-shore islands to the awe-inspiring fjords. It contains
a 24 page, full-colour photographic introduction, previewing
the country's highlights as chosen by the author. The guide
includes insights into the cosmopolitan city of Oslo, with pertinent
descriptions of museums and art galleries, and uncovers Norway's
dramatic scenery, some of the wildest in Europe. The contexts
section contains illuminating coverage of Norway's culture and
history, from its picturesque medieval wooden churches to Oslo's
contemporary art scene.
Norway:
the Northern Playground
Tour Norway. The story of the first ascents of many of Norway's
most dramatic peaks, Slingsby's book is still a very relevant
guidebook to many Norwegian mountain areas today. Slingsby was
one of the leading climbers of his generation, climbing in Britain
and the Alps, and he is still held in the highest regard in
Norway as the father of Norwegian mountaineering. In contrast
to many areas of the Alps, the Norse mountains have been spared
the same proliferation of telepheriques and ski resorts; and
so many of the corries and peaks are still in the same wilderness
condition as when Slingsby first climbed them. Norway, The Northern
Playground has long been regarded by many as an indispensable
work on the region. So, if you're looking for the English language
overview of the Norwegian mountains or just an exciting ripping
yarn to while away a long winter's night, this book cannot be
recommended enough.
The
Pilgrim Road to Nidaros: Oslo to Trondheim (Cicerone International
Walking S.)
Walk Norway. This title is a walker's guide to the 643 km medieval
pilgrim road from Oslo to Nidaros (Trondheim) cathedral, where
Saint Olav (king of Norway, and responsible for much of the
conversion of the country to Christianity) was buried. His shrine
was the focus not only of many miracles but also of the fourth
most important pilgrim route in Europe after Rome, Jerusalem
and Santiago de Compestela, and from the tenth century until
the Reformation it attracted pilgrims not only from Norway and
the rest of Scandinavia but from Russia, the Baltic countries,
Germany and Britain as well. Cleared and waymarked in 1997 the
route has been "rediscovered", and is being actively
promoted as a walking pilgrim path. This is the only guide to
the route in English. As well as giving directions for walking
the route, the book also provides information on places of interest
along the way and the history of the pilgrimage, a list of suggestions
for further reading and a glossary of geographical and useful
terms.
Walking
in Norway (Cicerone Mountain Walking S.)
Walk Norway. This book describes 20 walking routes in the main
mountain areas of Norway, ranging from the Far South to the
Arctic regions. Chosen because they are of particular interest
to the visiting walker, all trips described are accessible by
public transport. Many of the mountain areas are close to one
another, making it easy to connect different routes for a fortnight's
holiday. Route descriptions, divided into daily segments, vary
in length from a few days to over a week. Fact panels provide
information on level of difficulty, base, maps etc. Introductory
sections to each chapter detail unique information about each
region and transport to the area. Summary tables list the hourly
estimates of the walking time necessary between points on a
route. Route profiles provide an approximate picture of a trail's
steepness and trail maps give an instant picture of the entire
route. This book will, hopefully, encourage visitors to explore
the Norwegian mountains. You will find some of the most beautiful
mountain landscape in the world. Unlike what you find in many
of the alpine areas of Central Europe, these mountains are relatively
free from crowds, and few roads criss-cross through this remote
landscape. Providing an ideal setting for the walker, cairned
routes twist through splendid scenery and link up with comfortable
mountain lodges. You will meet a kind and proud people who will
enthusiastically share with you there love for their mountains.
View the jagged spires of the Jotunheimen, climb the high peaks
of the Rondane, explore the isolated arctic mountains of the
Troms Border Trail, and ramble along the mountain plateau of
the Hardangervidda. You can wander for days without a bother,
and leave the cares of the city behind.
Leopard
VI: The Norwegian Feeling for Real (Leopard S.)
This is a collection of the most exciting and the most interesting
short fiction being produced now and over the past four decades
by Norwegian writers. The editors, a celebrated critic and academic,
a distinguished publisher, and a renowned author, have made
their selection to mark the centenary of Norway's secession
from Sweden, a milestone that will be the occasion for extensive
festivities and almost year-long cultural and diplomatic activity
throughout 2005. The focus of the authors is, predictably and
as the title of the anthology implies, in the real and raw concerns
of contemporary life. The range of these stories, not a few
by writers familiar to readers in English, is testament to the
vigour and depth of Norway's literary genius.

Troll with No Heart in His Body and Other Tales of Trolls from
Norway
A collection of Norwegian folktales all featuring trolls: The

and an Ant, Butterball, The Boy and the North Wind, The White
Cat in the Dovre Mountain, The Sailors and the Troll, The Eating
Competition, and The Troll with No Heart in His Body.
Tastes
and Tales of Norway

such as Salmon Marinated in Hardanger Apple Cider, Fruit Soup,
Norwegian Pancakes, and Cinnamon Wheels. Also included are historical
accounts, local customs, and excerpts from Norwegian folk songs,
traditional blessings, poetry, and mythology.
Munch:
At the Munch Museum, Oslo
Edvard Munch is Norway's most important painter and graphic
artist and the only one to exercise a decisive influence on
European art. A forerunner of Expressionism, his works were
influenced by an early life tortured by sickness, insanity,
rejection and guilt and he worked through his neuroses in his
paintings. With the greatest consistency throughout his life,
Munch created a life's work which would not only enable the
deepest problems of the century to live on into our time, but
also says something about human existence, which couldn't be
put into words. Right up to the last days of his life, Munch
shed light on anxiety as an existential problem. This beautifully
produced survey of the painter from the Curators at the Munch
Museum in Oslo is a rich exploration of his life, his paintings
and his graphic works.
