In this book the author George Manus wants to give the reader an insight into how he, as the stepson of Max Manus, perceived his younger days on Landøya in Asker in the time from when he arrived there in 1946, aged seven, until he moved away from home at the age of 21. Here he has collected stories from his collection of reflections, all of which, in one form or other, relate to Landøya and thereby his stepfather Max. As many of his stories a...

This book is a continuation of my STORIES AND THOUGHTS I, and as such contains 25 Reflections. The oldest was put on paper in 1991 and the latest in 2023. I have dedicated the book TO AN UNNAMED PERSON, and obviously had a specific person in mind when I wrote it in 1990, but when I read it today I perceive that as irrelevant. In my opinion, it should remain an unnamed person. Perhaps for you, when you read the book, it may give you associ...

Boken er en fortsettelse av min HISTORIER OG TANKER I, og inneholder som den 25 Refleksjoner. Den eldste ble satt på papiret i 1991 og den siste i 2023. Boken har jeg dedikert TIL EN IKKE NAVNGITT. Jeg hadde naturlig nok en bestemt person i tankene den gang jeg skrev den i 1990, men når jeg leser den i dag oppfatter jeg det som uvesentlig. Etter min mening skal den forbli til en ikke navngitt. Kanskje kan den for deg, når du leser den, gi deg ...

Her har han samlet historier fra sin samling av refleksjoner, som alle, i en eller annen form har relasjon til Landøya og derved hans stefar Max. De fleste har han skrevet de siste årene, mens noen har ...

It is only afterwards that we have time and opportunity to think analogize and consider.The importance the author attaches to the idea of reflection is in other words afterthoughts.In this, his twentieth book, George Manus has picked out thoughts from "Reflecti...
