It is the world&#8217;s largest book fair and 2019 is therefore devoted to literature in Norwegian cultural life. In this connection, the Norwegian Embassy in collaboration with the Nordic House offers a couple of Norwegian literary tastes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tore Kv\u00e6ven<\/strong> (1969) is Norwegian sheep farmer, carpenter, teacher and writer from Sirdalen. He lived in Iceland at the end of the nineties. Kv\u00e6ven debuted in 2011 with the thrill novel <em>Hard<\/em> <em>er mitt lands lov<\/em> that he had spent twenty years on writing. The book dealt with Viking expeditions to Africa. His book from 2018 <em>N\u00e5r landet m\u00f8rknar<\/em> is about the Norse settlement in Greenland at the end of the 13th century. For this he was rewarded with the Brage Prize. He has also published a children&#8217;s book. The books have received very good reviews: &#8221; <em>N\u00e5r landet m\u00f8rknar<\/em> is a fascinating tale of the harsh life in Greenland in the Middle Ages, and Kv\u00e6ven again convinces with his knowledge, insightful and composite person portraits and fierce scenic representations.&#8221; Sigmund Jensen, Stavanger Aftenblad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/nor_embassy.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-19806 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/nor_embassy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"159\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 317px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 317\/159;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Image.
