September is World Kid Lit Month, an initiative focusing on disseminating literature for young readers written in languages other than English, and books that are available in English translation.
In Norway, we are very proud of our brave literature for children and young adults, and many titles are available in English translation. And we are of course happy to present a small selection.
September is World Kid Lit Month, an initiative focusing on disseminating literature for young readers written in languages other than English, and books that are available in English translation.
In 2019, Norway was Guest of Honour at the Frankfurter Buchmesse. As Guest of Honour Norway organised an extensive literary and cultural programme throughout 2019. Both in the German speaking area as well as internationally and in Norway. The project culminated at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in October 2019.
The motto for the project was ‘The Dream We Carry’. It derives from a poem by Olav H. Hauge. It expresses the wish we have that Norwegian literature and arts will open doors to and hearts of an international audience.
Read more about the poem.
The Guest of Honour project has been Norway’s largest cultural export project ever. Norwegian literature abroad, NORLA, organised the project on behalf of the Norwegian Government. Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit is the ambassador for Norwegian literature abroad.
For information about Norwegian literature, the project and all events in Germany, Austria and Switzerland please visit our Guest of Honour website: www.norway2019.com
