Hasse Bildt Lindegren
eclipse of the sun • Solformørkelse
Spring 09
Isbn: 978 87 7955 647 8
approx. 400 pages – approx. 349 DKK
The novel comprises 3 decades from 1970 to 2000, and is an independent
continuation of Lindegren’s previous title: The River—The Way to the Ocean
(Floden – vejen til havet). We follow the same charakter, the boy Leo, who grows
up in times of change: the fifties and sixties in Denmark.
The next three decades, filled with hardship and passion, are brought to life in
Eclipse of the Sun in a sensative and intense portrait of the times, of Leo and of
the people around him.
Floden – vejen til havet recieved abundant praise from the literary critics and
a sequel has been frequently requested. Well, now it’s here, and we introduce
Eclipse of the Sun with great pleasure!
Praise for The River—The Way to the Ocean (Floden – vejen til havet):
Lindegren has the arduous and rare ability to create a world
where you can lose yourself, a world where you forget everything
around you. Isn’t that exactly what we, the reader, hope
for each time we open a new novel?

Martin Jensen is best known for his crime novels from the Middle Ages about the
fictive character Eske Litle.
In this his latest novel, we meet a Denmark of the fifties, as seen through the
eyes of a child. Six year old Kaj moves from the city’s worn down housing to a
brand new housing project in Vangede with his parents and his little brother.
Kaj’s life is centered primarily around his beginning in school and soccer, but
WW2 and the German occupation continues to have a strong influence on daily
life in Denmark. When are you a hero and when are you a traiter?
Martin Jensen
Ej så svært • never so difficult
We had an enduring feeling, but now we know for certain:
Martin Jensen is one of the greatest storytellers of our time.

Martin Jensen
flight of the raven • Ravneflugt
We are in the era of the Great Migration around 530 a.d.
Skramme has heard of legendary Rome the whole of his young life. As one of
Rolf Krake’s infantry, he is forced to flee for his life when Rolf falls. He travels
south with a group of comrads and their journey ends in the services of the
Merovingian dynasty. Here they experience the true essence of the witch’s
cauldron that was the “Great Migration”.
A whirl in Martin Jensen’s well tuned time machine is, for me,
an intriguing, extra bonus.

incredibly thrilling, and is written especially for youth. But adults are also in for
a treat.
Three royal siblings, that are not really siblings, journey out into the world in
order to come home again and save their kingdom.
Anne Iversen

Jørgen Lindgreen
Harja, interpreter for the romans • Harja, romernes tolk
The author Jørgen Lindgreen has a long list of popular, historical fiction.
In this, his latest novel, we meet the young, chieftain’s son Harja of Himmerland.
He is tricked into a harsh penalty and declared ‘outlaw’. With no hope for
justice, he takes flight southward and crosses the Rhine. There, the Roman Army,
advancing on the Teutons, take Harja prisoner and he is taken into their service. It
has long been a strategi in Rome to conquer the wild tribes of the north. They can
make good use of the cimbrer for this purpose.
Jørgen Lindgreen masterly weaves his fiction into the historical
fabric, and he tells his story with great energy in a straight forward
manner... this is well qualified, historical entertainment.

Jens Hougaard
romantic love 1-5 • ROMANTISK KÆRLIGHED 1-5
A comprehensive work about the European concept of romantic love.
Hundreds of Danish and European literary works are the ground stone for this
account and analysis of the marital institution in Book 1, the sexual socialization of
men and women, sexualtiy, infatuation and love in Book 2 and 3, particular forms
of spirituality and conscientiousness are at the core of Book 4.
The thorough index in Book 5 is invaluable as reference for this work’ s numerous
topics.
The books can be read in full or in part.
Jens Hougaard is associate
professor in Scandinavian
Literature, Aarhus University.
Romantic love is a major work, created to impress, and this it
does – totally. There is good reason to thank Jens Hougaard for
his toil, but some honor must be given Klim Publishers and
their trademark: to do what much larger publishers neglect to
do. And that is to publish work that is essential for forming
the national cultural identity.

Den danske kreative klasse • The danish creative class
WHO ARE THEY? WHERE DO THEY LIVE? WHAT SIGNIFICANCE DOES IT HAVE IN DENMARK?
Forword by Richard Florida
This is the first analysis of the creative class in Denmark. The book covers a
number of topics from a specifically Danish aspect:
A profile of the Danish creative class both socially and culturally, its educational
makeup, its wage levels and cultural habits, and its professional status.
The book has a broader approach and covers a wider range of subjects than
Richard Florida’s own book The Creative Class. It gives us an introduction to the
theory of the creative class in a Danish context, and can be read as a supplement
to previous books concerning the creative class concept.

Triloki Nath Sharma
The danes—a remarkable people • Danskerne – en bemærkelsesværdigt folk
Triloki Nath Sharma is a sinologist, researcher, and teacher among other
professions.
He comes originally for the Indian Himalaya but has lived in Denmark for
many years. From time shared with Danes, his observations, citations, from
thought and analysis, he has delved deeply into the Danes’ nature and special
characteristics.
India has more than 200 times the population and yet fewer Nobel Prize
recipients than Denmark. Many Danes have accomplished amazing achievements
on both national and international scenes.
What is the background for this talent mass? How can it be explained? What
characterizes the Danes and the Danish culture? Upon which values do the
Danes build their lives?

Tyrkernes Istanbul – En Guide • The turks’ Istanbul— a guide
Istanbul is a bridge connecting east and west; music, art, culture, conflicts and
confluence arise. Istanbul is Europe and Asia, the Orient and the Occident—
and a world in its own right. Churches and mosques, bars and coffee houses,
underground punk and classical concerts, centuries old baths and sparklingly
new malls. Go to Istanbul and see a city change before your eyes: see it as a
researcher, as a writer, as a photographer, as a journalist, artist, translator.
14 contributers, all of them with a passionate attitude toward the largest city in
Turkey, give their own suggestions for what you can and should experience in
Istanbul.
This book is the third in a series of alternative travel guides to the great cities of
the Middel East. The other two explore Cairo and Damascus.

Mikkel Thorup
Pirates, terrorists and states • Pirater, terrorister og stater
At first there doesn’t seem to be much in common between our romanticized
conception of a pirate and the mass terrorism og our own times. Yet, both
expressions of a global threat, have materialized from a nonstate, unconventional
enemy.
The author and idea historian, Mikkel Thorup, has written a number of articles
concerning hostility, terrorism, pirates and anarchists; he also frequently appears
as lecturer on these topics. He has, in addition to his own authorship, acted
as editor of several books about globalization and related political subjects (At
tænke globalt and Kosmopolitik).
... to be srongly recommended as a thought provoking read,
about the way we deal with our worst enemies.
