Hiking guide for the pilgrimage route to Nidaros. Now in English! A full description of the route between Oslo and Trondheim. Whoever embarks on the 643-kilometer pilgrimage route from Oslo to Trondheim follows in the footsteps of the medieval pilgrims who made their way to the tomb of Saint Olav. Nidaros, the ancient name of Trondheim, was one of the four most important pilgrimage sites of the Middle Ages, along with Santiago de Compostela, Rome and Jerusalem. Since 1997, this route has been made accessible again for today's hikers. The popularity of the Olav’s way is growing, but compared to the route to Santiago, it is an oasis of tranquillity. The path crosses the entire 'drop' of Norway, a land full of pure air and endless nature. The hiker walks through farmland, alongside Norway's largest lake, through the wooded Gudbrandsdal which gets higher and narrower, crosses the rugged Dovrefjell plateau and descends to the Trondheimfjord and Nidaros Cathedral. This guide for the Olav’s way is in full colour, richly illustrated and contains: Described stages (including the western route) Maps of the entire route (1 : 50,000) Elevation profiles Background stories Listing of accommodations, shops cafés and restaurants.

Med sitt unike blikk og evne til å få den jevne russer i tale byr Norges ledende sakprosaforfatter, Åsne Seierstad, på et dypdykk i et land mange mener noe om, men få kjenner under overflaten.

En januarnatt i 2023 tar en russisk soldat seg over Pasvikelva i Finnmark. Han er avhopper fra den beryktede Wagner-styrken som kriger i Ukraina, og søker norsk asyl. Den unge mannens dramatiske livshistorie åpner Åsne Seierstads beretning om Russland.

Samtidig som vestlige medier kaller hjem korrespondenter og Russland isolerer seg fra Europa, legger Seierstad ut på lange reiser i det enorme landet. Hun tar leseren med til landsbygda i Sibir, hvor Putin rekrutterer nye soldater, og til storbyene, der folk gjør det de kan for at krigen ikke skal påvirke hverdagen. Hun møter de regimetro, de likegyldige og de som kjemper imot. Underveis flytter hun inn hos Wagner-soldatens tante, bevitner et mislykket mytteri og blir kjent med Russlands forfulgte og trakasserte – de «utenlandske agentene».

The Rough Guide to the 100 Best Islands in the World - the latest picture-packed addition to Rough Guides' Inspiration range - reveals the world's most spectacular archipelagos in a brand-new gift book. From tiny sand-laced specks in tropical waters to remote Arctic archipelagos and wildlife-rich Ecuadorian islands, Rough Guides has combed every corner of the globe to find the most beautiful, curious and surprising islands. In this photo-rich coffee-table book, Rough Guides' dedicated team of experts reveal their favourite spots, from the Bay of Naples' best-kept secret to a haven of pristine wilderness off Canada's Pacific Coast.

Whether you're after nature, history, wildlife or culture, we've got the island for you.
