Denna dagen, ett liv (Swedish)
"""I just live on and think you should treat every day as if it were the only one you have," said Astrid Lindgren, who died in 2002, at the age of 94. The words ""This day, one life"" followed her all the way through life, love and art, like a mantra and a meaning of man's rudely short life: Seize it, enjoy it, use it!This day, a life - a biography of Astrid Lindgren, by the Danish author and literary scholar Jens Andersen, is the first Nordic Astrid Lindgren biography in forty years. It is based on a number of never-before-published letters, diaries and photographs, as well as on half a year of conversations with Astrid Lindgren's daughter Karin Nyman, who closely followed her famous mother's career and divisiveness in the face of fame, wealth, loneliness, power - and men.

Astrid Lindgren in Norway
The first to bring Astrid Lindgren's books abroad was the publisher Damm & Søn in Oslo, with their Norwegian edition of "Pippi Longstocking" already appearing in 1946. This marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Today, most of her books in Norway are published by Cappelen Damm, a publishing house formed through the merger of Cappelen and Damm. Astrid's book adaptations into films also became popular in Norway, as did her famous songs. One of Astrid Lindgren's favorite books was "Hunger" by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun; she often mentioned it as one of her greatest reading experiences.
