Liv kan vara så olika (Swedish)
""Sometimes I can really grieve over this, that so many people, so infinitely many, have lived on our earth and died without leaving any trace behind them, nothing that can proclaim to us who are living now: I have also lived!"This is how Astrid Lindgren begins her book of essays about two human destinies about Luise Justine Mejer and Andrew Peterson, people she got to know through diaries and letters. The essays are also included in the book Samuel August from Sevedstorp and Hanna in Hult."

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.
