Congratulations to Norstedts! 🎉 We are excited to share that this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, László Krasznahorkai, is published in Sweden by Norstedts Förlagsgrupp! Explore his works here: https://lnkd.in/dAwU4etA #NobelPrize #Norstedts #LászlóKrasznahorkai Bodil Eriksson Torp Linda Säresand Olle Lidbom Helena Gustafsson Claus Wamsler-Nielsen Johan Ståhle Anna Etzler Oleh Nesterenko Malin Lindborn Josefin Johansson Åsa Wilson Stefan Ward
BREAKING NEWS The 2025 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai “for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art.” The author László Krasznahorkai was born in 1954 in the small town of Gyula in southeast Hungary, near the Romanian border. A similar remote rural area is the scene of Krasznahorkai’s first novel ‘Sátántangó’, published in 1985 (‘Satantango’, 2012), which was a literary sensation in Hungary and the author’s breakthrough work. The novel portrays, in powerfully suggestive terms, a destitute group of residents on an abandoned collective farm in the Hungarian countryside just before the fall of communism. Silence and anticipation reign, until the charismatic Irimiás and his crony Petrina, who were believed by all to be dead, suddenly appear on the scene. To the waiting residents, they seem as messengers either of hope or of the last judgement. The satanic element referred to in the title of the book is present in their slave morality and in the pretences of the trickster Irimiás which, effective as they are deceitful, leave almost all of them tied up in knots. Everyone in the novel is waiting for a miracle to happen, a hope that is from the very outset punctured by the book’s introductory Kafka motto: ‘In that case, I’ll miss the thing by waiting for it.’ The novel was made into a highly original 1994 film in collaboration with the director Béla Tarr. The American critic Susan Sontag soon crowned Krasznahorkai contemporary literature’s ‘master of the apocalypse’, a judgement she arrived at after having read the author’s second book ‘Az ellenállás melankóliája’ (1989; ‘The Melancholy of Resistance’, 1998). Here, in a feverish horror fantasy played out in a small Hungarian town nestled in a Carpathian valley, the drama has been heightened even further. From the very first page, we – together with the charmless Mrs Pflaum – find ourselves entering a dizzying state of emergency. Ominous signs abound. Crucial to the dramatic sequence of events is the arrival in the city of a ghostly circus, whose main attraction is the carcass of a giant whale. This mysterious and menacing spectacle sets extreme forces in motion, prompting the spread of both violence and vandalism. Meanwhile, the inability of the military to prevent anarchy creates the possibility of a dictatorial coup. Employing dreamlike scenes and grotesque characterisations, László Krasznahorkai masterfully portrays the brutal struggle between order and disorder. None may escape the effects of terror.

This year's Banned Books Week is here and our own Rabén & Sjögren the leading children's and young adult publisher within the Storytel Group, is taking a stand for free expression. Rabén & Sjögren are releasing a special edition of Astrid Lindgren's timeless classic, The Brothers Lionheart. Its history is a testament to the power of stories. In the 1980s, when the book was banned in Czechoslovakia, a translator secretly created and circulated copies using just a typewriter. Watch the video to learn more about this remarkable project, a collaboration with Svenska PEN / PEN Sweden, the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, and The Astrid Lindgren Company

Day 1 at Bokmässan / Gothenburg Book Fair is off to a powerful start! Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH (School of Gymnastics and Sports) entered the Storytel stage and shared valuable insights from their study, "Skolprojektet för hjärnhälsa" (School Project for Brain Health). 🧠 This insightful research explores how audiobooks can help tackle critical challenges facing Swedish youth, from declining physical activity to mental well-being and reading comprehension. Some of the findings include: 🧡 22% of the students increased their interest in audiobooks after the project. 🧡 41% actively combined listening with walking or other physical activity in their free time. The powerful connection is captured perfectly in one students' own words: "I usually read at the same time as I listen to hear everything they're saying." 🎧📚 Storytel is proud to be partnering with GIH and we’re happy to learn about how audiobooks can be an important gateway to both a love for stories and a healthier, more active life. 💪
