Embark on a literary
adventure to an extraordinary place: Bornholm, a proud Danish island with
unique characteristics, an international history, and a strategic location in
the Baltic Sea. In this captivating anthology, contributions by acclaimed local
authors offer a glimpse into the island's soul, from its fascinating past to
its contemporary life and spirit. Whether you're scaling heathery heights, or
sipping coffee and enjoying hygge at a village café, this traveller's companion
will delight, inform, and entertain you. Short stories, engaging island lore,
insightful articles, and in-depth interviews will enrich your experience,
leaving you with a deeper understanding of the island's past, present, and
future - and its importance on the world stage.

Edited by Tina Hirschbuehl, A Bornholm Reader explores a range of topics
through the works of Jens Svane Boutrup, Niels Geckler, Rakel Haslund-Gjerrild,
Ane Ipsen, Henning Ipsen, Bruno Kaufmann, Dennis Gade Kofod, Thomas Kofoed
Poulsen, Lars Kofoed Rømer, and Henrik Yde.

A Bornholm Reader is about a rocky island in the Baltic Sea - but it's also
about longing and belonging, and hardship and hope, making it a resonant read
for anyone who connects with these themes.

If you're an armchair traveller - this unique collection of writing will allow
you to delve into the stories of an extraordinary island and gain fascinating
insights into its turbulent history and bright future.

If you're on the island - it's the perfect book to read in cafés, at the beach,
or back at your accommodation after a long day of exploring the sights, sounds,
and tastes.

If you're seeking travel inspiration - learn about a new place through local
writing. Be prepared to be surprised - and inspired!

Happy travels!
