Norwegian Wood – Lars Mytting’s Celebration of the Scandinavian Way of Wood
What began as a simple guide to stacking logs became an international bestseller and a cultural touchstone. In Norwegian Wood, Lars Mytting explores the deep connection between Scandinavians and the forests that sustain them. Blending folklore, history, and practical instruction, the book shows how cutting, drying, and arranging wood is more than just a chore—it’s a craft, a tradition, and even a philosophy of life.
From the quiet art of selecting the right tree to the meditative rhythm of splitting and stacking, Mytting reveals the timeless wisdom of a culture that has always relied on wood for warmth, survival, and beauty. Along the way, readers will encounter stories of lumberjacks and farmers, rural inventors and modern-day enthusiasts, all of whom find meaning in the grain and fire of wood.
This isn’t just a manual; it’s a love letter to nature, a reflection on sustainability, and a reminder that even in the smallest daily rituals, there is art and purpose. Richly illustrated and filled with insight, Norwegian Wood has inspired readers worldwide to see the simple act of chopping wood in an entirely new way.
