Max Manus

The Rat Catcher (English version)

RAT CATCHER was the term given to the Norwegian resistance fighters who performed the dirtiest jobs during the Second World War.
They liquidated informers, torturers and other Norwegians who worked for the Germans. THE RAT CATCHER was written by my stepfather Max Manus (1914-1996), in 1948.

Stories & Thoughts I

– Thoughts are duty-free
After the release of his first three books, REFLECTIONS I – II and III, the last one in late 2017, George Manus thought it might stop there. However, after publishing the series of books he calls WORDS FOR THE ROAD – short reflections and puns, he now comes with a new twist based on the same theme – STORIES & THOUGHTS I.

Reflections III

– In words and fantasy images
A reflection is an afterthought. While things are happening, we only think about the here and now. It's only afterwards that we have the opportunity to rethink, analyse, consider and REFLECT.

Innovations & Creations

– Inventions from 2003 to 2014 (English only)
This all started in the beginning of 2000. I had partly retired from our family business with headquarters in Oslo, already in good hands of my daughter and son in law, and had moved to Spain to start my active retirement life with my Swiss wife Marianne, whom I married in 1998. My main hobby became inventions and creations, mainly related to Golf. I took it as my first challenge to construct the most compact collapsible Golf Trolley ever seen.

Reflections II

– In words and proverbs

Thoughts

– and dashes
THOUGHTS provided the author with inspiration to write his book series REFLECTIONS I, II and III. At first glance a thought and a reflection fit hand in glove, but according to George Manus, his thoughts are written in a more targeted fashion and over a short period of time, whereas he in his books REFLECTIONS writes over a much longer period, sometimes lasting years.
