The Mischievous Boy and The War Hero

– Growing up with my stepfather Max Manus

In this book the author George Manus wants to give the reader an insight into how he, as the stepson of Max Manus, perceived his younger days on Landøya in Asker in the time from when he arrived there in 1946, aged seven, until he moved away from home at the age of 21.

In this book the author George Manus wants to give the reader an insight into how he, as the stepson of Max Manus, perceived his younger days on Landøya in Asker in the time from when he arrived there in 1946, aged seven, until he moved away from home at the age of 21.

Here he has collected stories from his collection of reflections, all of which, in one form or other, relate to Landøya and thereby his stepfather Max. As many of his stories are around 65 to 75 years back in time he reminds readers of some words of wisdom from the author Gabriel Garcia Marques.

“What matters in life is not what happened, but what you remember and how you remember it”.

The book contains three chapters from Max’s war-book Underwater Saboteur, and pictures which are all related to the time it was about, some from Max Manus own pictures.

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.

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.

The Rat Catcher

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.

Reflections II
