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.

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.

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.
