Swedish - American  Author  and  Translator

L a r s  N o r d s t r ö m

Welcome!

By exploring these pages you will be able to find out a little bit about me and some of the things I have written and translated over the years. Some of these books you can order directly through this website--others are now out of print, but may still be found in libraries or through booksellers dealing in used books.

As some of you know, I live on a small vineyard in Beavercreek, Oregon. If you would like to see what it is like, simply click on the link below.


Välkommen!  

Kul att du hittade hit. På de här sidorna kan du läsa lite grann om mig och om de saker jag skrivit och översatt de sista tio-femton åren. En del böcker kan du fortfarande beställa direkt från hemsidan, andra är numera utsålda från förlaget men går kanske att hitta på bibliotek eller antikvariat. (Se sidan med länkar.) 

Som några av er vet, bor jag på en liten vingård i Beavercreek, Oregon. Om du vill se hur det ser ut, klicka på länken nedanför
