Professor Harald N. Røstvik, a longtime friend and collaborator of Morten Harket and a pioneer in the field of solar energy, has written a new book about his life called Fragmenter av et godt liv [Fragments of a good life]. It will be published on 12 December.

The book chronicles Røstvik’s career and projects from 1970 to 2025, and will include info about renewable energy projects where he worked together with Morten Harket in Norway, the Maldives and East Timor. Røstvik promises a lot of historically interesting material, pictures and drawings.

Harald and Morten first met each other in Sri Lanka in 1987 and went on to work together on a number of projects, including importing the first modern electric vehicle to Norway in 1989 and making the short film The Sunshine Revolution in 1991.

The new book is in Norwegian and can be ordered from the publisher Kolofon Forlag or from book stores such as Ark, Norli or Akademika.

For people outside of Norway, the book store Bokkilden can offer international shipping.
