-Why do the people of Aarhus pour water on their computer? - They want to surf the web.'

We all know the watery Aarhus stories about the less talented people of Aarhus. But there are many other stories where Aarhus and the people of Aarhus are the focal point, and where 'the world's smallest city' takes on new and different meanings.

In Harhus Stories, fifteen writers from the Nordic Department at Aarhus University spin a common thread by telling not only the well-known Aarhus stories, but also some lesser-known stories about and from the city. Here is the story of Aarhus' spoken language and Aarhus' entry into Danish literary history, including Steffen Brandt's beach parking, Elisabeth Egholm's crime novels, Svend Åge Madsen's and Tage Skou-Hansen's novels, Peter Laugesen's crow's feet, the old rune stones with the city's first inscriptions, quirky street names and current cultural encounters in Aarhus V.

The city shows itself in writing and speech, literature, TV, film and song lyrics, and the many different connections between place, language and stories are the recurring motif in the book.

Arhus Stories is a literary portrait of a diverse, wondrous and inspiring city - a Jutland wannabe metropolis and a suburb of the big world. A city with and of stories. Fabulative, highbrow and watery.

Fra bjerget til byen is a research series about Aarhus, written by humanities researchers from Aarhus University. Previously published: Cultural Life in Aarhus (2005), Arhus in the World (2006) and The Hidden Aarhus (2008). The books shed light on Aarhus from a professional perspective in an easily accessible language.
