The lost country Come to an inspiring lecture with Niels Krause-Kjær. Outside is Niels Krause-Kjær's personal account of Denmark in a time of struggle. The novel is fiction, but is based on a travelogue written by his father and his college friends from Røddinge College, over half a century - a book that Niels Krause-Kjær found in the National Archives. In the critically acclaimed novel 'Outside the Country' we follow the struggle of farming couple Erik and Lisbeth to run a farm with dairy cows from the late 1940 s onwards. The big turning point for them came in 1980, when the overproduction of milk and butter in the Common Market meant that they had to give up the dream of farming their own way. The farmhouse on the cover of the book is the author's childhood home a few days before it was demolished. - Date: 5 November 2026 - Time: 14:00–16:00 - Venue: Taastrup Kulturcenter - Address: Poppel Alle 12, Taastrup, Denmark - Admission: Free
