Jonas and the River: Bilingual Stories in Danish and English

By Pomme Bilingual

Jonas and the River: Bilingual Stories in Danish and English is a collection of six bilingual short stories written for adult learners of Danish at intermediate (B1-B2) level.

Set in contemporary, everyday Denmark, these stories follow ordinary people whose lives are gently unsettled by moments that are slightly strange, unexpected, or impossible to explain. A librarian discovers a book that seems to write her life before she lives it. A young woman begins to borrow different versions of her face. A man returns to a river that appears to hold fragments of the past. In a quiet caf , a cup of coffee offers a brief return to yesterday. A woman searches for a city that may exist only in memory. And a lonely office worker notices a cloud that begins to follow her.

Blending realism with subtle elements of magical realism and psychological reflection, these stories explore memory, identity, time, and the ways we understand ourselves through place and experience.

Each story is presented in clear, natural Danish with an English translation, making the book ideal for reading practice, vocabulary development, and immersion in authentic Danish storytelling at intermediate level.
