Welcome to the Web Site of Erling Amble

The world is crazy, but it is also still possible to find spots of light.

( For instance, take a look at the stars of the night! )

So far in 2025 the madness of the world has only increased towards new levels of absurdity. It is easy to feel resigned about how everything seems to move towards misery. For me fortunately this devastating feeling is accompanied

with a rage that gives me a certain energy to continue my attempts to put the madness in some kind of perspective. Besides this, the site includes several other topics, like some stories from my childhood in the 1950ies, and tips about certain books worth reading etc.

  In spite of all other problems,
  taking care of life on earth
  is the most important of all.
  Many people believe corks are just
   stupid, but they have probably not
  tried to chat with them.
  Can nobody stop Trump? many
  people are asking themselves these
  days. Yes, may be there ist.
  Some satirical commentaries,
  but also some more serious ones
  to various issues.
  It is said that more and more people
  do not read books. That is a pity, for
  they are missing lots of adventures.
  Here you can see a selection
   of the paintings my wife Vigdis Bøhmer
  has been making the last ten years.
  Who is actually this elephant
  that we more and more often
  hear people talk about ?
  It was a different kind of life, and the
  fifties all in all were very different
  from the time we live in today.
