As you might imagine, modern technology came to me like a gift from the Æsir (Norse Gods). With a laptop and a smartphone I can work anywhere I want.
My father was a world-renowned engineer, and large parts of my childhood has been on the move with my parents. They too suffered from wanderlust, and they too were history geeks.
So where is my home? Well, that’s in Greenland. Definitely! And Spain. And Thailand! Sometimes Iceland. Sweden, for eight years. And now I am back in Denmark, so… Yeah… These places, and a few more.
I’m not a crazy adventurer, climbing mountains or paddling through the Amazonas. Just a tourist, you know… A sightseer.
I take pictures with my phone. Not very good pictures, but it helps me find beauty and oddities.
I write postcards. Sometimes short – or rather lengthy – observations and thoughts on Facebook. Sometimes whole books on subjects like history and life in general.
Life is too precious to take too seriously, so my books and posts are often tongue in cheek and attempting to be funny.
I’m a Storyteller, Graphic Designer (ACE, ACI) and Writer.
I’m even a Chaos Coordinator, and have helped many start-ups get started, and several companies out of trouble, by doing what I can with what I have, where I am, now.
Like my predecessors, I sail longboats (though only on Wednesdays).
I’m the father of two beautiful and smart adult girls. I wonder how they turned out so fine.
I live on a horse farm right outside Copenhagen, go to Reykjavik as often as I can, and on adventures as my financial situation permits.
(I’m having a hard time saying “financial” with a straight face. To get rich you must preservere. That’s not my Modus Operandi. Instead I have lived several lives for the price of one.)

Hasse “Hassan” Sørensen (sometimes styled as Hassan Sørensen) is a Danish/Scandinavian author and creative known for several things:
He’s a writer and “rockstar storyteller”, especially writing history and satire.
He’s also a graphic designer.
On the design side, he’s done logo work / visual identity for companies.
He was born in Denmark in 1970 and has lived in Copenhagen and abroad. He advocates for history being told with a “pint of beer” rather than a “laser pointer,” suggesting an opinionated, entertaining approach.
He has authored several books, including:
A Taste of Blood, an unsettling Nordic noir erotic crime comedy with cooking recipes.
Hammered History, which is a pub-style deep dive into human nature (the history of the world told in 540 pages of swear words).
Ásatrú, also known as Norse Paganism, Norse Mythology or Forn Siðr.
Vikingology & Norse Mythology Encyclopedia.
Nah, but I’ve talked to God about it, a fictional work where a journalist interviews God.
Historier rundt om bålet (Stories Around the Campfire), which are anecdotes and peculiar sagas.
He is also credited with graphic design and concept development for other books.
Humor + History: His historical books are not academic textbooks. He writes with a sense of humor, using satire, memorable (sometimes crude) anecdotes, and an approachable tone.
Design-Driven Storytelling: Because he’s also a graphic designer, his books often have design elements that are thoughtfully integrated (layout, design, concept). This dual skill set gives his work a distinct, polished, yet playful feel.
Irreverence + Personality: In his bio (on some book descriptions), he refers to himself as a “rockstar storyteller.”
Self-Awareness: He doesn’t pretend to be a strict academic historian — he acknowledges that some historical simplifications or jokes are part of his style.
He seems to cater to a readership that likes history but hates dry history books. People who prefer stories, humor, and a more “pub-style” narration over footnotes and dates.
His English work (like Hammered History) suggests he’s trying to reach an international audience, not just Danish readers.
Through his design work, he also collaborates with photographers and other authors, bridging visual art and text.
In short, Hasse “Hassan” Sørensen is a multi-talented Nordic creative, combining graphic design with writing, especially known for bringing humor and narrative flair to history.

We use cookies and collect information for two reasons:
1. We use cookies to remember your choice of language, e.g. when you chose English as your preferred language, we will remember your choice when you go from page to page (if the page is available in your chosen language).
2. If you buy something on the website the payment provider will receive your information, and from them we will receive your name and address, so we can send the item to you.
We will not receive your credit/debit card information, and we will not use your contact information for marketing purposes — or any other purpose.
As soon as the items have been sent, we will delete your name and address.
We will not send any advertising emails to you (also known as “spam”).
Compared to other webshops this is very inefficient, and will not give us the option to notify you about other offers. That is because we will treat you the way we want to be treated ourselves.

1. Vi bruger cookies til at huske dit sprogvalg; hvis du f.eks. har valgt dansk som dit foretrukne sprog, husker vi dette valg, når du bevæger dig rundt på siden (forudsat at siden findes på det valgte sprog).
2. Hvis du køber noget på hjemmesiden, modtager betalingsudbyderen dine oplysninger, og vi modtager derefter dit navn og din adresse fra dem, så vi kan sende varen til dig.
Vi modtager ikke oplysninger om dit kredit- eller betalingskort, og vi bruger ikke dine kontaktoplysninger til markedsføring – eller til noget andet formål.
Så snart varerne er afsendt, sletter vi dit navn og din adresse.
Vi sender ikke reklame-e-mails til dig (også kendt som “spam”).
Sammenlignet med andre webshops er dette meget ineffektivt, og det giver os ikke mulighed for at informere dig om andre tilbud. Det gør vi, fordi vi ønsker at behandle dig, ligesom vi selv gerne vil behandles.
