Overview

Forlaget Sohn is a Danish publishing house associated with the author and former politician Ole Sohn. Operating from Denmark, the publisher's official website, sohn.dk, presents a catalogue centred on historical non-fiction and memoir, alongside a programme of public lectures (foredrag) given by Ole Sohn himself. Titles highlighted on the site include 'Jeg kommer snart hjem' (I Will Be Home Soon), described as being in its fifth printing and set during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, where a Danish emigrant's son found himself in the eye of the storm in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine; 'De drog mod øst' (They Went East); 'Fra skibskok til minister' (From Ship's Cook to Minister); 'Fra Folketinget til celle 290' (From the Folketing to Cell 290); 'Frihedens port' (The Gate of Freedom); and 'Danmark – Gateway til Europa' (Denmark – Gateway to Europe). The website also promotes Ole Sohn's lecture series based on these works. The publisher's output reflects Ole Sohn's dual career as a writer and a former member of the Danish Parliament, with themes spanning Danish emigration, Soviet and Eastern European history, and Danish political life. As a small, author-driven imprint, Forlaget Sohn is privately held and does not appear on any stock exchange. Its books are distributed in the Danish market, and its public profile is closely tied to its founder's speaking engagements and media coverage, such as reviews in Weekendavisen and Ekstra Bladet quoted on the website.

History

Forlaget Sohn is a Danish publishing house founded by and associated with Ole Sohn, an author and former politician. The publisher's identity is closely bound to Ole Sohn's own writing and public speaking. Its website, sohn.dk, serves as both a book catalogue and a platform for his lecture activities, listing titles such as 'Jeg kommer snart hjem', 'De drog mod øst', 'Fra skibskok til minister', 'Fra Folketinget til celle 290', 'Frihedens port' and 'Danmark – Gateway til Europa'. The site notes that 'Jeg kommer snart hjem' is in its fifth printing and describes it as a gripping narrative set during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, when a Danish emigrant's son was in the eye of the storm in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine — a region where war is raging again. Reviews from Weekendavisen and Ekstra Bladet are quoted on the homepage. The publisher also promotes a series of lectures (foredrag) based on these books, indicating that Forlaget Sohn operates as a small, author-centred imprint rather than a large trade publisher. No founding year, corporate parent, or stock listing is given in the available evidence; the Wikidata entry Q21241478 exists for the entity but provides no further details in the supplied snippet.
