Welcome to The Expat, a bookstore for internationals in Denmark.
More than 500,000 titles in stock
Two worlds, two systems, one physicist who sees both clearly. Le Guin doesn’t resolve the tension between them — she lives in it. The most honest political novel written as science fiction.
318 pagesA novel about authenticity and obsession. Quietly disturbing in ways that accumulate slowly.
272 pages Low stockA soldier waits his whole life for a war that may never arrive.
224 pages Low stockScience fiction you haven't read
Not the canonical list. The books that fell through the cracks, or never made it to English-language bestseller lists in the first place.
An alien visit happened. Nobody knows what for. We're left with the debris.
183 pagesFour versions of one woman across four timelines. Angry, precise, and funnier than it has any right to be.
240 pages Low stockContact with an alien intelligence that might be reflecting us back at ourselves.
204 pagesDead people worth arguing with
Theory, philosophy, history of ideas. Books that changed how people thought — and might change how you do.
The propaganda model. How mass media structures public opinion without needing to lie. Uncomfortable the first time. Unavoidable after.
480 pagesFor small people with big questions
Books that respect children's intelligence. No easy answers, no lessons underlined. Just good stories that stay with you.
Anger, imagination, and coming home. Nobody has improved on this.
48 pagesIllustr. Ingrid Vang Nyman
A child who answers to no one and is stronger than any adult. Still radical.

32 pagesThe world is better than you think and here is the data. A good antidote to doom.
256 pages Low stockUtopia as dystopia. Still the best introduction to political philosophy for a 12-year-old.
