Hans Jakob Helms’ critically acclaimed collection of short stories "The Genevan Dance", subtitled "Stories from the World", gives us a rare glimpse into the world of the politicians and top officials who travel around the globe to attend exclusive conferences and meetings about the future of the world. The reader is also shown around the distant corners of the earth where the little guy is struggling to be heard –often in vain. The six stories of "The Genevan Dance" play out in the area of tension between these two worlds. Together the stories paint a picture of a man who – in a world of dreams, intrigues and serious political negotiations – develops into what one critic has called "the official man". What sets the book apart is the author’s own acquaintance with the characters that appear in the book and the authenticity that springs from the fact that we meet the characters in real conferences and meetings. The short stories of "The Genevan Dance" can be read separately or as a bildungsroman about the inner life and personal development of the main character who gradually comes to a deeper understanding of the agendas and intrigues the international world order consists of and eventually joins in the dance. The Danish author Hans Jakob Helms was born in East Greenland in 1949. Hans Jakob Helms’ books are inspired by his great knowledge of Greenland, his many years of experience as an official in both Greenland and Denmark and as a participant of conferences and negotiations all over the world. His first novel, "Giftpølen" was published in 1977 and was followed up by several critically acclaimed books. His book, "Hold da kræft mand" (2017) is about his own experiences with prostate cancer.
When computed tomography (CT) was developed and introduced by Hounsfield (1973), a new era of clinical diagnostic potential began. At the same time CT created new difficulties, in that the physicians who had to deal with the CT images were not acquainted with their interpre tation. Therefore, it became necessary to compare CT scans with ana tomical sections, which gave additional information by virtue of their higher resolution, the different colors and consistencies of the struc tures, and the possibility to trace these structures across several sections. Several atlases comparing CT scans and anatomical sections were pub lished soon after the introduction of the new technique. The resolving power of the new scanners has increased consider ably, necessitating a renewed comparison between CT scans and ana tomical sections. A threefold need for higher-quality anatomical sec tions has also become evident: First, tissue preservation should be excellent. Second, the sections should not be thicker than the scans ob tained by the CT procedure. Third, the series of sections should be complete in order to permit three-dimensional reconstructions. We have tried to meet these requirements, restricting ourselves to the analysis of the lower extremity. The leg had to be scanned serially, then cut in serial sections in such a way that the CT planes and the ana tomical sections corresponded optimally. As many sections had to be il lustrated as were necessary to demonstrate changes in the internal struc ture of the extremity wherever they occurred.

Jeg så på hendes krop og forestillede mig hende i helt andre omgivelser. Så forlod jeg salen, gik ud i kulturhusets cafeteria, mens jeg tænkte på Aslak og Pekka og Eino og vores kampe i Genève for de oprindelige folks ret til at være folk her på Jorden. Dengang var der langt til det simple faktum. Det var der stadigvæk. For dem." Historien "The Sami Air Force" tager os med ind i den internationale verdens behandling af rettighederne for de mennesker, som vi kender som oprindelige folk. Det er en fortælling om magt og afmagt, om venskaber og om kampen for retten til anerkendelse – indhyllet i et spin af politiske intriger. "The Sami Air Force" er oprindeligt en del af novellesamlingen Dansen i Genève. Samlingens noveller kan læses hver for sig, men læst i forlængelse af hinanden spejler de et udviklingsforløb, hvor hovedpersonen efterhånden kommer til en dybere forståelse af de dagsordener og intriger, der skaber den internationale verdensorden – og lærer at danse med dem. Den danske forfatter Hans Jakob Helms blev født i Østgrønland i 1949. Som forfatter trækker Helms på sit indgående kendskab til Grønland, sin mangeårige erfaring som embedsmand i både Grønland og Danmark, og som deltager i møder og forhandlinger over hele verden. Han debuterede som forfatter i 1977 med miljøkrimien Giftpølen og har sidenhen udgivet en lang række anmelderroste bøger – senest bogen Hold da kræft mand, der er en personlig beretning om livet med prostatakræft.
De to andre sov på sæderne foran. Den grønlandske præsident for organisationen af Inuit i Alaska, Canada og Grønland og hans alaskanske vicepræsident hang ind mod hinanden i deres forede parkaer og snorkede lystigt. Aftenen før havde de været i gang med hver sin spækhuggede skønhed, og i lufthavnen havde de set ud, som om de aldrig var blevet færdige med at feste." Historien "The Danish Nation" bringer os ind i en verden af hemmeligheder, misinformationer og skjulte intentioner under en tilsyneladende uskyldig overflade. En verden, der er lige så uigennemsigtig i de alaskanske indianeres landsby dybt inde i flodens rige som i det danske udenrigsministerium midt i København.
