Tarjei Vesaas (1897-1970) was raised and lived on a farm in the isolated Telemark district of southern Norway. A modernist who wrote in the minority form of Norwegian, Nynorsk. Winner of the prestigious Nordic Council Literature Prize. Works include more than twenty-five novels, five books of poetry, and several plays and short stories, he is regarded as one of Norway’s greatest twentieth-century writers.

Elizabeth Rokkan (1925-2016) was a professor of English at the University of Bergen, and one of her era’s foremost translators of Norwegian literature.

A profound exploration of grief, and an intensely lyrical coming-of-age story, this novel is the masterpiece of one of Norway’s greatest writers.

This new printing from Pushkin Press features a new introduction by Karl Ove Knausgaard.
