Karl Ove Knausgaard Boeken

Op negentienjarige leeftijd verhuist Karl Ove naar Bergen. Vol ambitie en toekomstdromen begint hij met zijn studie aan de schrijversacademie. Het wordt een enorme teleurstelling: het blijkt moeilijker dan gedacht zichzelf opnieuw uit te vinden en zich los te maken van zijn autoritaire vader. Hoewel hij verschillende sterke vriendschappen opbouwt en hij intense liefdesverhoudingen beleeft, blijft zijn talent voor schaamte en zelfkritiek hem achtervolgen. Hij neemt wanhopige en destructieve beslissingen, waardoor hij zichzelf en anderen pijn doet, meestal onder invloed van een flinke hoeveelheid alcohol. Toch houden zijn diepe wens om te schrijven en de liefde voor de paar mensen die dicht bij hem staan hem gaande in een turbulente tijd waarin hij debuteert en zijn vader sterft.

In het autobiografische en goudeerlijke 'Vader' probeert de Noor Karl Ove Knausgård de dood van zijn vader te verwerken. De schrijver klokt af op een kloeke 445 pagina's. Het is daarmee het dunste boek van zijn zes delen en 3.400 pagina's tellende romancyclus 'Mijn strijd'. Hoofdonderwerp is het leven van de schrijver en de dood van zijn vader. Het leven dat het boek beschrijft is bijna doordeweeks, maar het relaas bepaald ambitieus.

Derde deel van de autobiografische zesdelige cyclus 'Mijn strijd', dat de kindertijd van de schrijver beschrijft.

Karl Ove en zijn vrouw Linda staan op het punt een vierde kind te krijgen. Het wordt een meisje, ze zal Anne heten. In drie brieven aan zijn ongeboren dochter vertelt Karl Ove haar hoe robuust het leven is, en hoe mooi. Deze brieven wisselt hij af met korte, persoonlijke teksten over de meest uiteenlopende onderwerpen; van kauwgum, vingers en thermosflessen tot bloed, bladeren en eenzaamheid. Samen vormen deze teksten Annes handleiding voor de wereld. Herfst is het eerste deel van Vier seizoenen.

Set against a backdrop of cosmic mystery, the narrative explores the profound impact of a newly appeared star on humanity.

Spring is a deeply moving, lyrical memoir that reflects on family, everyday life, joys, and struggles, all set within a single day. It begins on April 13, 2016, as the author shares his experiences and thoughts, acknowledging the pain of living while emphasizing the importance of finding something to live for. In this third volume of the Seasons quartet, we follow Karl Ove and his three-month-old daughter, Anna, throughout a day filled with routine, the light of new life, and the shadows of deeper struggles. The narrative celebrates the beauty of the ordinary, revealing the significance hidden within small events in our lives. Unlike the first two volumes, which consist of short texts reflecting on nature and the material world, this installment is a narrative memoir that reads like a short novel. It is emotionally captivating and serves as an accessible entry point for new readers, while also resonating deeply with devoted fans. This edition is beautifully illustrated by acclaimed Swedish artist Anna Bjerger, enhancing the overall experience of the text.

The fourth part of a sensational literary cycle that has been hailed as "perhaps the most important literary enterprise of our times." --Rachel Cusk, Guardian 18 years old and fresh out of high school, Karl Ove Knausgaard moves to a tiny fisherman's village far north of the polar circle to work as a school teacher. He has no interest in the job itself -- or in any other job for that matter. His intention is to save up enough money to travel while finding the space and time to start his writing career. Initially everything looks fine: He writes his first few short stories, finds himself accepted by the hospitable locals and receives flattering attention from several beautiful local girls. But then, as the darkness of the long polar nights start to cover the beautiful landscape, Karl Ove's life also takes a darker turn. The stories he writes tend to repeat themselves, his drinking escalates and causes some disturbing blackouts, his repeated attempts at losing his virginity end in humiliation and shame, and to his own distress he also develops romantic feelings towards one of his 13-year-old students. Along the way, there are flashbacks to his high school years and the roots of his current problems. And then there is the shadow of his father, whose sharply increasing alcohol consumption serves as an ominous backdrop to Karl Ove's own lifestyle.

The provocative, audacious, brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel that has unquestionably been the main event of contemporary European literature. It has earned favorable comparisons to its obvious literary forebears "A la recherche du temps perdu" and "Mein Kampf" but has been celebrated as the rare magnum opus that is intensely, addictively readable.

The End is the sixth and final book in the monumental My Struggle cycle. Here, Karl Ove Knausgaard examines life, death, love and literature with unsparing rigour and begins to count the cost of his project. This last volume reflects on the fallout from the earlier books, with Knausgaard facing the pressures of literary acclaim and its often shattering repercussions. The End is at once a meditation on writing and its relationship with reality, and an account of a writer's relationship with himself - his ambitions, his doubts and frailties. My Struggle depicts life in all its shades, from moments of great drama to seemingly trivial everyday details. It is a project freighted with risk, where the bounds between private and public worlds are tested, not without penalty for the author himself and those around him
