Es ist Sommer in Norwegen. Eigentlich eine beschauliche Zeit. Doch nun scheint etwas aus den Fugen geraten zu sein. Krabben spazieren an Land, Ratten tauchen an überraschenden Stellen auf: Die Tiere verhalten sich wider ihre Natur. Neun Menschen erzählen in diesen Sommertagen ihr Leben. Da ist zum Beispiel der Literaturprofessor Arne, der mit seiner Familie die Tage im Sommerhaus verbringt, an sich selbst zweifelt und mit seinem Nachbarn Egil über den Glauben an Gott diskutiert. Oder der Journalist Jostein, der auf einer exzessiven Trinktour von den mysteriösen Morden an Mitgliedern einer Death Metal Band hört.

An NPR Best Book of 2023 “Knausgaard is back, with a compulsively readable new novel.” —The Washington Post “The Wolves of Eternity, like some 19th-century Russian novel, wrestles with the great contraries: the materialist view and the religious, the world as cosmic accident versus...

My Struggle: Book One introduces American listeners to the audacious, addictive, and profoundly surprising international literary sensation that is the provocative and brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel by Karl Ove Knausgaard. It has already been anointed a Proustian masterpiece and is the rare work of dazzling literary originality that is intensely, irresistibly readable.

In the second installment of Karl Ove Knausgaard's monumental six-volume masterpiece, the character Karl Ove Knausgaard moves to Stockholm, where, having left his wife, he leads a solitary existence. He strikes up a deep friendship with another exiled Norwegian, a Nietzschean intellectual and boxing fanatic named Geir. He also tracks down Linda, whom he met at a writers' workshop a few years earlier and who fascinated him deeply.

It's a normal night in August. Literature professor Arne and artist Tove are with their children at the resort in Sørlandet. Their friend, Egil, a driver by day, is staying in a cabin nearby. Kathrine, a priest, is on her way home from a seminar; the journalist Jostein is out on the town; and his wife, Turid, who is an assistant nurse, has a night shift. Above them all, a huge star suddenly appears in the sky. No one, not even the astronomers, knows for sure what kind of phenomenon it is. 

Woher das Leben kommt und was es eigentlich ist: Um diese beiden Fragen kreist der neue Roman von Karl Ove Knausgård – der, wenn man so will, eine Art Prequel zum international bejubelten "Der Morgenstern" darstellt. Was ist geschehen, bevor dieser unerklärliche, weithin sichtbare unbekannte Stern am Himmel auftauchte und scheinbar sämtliche physikalische Regeln außer Kraft setzte? "Die Wölfe aus dem Wald der Ewigkeit" beginnt im Jahr 1986. In Norwegen gibt es eine Regierungskrise, und im fernen Tschernobyl ist ein Atomreaktor explodiert.

Beginning in the Garden of Eden and soaring through to the present, A Time for Everything reimagines pivotal encounters between humans and angels: the glow of the cherubim watching over Eden; the profound love between Cain and Abel despite their differences; Lot's shame in Sodom; Noah's isolation before the flood; Ezekiel tied to his bed, prophesying ferociously; the death of Christ; and the emergence of sensual, mischievous cherubs in the 17th century.

Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about his childhood and teenage years, his infatuation with rock music, his relationship with his loving yet almost invisible mother and his distant and unpredictable father and his bewilderment and grief on his father’s death. When Karl Ove becomes a father himself...

The conclusion to one of the most extraordinary and original literary projects in recent years, Summer once again intersperses short, vividly descriptive essays with emotionally raw diary entries addressed directly to Knausgaard's newborn daughter. Writing more expansively and, if it is possible, even more intimately and unguardedly than in the previous three volumes, he mines with new depth his difficult memories of his childhood and fraught relationship with his own father.  

This book is about fresh starts, about love, about friendship. It is also about the earth-shattering experience of becoming a father, the mundane struggles of family life, ridiculously unsuccessful holidays, the emotional strains of children’s’ birthday parties and pushing a pram around...
