An electrifying honest and autobiographical love story from the international sensation and bestseller, Karl Ove Knausgaard
Karl Ove Knausgaard leaves his wife and everything he knows in Oslo for a fresh start in Stockholm. There he strikes up a deep and competitive friendship with Geir and pursues Linda, a beautiful poet who captivated him years ago.
A Man in Love, the second book of six in the My Struggle cycle, sees Knausgaard write of tempestuous relationships, the trials of parenthood and an urge to create great art. His singular insight and exhilarating honesty must be read to be believed.
Another international sensation from the publishers of Summertime, 1Q84 and HHhH.

This is the first UK edition. *** CONDITION: The book itself is in near fine condition and comes in fine dust jacket. More specifically: Boards have no wear, rubbing or soiling. Dust jacket is in excellent condtion. . Pages are lightly tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett. SYNOPSIS: 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. My Struggle, book two, is at heart a love story - the story of Karl Ove falling in love with his second wife. But the novel also tells other stories: of becoming a father, of the turbulence of family life, of outrageously unsuccessful attempts at a family vacation, of the emotional strain of birthday parties for children, and of the daily frustrations, rhythms, and distractions of city life keeping him from (and filling) his novel. It is a brilliant work that emphatically delivers on the unlikely promise that hundreds of minutes later, listeners will be left breathlessly demanding more. *** Quantity Available: 1.

Vendeur : ModernRare, CHICAGO, IL, Etats-Unis
Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 525 pages. Published in 2013. The second volume of the author's "My Struggle" six-volume novel. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United Kingdom. The translation is published in the United Kingdom as "A Man In Love", and also as part of the British "My Struggle" six-volume cycle. It's the other way around in the United States, where "My Struggle" takes precedence over the individual volumes. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. The production values of the British Edition are superior in every respect to its American counterpart. Presents Karl Ove Knausgaard's "Min Kamp" Volume Two in a felicitous English translation. This man in love. What is the significance of Karl Ove Knausgaard's "My Struggle"? It is the most full-fledged break from the mannerism, academicism, post-modernism, and all the other pretentious and tired isms of our time. It confirms the arrival of a major and original voice in world literature, writing in deceptively simple yet eloquent prose, without crutches. It rejects our obsession with "celebrity lives", by focussing on the tiniest details of one man's ordinary life as well as deeply painful struggle. An absolute "must-have" title for Karl Ove Knausgaard collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed, placed, and dated (shortly before publication) in blue ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Vancouver 21/10/12 Karl Ove Knausgaard". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great book. This is one of very few such signed, placed, and pre-publication dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful signed copy of the book we have ever seen. After all, "A Man In Love" is the rarest - and arguably, the best - title of the Series. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1846554691. Signed by Author. N° de réf. du vendeur 24071
