The provocative, audacious, brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel that has unquestionably been the main event of contemporary European literature.

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.
Nadat Karl Ove Knausgård zijn vriendin verlaten heeft vertrekt hij eenzaam en gedeprimeerd naar Stockholm. Voor hij het weet heeft hij niet alleen de nieuwe liefde van zijn leven ontmoet, maar loopt hij door Stockholm met zijn pasgeboren dochter in de kinderwagen. Hij lijkt maar geen grip te kunnen krijgen op deze nieuwe ontwikkelingen. Hij wil niets liever dan bezig zijn met het schrijven van een vervolg op zijn bejubelde debuutroman. Maar steeds wanneer hij zich daarop wil concentreren wordt hij afgeleid door verplichte familievakanties, ruzies met strijdlustige buren en de emotionele ellende die kinderfeestjes met zich meebrengen. Liefde is het tweede deel van de Mijn strijd-serie van auteur Karl Ove Knausgård. De zes romans kunnen los van elkaar gelezen worden of als één geweldig ambitieus project. Deze cyclus is de grootste literaire sensatie in Noorwegen in tientallen jaren en stond er meer dan dertig weken op de bestsellerlijsten.
An irresistible story of childhood adventure from the international phenomenon, Karl Ove Knausgaard. * Karl Ove Knausgaard's dazzling new novel, The Morning Star, is available to pre-order now * Childhood is exhilarating and terrifying. For the young Karl Ove, new houses, classes and friends are met with manic excitement and creeping dread. Adults occupy godlike positions of power, benevolent in the case of his doting mother, tyrannical in the case of his cruel father. In the now infamously direct style of the My Struggle cycle, Knausgaard describes a time in which victories and defeats are felt keenly and every attempt at self-definition is frustrated. This is a book about family, memory and how we never become quite what we set out to be. 'Knausgaard finds the sublime in the everyday... Boyhood Island reverberates with the joys and anxieties of early youth, and Knausgaard brilliantly recreates their exaggerated feel' Times Literary Supplement
Karl Ove po troch rokoch štúdia na gymnáziu v Kristiansande cestuje do severného Nórska, aby tu pracoval rok ako učiteľ. Spoznáva nový svet a získava skúsenosti, ktorým sám nerozumie. Román približuje mladícku neskazenú bezbrehosť aj chvíle hlbokého poníženia, úprimnú nezrelosť a hlad po existenciálnom aj sexuálnom uspokojení. Ponúka pohľad na svet očami osemnásťročného chlapca, zachytený fascinujúcim perom autora, ktorého projekt nemá v európskej literatúre obdobu.
The International bestseller As the youngest student to be admitted to Bergen's prestigious Writing Academy, Karl Ove arrives full of excitement and writerly aspirations. Soon though, he is stripped of his youthful illusions. His writing is revealed to be puerile and clich�d, and his social efforts are a dismal failure. He drowns his shame in drink and rock music. Then, little by little, things begin to change. He falls in love, gives up writing and the beginnings of an adult life take shape. That is, until his self-destructive binges and the irresistible lure of the writer's struggle pull him back. In this latest instalment of the My Struggle cycle, Knausgaard writes with unflinching honesty to deliver the full drama of everyday life.
'The End' is the sixth and final book in the monumental 'My Struggle' cycle, which depicts life in all its shades, from moments of great drama to seemingly trivial everyday details. Here, Karl Ove Knausgård examines life, death, love and literature with unsparing rigour and begins to count the cost of his project. He reflects on the fallout from the earlier books as he faces 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 frailties and doubts.
