The Birds
Autor Tarjei Vesaas Traducere de Torbjørn Støverud, Michael Barnesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2025
Mattis doesn't understand much about the world. He doesn't understand why others call him simple. Or why his sister Hege, who has cared for him in their peaceful lakeside cottage since they were young, gets so frustrated. But he knows that the woodcock which starts to fly over their house every day is a sign something is about to change. And when Hege falls in love, disrupting their familiar existence and unbalancing his thoughts, he decides he must face his fate.
Translated by Torbjørn Støverud and Michael Barnes

Recenzii
The
Birdshas
a
freshness
that
can
only
be
due
to
its
timeless
subject
matter...
From
the
first
page,
this
novel
grips
us
with
an
acutely
sensitive
rendition
of
a
mentally
handicapped
man's
inner
world
A masterpiece
A spare, icily humane story... The character of Mattis, absurd and boastful, but also sweet, pathetic and even funny, is shown with great insight. The translation conveys successfully a concentration of style and feeling that seems to be Vesaas' characteristic mark as a novelist
