The Unseen
Autor Roy Jacobsen Traducere de Don Shaw, Don Bartletten Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2020
Born on the Norwegian island that bears her name, Ingrid Barr y's world is circumscribed by storm-scoured rocks and the moods of the sea by which her family lives and dies. But her father dreams of building a quay that will end their isolation, and her mother longs for the island of her youth, and the country faces its own sea change: the advent of a modern world, and all its unpredictability and violence. Brilliantly translated into English by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw, The Unseen is the first book in the Barr y Trilogy and a moving exploration of family, resilience, and fate.

Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize and the Dublin Literary Award
"An absolute masterpiece. Packed with understated emotion, stunning from beginning to end" Courttia Newland, author of A River Called Time
"A masterful and moving work of literature" Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies
"Easily among the best books I have ever read" Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
"A beautifully crafted novel . . . Quite simply a brilliant piece of work" Charlie Connolly, New European
"A blunt, brilliant book" Tom Graham, Financial Times
Nobody can leave an island. An island is a cosmos in a nutshell, where the stars slumber in the grass beneath the snow. But occasionally someone tries . . .
Ingrid Barrøy is born on an island that bears her name - a holdfast for a single family, their livestock, their crops, their hopes and dreams.
Her father dreams of building a quay that will connect them to the mainland, but closer ties to the wider world come at a price. Her mother has her own dreams - more children, a smaller island, a different life - and there is one question Ingrid must never ask her.
Island life is hard, a living scratched from the dirt or trawled from the sea, so when Ingrid comes of age, she is sent to the mainland to work for one of the wealthy families on the coast.
But Norway too is waking up to a wider world, a modern world that is capricious and can be cruel. Tragedy strikes, and Ingrid must fight to protect the home she thought she had left behind.

Recenzii
Even by his high standards, his magnificent new novel The Unseen is Jacobsen's finest to date, as blunt as it is subtle and is easily among the best books I have ever read.
A beautifully crafted novel . . . Quite simply a brilliant piece of work . . . Rendered beautifully into English by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw, The Unseen is a towering achievement that would be a deserved Booker International winner.
A profound interrogation of freedom and fate, as well as a fascinating portrait of a vanished time, written in prose as clear and washed clean as the world after a storm.
The subtle translation, with its invented dialect, conveys a timeless, provincial voice . . . The Unseen is a blunt, brilliant book.
A modern masterpiece . . . A central novel in Norwegian literature.
This is simply a beautiful and moving read . . . A master's hand turning the small into the great.
Roy Jacobsen at his very best . . . A fantastic novel.
Jacobsen's lyrical voice has been gorgeously translated into English by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw
This beautifully atmospheric novel, set on a small island off Norway, where weather and the power of the sea shape lives, is a compelling story of one family, generations of which have lived on the island that bears the family name.
A beautiful and rich depiction of place and of family life . . . an outstanding achievement.
