The future is no more, and eternity has begun.
'Enormously compelling' The Times
'Knausgaard is among the finest writers alive' New York Times
It is 1986 and Syvert Loyning has returned from military service to his mother's home in southern Norway. One night, he dreams of his late father, and the next morning can't shake him from his mind. Searching through his father's belongings for clues and connections, Syvert finds a cache of letters that leads to the Soviet Union, and to a half-sister, Alevtina, he didn't know he had.
Several decades later, in present-day Russia, he will meet her - just as a mysterious new star appears in the sky...
From internationally bestselling author Karl Ove Knausgaard, The Wolves of Eternity is the new book in a visionary series that begins with The Morning Star. Expansive, searching and deeply human, it questions the responsibilities we have toward one another and ourselves - and the limits of what we can understand about life itself.
'So engrossing and entertaining that I crammed in its 800 pages like a glutton devouring a box of chocolates... I was mesmerised throughout this book. The translation is also excellent. More, please' Spectator
'Captivating' Financial Times
The Wolves of Eternity is set in the Morning Star universe
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Knausgaard is among the finest writers alive. * New York Times * [An] enormously compelling book... The range of subjects The Wolves of Eternity explores is fascinating * Sunday Times * Casts an existential spell...captivating... Big themes - the cosmos, death and resurrection - are amplified through ghostly visitations, doppelgaenger lives and the question of what, if anything, lies beyond human existence * Financial Times * Compelling * Telegraph **** * The nature and possibility of immortality is a recurring theme, and digressions abound - communicating trees, broken families, Chernobyl, death, etc. But by sticking close to his characters, Knausgaard addresses those heady topics with an easy-going grace * LA Times * Compulsively readable...Knausgaard remains one of the great chroniclers of the moment-by-moment experience of life * Washington Post * An intelligent, expansive novel * i * Immersive... It is so engrossing and entertaining that I crammed in its 800 pages like a glutton devouring a box of chocolates * Spectator * Knausgaard, master of fiction as an inquiry into the self, now revives fiction as an inquiry into the cosmos, re-enchanting the latter with those beguiling secrets science had stolen from it * Guardian * I read The Morning Star compulsively, and stayed awake all night after finishing it. -- Brandon Taylor
