El Premio Nobel de Literatura 2023 narra en este maravilloso libro la emocionante y triste historia de Lars Hertervig, un pintor noruego del siglo XIX.

The Other Name follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an aging painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbor, Åsleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin, a couple hours drive south of Dylgja, where he lives. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers—two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life.

This is Jon Fosse’s critically acclaimed, luminous love story about Asle and Alida, two lovers trying to find their place in this world. Homeless and sleepless, they wander around Bergen in the rain, trying to make a life for themselves and the child they expect. Through a rich web of historical, cultural, and theological allusions, Fosse constructs a modern parable of injustice, resistance, crime, and redemption.

A child who will be named Johannes is born. An old man named Johannes dies. Between these two points, Jon Fosse gives us the details of an entire life, starkly compressed. Beginning with Johannes's father's thoughts as his wife goes into labor and ending with Johannes's own thoughts as he embarks upon a day in his life when everything is exactly the same yet totally different, Morning and Evening is a novel concerning the beautiful dream that our lives have meaning.

I is Another follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an aging painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbor, Åsleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin, a couple hours' drive south of Dylgja, where he lives.

Asle is an aging painter and widower who lives alone on the west coast of Norway. His only friends are his neighbor, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgängers—two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life. Written in melodious and hypnotic "slow prose," A New Name is the final installment of Jon Fosse's Septology.

Jatgeir has come from Vaim to the big city, Bjørgvin, on his wooden boat, Eline, named after the long-lost love of his teenage years. He intends to buy a needle and thread to sew a button but he is cheated, twice. That night, while sleeping on his boat, he hears a familiar voice: unexpectedly, it is Eline, who wants to come home to Vaim with him. She leaves a note for her husband Frank, packs her bags and runs away while he is out fishing.

One of Jon Fosse’s most acclaimed novels, Boathouse is told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator leading a largely hermit-like existence until he unexpectedly encounters a long-lost childhood friend and his wife. Told partially in a stream-of-consciousness style and with an atmosphere reminiscent of a gripping crime novel, Boathouse slowly unravels the story of a love triangle leading to jealousy, betrayal, and eventually death.

Jatgeir travels from the fishing village of Vaim to the city in search of a needle and thread. Cheated twice, he returns to his boat, where he falls asleep as waves rock the hull. Soon he is awakened by a voice: a woman is calling his name from the quay. There stands Eline, the secret love of his youth—and the namesake of his boat—with a packed suitcase. Eline pleads to come aboard. In what follows, this single encounter reverberates across three stories: three narrators, three deaths.

Fosse was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature. His Septology sequence was a finalist for the National Book Award and the International Booker Prize. This slim volume would be an ideal entry point for new audiences of Fosse and an eagerly anticipated work for Fosse fans.

In her old house by the fjord, Signe lies on a bench and sees a vision of herself as she was more than twenty years earlier: standing by the window waiting for her husband Asle, on that terrible late November day when he took his rowboat out onto the water and never returned. Her memories widen out to include their whole life together, and beyond: the bonds of family and the battles with implacable nature stretching back over five generations, to Asle's great-great-grandmother Aliss.

Ein Mann steigt in sein Boot, um über den Fjord in die Großstadt zu fahren. Als er von den Kaufleuten betrogen wird, macht er sich angewidert von den Großstädtern auf den Rückweg und entscheidet spontan, auf einer Insel haltzumachen. Dort trifft er Eline wieder, seine Jugendliebe, nach der das Boot benannt ist. Eline hat gerade ihren Mann verlassen.

Un hombre conduce sin un rumbo en mente, hasta que su coche queda atascado al final de una pista forestal. Es una tarde de finales de otoño, ya casi no hay luz y comienza a nevar. En lugar de volver caminando hacia atrás en busca de ayuda o quedarse en el coche, de forma imprudente y sin saber muy bien por qué, el hombre decide adentrarse en el bosque. Inevitablemente, se pierde, y la noche sigue avanzando. Cuando el agotamiento y el frío empiezan a vencerlo, vislumbra un extraño resplandor en medio de la oscuridad.

Mañana y tarde es una novela breve e inolvidable, sobre el nacimiento y la muerte, escrita por uno los grandes narradores y dramaturgos europeos de las últimas décadas.

Entre estos dos puntos, Jon Fosse nos da los detalles de toda una vida, condensados con gran belleza.

La colección Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opinión, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son más un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversación más que saciarla e inician un festín (que no clausuran). Como los mejores bocados, entran por los ojos y dejan un largo poso en el paladar.

A bordo de su barco Eline, Jatgeir llega a Bjørgvin desde Vaim, la pequeña ciudad donde vive. Necesita comprar hilo y aguja para coser un botón, pero en las tiendas le piden un precio exorbitante y es doblemente estafado. Antes de volver a casa con las manos vacías, fondea en una aldea de pescadores para dormir en su barco, pero una voz familiar lo despierta en medio de la noche: es Eline, su gran amor de juventud, que ha dejado a su marido, Frank, y quiere regresar a Vaim con él.

Escenas de una infancia reúne, por primera vez en lengua española, una selección de la mejor prosa breve del Premio Nobel de Literatura. De los relatos aquí contenidos, algunos se adentran libremente en el terreno de lo autobiográfico, como las extraordinarias estampas de «Escenas de una infancia» o «El pelo de Line»: evocan primeras veces, amistades, pérdidas, el descubrimiento del deseo, instantes de felicidad y fracasos más o menos estrepitosos.

In Morgen und Abend erzählt Jon Fosse von einem großen Thema, dem Tod. Die Geschichte, in deren Mittelpunkt ein einfacher norwegischer Fischer steht, dessen Leben hart und erfüllt war, öffnet den Blick auf das, wovon heute kaum noch jemand spricht. Eine kunstvoll rhythmisierte, ganz schlichte Erzählung des Nobelpreisträgers, die bezaubert und berührt.

Ein Meisterwerk von Jon Fosse. In einem Haus an einem Fjord liegt Signe, eine alte Frau, auf einer Bank und sieht sich selbst als junge Frau durch die Räume gehen.

In dem alten Haus, das erfüllt ist von den Stimmen seiner ehemaligen Bewohner, traumwandelt Signe durch die Vergangenheit und begegnet den vorangegangenen Generationen der Familie.
