Tarjei Vessas Libri

    Tarjei Vesaas, poeta e romanziere norvegese, scrisse nella lingua nynorsk. La sua prosa si distingue per semplicità, concisione e profondità simbolica. Vesaas esplora frequentemente personaggi rurali che vivono profondi drammi psicologici, descrivendoli con un'immensa perspicacia secondo i critici. Le sue opere affrontano comunemente temi come la morte, la colpa e l'angoscia, con il paesaggio naturale norvegese come sfondo predominante. La sua maestria nel nynorsk ha contribuito alla sua accettazione come veicolo per la letteratura di livello mondiale.

      Tarjei Vessas's The Bridges describes the changing relationships between three adolescents - an unmarried mother who has drowned her newborn child and the girl and boy who befriend her. Their individual reactions to the tragedy and their efforts to communicate with each other form the central theme of the narrative. As strange, unsettling - and memorable - as The Ice Palace, this remarkable novel carries with all the compassion, human insight and lyrical power of a great Vessas novel.

      From the author of The Ice Palace, winner of Bookslut's Daphne Award for fiction, comes a new addition to the Peter Owen Modern Classics series The themes of 1940's The Seed are violence and guilt. A maniac visiting an island murders a girl. He is pursued by the islanders and killed by the victim's brother. Too late, the avengers become aware of their own guilt, with its attendant mutual mistrust, and they attempt to expiate their crime. Vesaas's graphic evocation of nature and his parallel between the violence of savage animals and humanity make this a book of unusual literary distinction.
