About
Between the day of the birth of the child "Johannes" in a Norwegian fishing village, and the last day of the life of the old fisherman "Johannes", an ordinary life is narrated by "Jon Fosse" with deceptive simplicity, so we experience its small details that remain in the human mind and feelings when everything else is extinguished... even consciousness.
An exceptional novel, it has been translated into more than ten languages and has also been adapted into an opera.
A giant writer is read for the first time in Arabic, in a faithful and distinguished translation that preserves the spirit of the original text.
