It's a normal night in August. Literature professor Arne and artist Tove are with their children at the resort in Sørlandet. Their friend, Egil, a driver by day, is staying in a cabin nearby. Kathrine, a priest, is on her way home from a seminar; the journalist Jostein is out on the town; and his wife, Turid, who is an assistant nurse, has a night shift. Above them all, a huge star suddenly appears in the sky. No one, not even the astronomers, knows for sure what kind of phenomenon it is.

My Struggle introduces American listeners to the audacious, addictive, and profoundly surprising international literary sensation that is the provocative and brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel by Karl Ove Knausgaard. It has already been anointed a Proustian masterpiece and is the rare work of dazzling literary originality that is intense and irresistible to hear. Unafraid of the big issues - death, love, art, fear - and yet committed to the intimate details of life as it is lived, My Struggle is an essential work of contemporary literature.

As a 19-year-old, Karl Ove moves to Bergen and invests all of himself in his writing. But his efforts get the opposite effect - he wants it so much that he gets writer's block. At the same time, he sees his friends, one-by-one, publish their debuts. He suspects that he will never get anything published.

Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about his childhood and teenage years, his infatuation with rock music, his relationship with his loving yet almost invisible mother and his distant and unpredictable father and his bewilderment and grief on his father’s death. When Karl Ove becomes a father himself, he must balance the demands of caring for a young family with his determination to write great literature. Knausgaard has created a universal story of the struggles, great and small, that we all face in our lives.

Beginning in the Garden of Eden and soaring through to the present, A Time for Everything reimagines pivotal encounters between humans and angels: the glow of the cherubim watching over Eden; the profound love between Cain and Abel despite their differences; Lot's shame in Sodom; Noah's isolation before the flood; Ezekiel tied to his bed, prophesying ferociously; the death of Christ; and the emergence of sensual, mischievous cherubs in the 17th century.

Childhood is exhilarating and terrifying. For the young Karl Ove, new houses, classes and friends are met with manic excitement and creeping dread. Adults occupy godlike positions of power, benevolent in the case of his doting mother, tyrannical in the case of his cruel father. Knausgaard describes a time in which victories and defeats are felt keenly and every attempt at self-definition is frustrating. This is an audiobook about family, memory and how we never become quite what we set out to be.

My Struggle: Book One introduces American listeners to the audacious, addictive, and profoundly surprising international literary sensation that is the provocative and brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel by Karl Ove Knausgaard.

The second volume in his autobiographical quartet based on the seasons, Winter is an achingly beautiful collection of daily meditations and letters addressed directly to Knaugsaard's unborn daughter.

This book is about fresh starts, about love, about friendship. It is also about the earth-shattering experience of becoming a father, the mundane struggles of family life, ridiculously unsuccessful holidays, the emotional strains of children's birthday parties and pushing a pram around Stockholm when all you really want to do is write. This is a book about one man's life but, somehow, about everyone else's, too.

Eighteen years old and fresh out of high school, Karl Ove Knausgaard moves to a tiny fisherman's village far north of the polar circle to work as a schoolteacher. He has no interest in the job itself - or in any other job for that matter. His intention is to save up enough money to travel while finding the space and time to start his writing career.

Spring is a deeply moving novel about family, our everyday lives, our joys and our struggles. Spring follows a father and his newborn daughter through one day in April, from sunrise to sunset. A day filled with everyday routine, the beginnings of life and its light, but also its deep struggles and its darkness.

Eine winzige Insel vor der norwegischen Küste: Kristian Hadeland, erfolgreicher Künstler mit einer Karriere in London und einer bevorstehenden Retrospektive am MoMa in New York, hat sich in die Abgeschiedenheit zurückgezogen. Er will seinem Leben ein Ende setzen. "Tod und Vergänglichkeit", das war das große Thema seines fotografischen Werks, mit dem er sich über sämtliche Regeln hinwegsetzte und in der Kunstwelt für Furore sorgte. Für diesen Ruhm ist er einen faustischen Bund eingegangen.

Autumn begins with a letter Karl Ove Knausgaard writes to his unborn daughter, showing her what to expect of the world. He writes one short piece per day, describing the material and natural world with the precision and mesmerising intensity that have become his trademark. With acute sensitivity he describes daily life with his wife and children in rural Sweden, drawing upon memories of his own childhood to give an inimitably tender perspective on the precious and unique bond between parent and child. Nothing is too small or too vast to escape his attention; this is a personal encyclopaedia on everything from chewing gum to the stars.

Teil 3 der fulminanten Morgenstern- Reihe vom literarischen Weltstar und SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor Karl Ove Knausgård. Die neunzehnjährige Line verliebt sich in Valdemar, den Frontmann der sagenumwobenen Band Das Urteil, und wird in eine geheime, faszinierende und beängstigende Welt hineingezogen. Der Polizist Geir ermittelt in einem makabren Dreifachmord, aber über die Theorie, die er am Ende aufstellt, kann er mit niemandem sprechen.

Das eigene Leben offen, schonungslos und radikal zum Gegenstand des Schreibens zu machen - dies ist das Konzept, zu dem sich Karl Ove Knausgård in einem furiosen Mammutprojekt entschlossen hat. Radikal ehrlich und mit unglaublicher sprachlicher Kraft nähert er sich in "Sterben", dem ersten Roman einer sechsbändigen Serie, seinem schwierigen Verhältnis zum Vater, das ihn grundlegend geprägt hat.

Es ist Sommer in Norwegen. Eigentlich eine beschauliche Zeit. Doch nun scheint etwas aus den Fugen geraten zu sein. Krabben spazieren an Land, Ratten tauchen an überraschenden Stellen auf: Die Tiere verhalten sich wider ihre Natur. Neun Menschen erzählen in diesen Sommertagen ihr Leben. Da ist zum Beispiel der Literaturprofessor Arne, der mit seiner Familie die Tage im Sommerhaus verbringt, an sich selbst zweifelt und mit seinem Nachbarn Egil über den Glauben an Gott diskutiert. Oder der Journalist Jostein, der auf einer exzessiven Trinktour von den mysteriösen Morden an Mitgliedern einer Death Metal Band hört.

Woher das Leben kommt und was es eigentlich ist: Um diese beiden Fragen kreist der neue Roman von Karl Ove Knausgård – der, wenn man so will, eine Art Prequel zum international bejubelten "Der Morgenstern" darstellt. Was ist geschehen, bevor dieser unerklärliche, weithin sichtbare unbekannte Stern am Himmel auftauchte und scheinbar sämtliche physikalische Regeln außer Kraft setzte? "Die Wölfe aus dem Wald der Ewigkeit" beginnt im Jahr 1986. In Norwegen gibt es eine Regierungskrise, und im fernen Tschernobyl ist ein Atomreaktor explodiert.
