{"product_id":"tarjei-vessas-the-boat-in-the-evening-9780720611984","title":"The Boat in the Evening","description":"Earning its author a third nomination for the Nobel Prize, this tale centers on a crane colony arriving at its breeding ground to play out a delicate drama, ending with the rarely observed ceremony of the ritual dance. All is observed by a transfixed child who has frozen into his background and become a piece of nature himself. With a kind of cinematic impressionism, this novel voyages back to episodes from childhood, adolescence, and maturity as well as conducts speculative forays into the unknown. Unfolding in a series of delicate sketches that record the changing moods of human experience, this story is at once pervaded by a sense of melancholy and a sensuous appreciation of nature. A profound and beautiful book, it is the summation of a literary artist's first-hand experience and observation of rural life--of landscape and people.","brand":"Peter Owen Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53914619773270,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/tarjei-vessas-the-boat-in-the-evening-9780720611984","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
