{"product_id":"my-struggle-book-2","title":"My Struggle: Book 2","description":"'[Book 2] sears the reader because Knausgaard is a passionate idealist [who] wants to fight the conformity and homogeneity of modern bourgeois existence.' -James Wood, The New Yorker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the second installment of Karl Ove Knausgaard's monumental six-volume masterpiece, the character Karl Ove Knausgaard moves to Stockholm, where, having left his wife, he leads a solitary existence. He strikes up a deep friendship with another exiled Norwegian, a Nietzschean intellectual and boxing fanatic named Geir. He also tracks down Linda, whom he met at a writers' workshop a few years earlier and who fascinated him deeply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Struggle: Book 2 is at heart a love story-the story of Karl Ove falling in love with his second wife. But the novel also tells other stories: of becoming a father, of the turbulence of family life, of outrageously unsuccessful attempts at a family vacation, of the emotional strain of birthday parties for children, and of the daily frustrations, rhythms, and distractions of city life keeping him from (and filling) his novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a brilliant work that emphatically delivers on the unlikely promise that many hundreds of pages later readers will be left breathlessly demanding more.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54425828524370,"sku":"9780374534158","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_7e5d89a3-4ce6-415d-8bab-2a4cfdc0f5fd.jpg?v=1787922627","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/my-struggle-book-2","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
