It all started in Malmö, on the night of February 27, 2008, when thirty-nine-year-old Karl Ove Knausgård began analyzing his life. After the publication of the first volume of My Struggle, the reading world held its breath. The autobiographical book - describing intimate family life and loved ones - aroused so much interest and caused such a scandal that many Norwegian companies posted official signs prohibiting talking about this novel at work. The rights to publish My Struggle were purchased by nineteen countries, and world criticism recognized it as a masterpiece.

The novel opens with a description of death that can make you dizzy. Further, the writer Karl Ove - and at the same time the hero of the novel - tells about his wrestling with life, with himself and his own literary ambitions, and about the confrontation with the people around him. The hero of his story is constantly fighting two battles. The first - with the past, a period almost entirely dominated by a despotic father, but also a time of growing up, one's own searches and dreams of an independent life. The second is a constant struggle with everyday life, requiring being a father, husband and writer at the same time. In addition, it is a stage of the first summaries and life orders, closely related to the death of the father.

This story - full of insightful observations and original thoughts - presents life in a world that seems complete, finished, closed. It shows everyday life, fascinations, pain, love, friendship. It touches on what is good, sensitive and unpleasant. In a mysterious way, it builds a space in which you can immerse yourself. Get ready for a literary journey that will touch your deepest emotions and make you reflect on your own life. My Struggle is a book that stays in your memory long after you finish reading it.
