内容简介
Winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
In 1948, when he is fifteen, Trond spends a summer in the country with his father. The events — the accidental death of a child, his best friend’s feelings of guilt and eventual disappearance, his father’s decision to leave the family for another woman — will change his life forever. An early morning adventure out stealing horses leaves Trond bruised and puzzled by his friend Jon’s sudden breakdown. The tragedy that lies behind this scene becomes the catalyst for the two boys’ families to gradually fall apart.
As a 67-year-old man, and following the death of his wife, Trond has moved to an isolated part of Norway to live in solitude. But a chance encounter with a character from the fateful summer of 1948 brings the painful memories of that year flooding back, and will leave Trond even more convinced of his decision to end his days alone.
Per Petterson, defeated eight finalists, including Julian Barnes, J.M. Coetzee, Salman Rushdie and Cormac McCarthy to win the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for Out Stealing Horses.

“This stunning novel will tell you more about the Norwegian countryside and psyche than the most enthusiastically well-informed guidebook.”–Sunday Telegraph
“[Petterson] captures the essence of a man’s vast existence with a clean-lined freshness that hits you like a burst of winter air – surprising and breathtaking.”–Daily Express
“. . . a true gem, compact yet radiant.”–Independent on Sunday

作者简介
Per Petterson was born in 1952 and was a librarian and a bookseller before he published his first work, a volume of short stories, in 1987. Since then he has written three novels which have established his reputation as one of Norway’s best fiction writers. To Siberia and In the Wake are published by Harvill in English translation.
佩尔•帕特森，1952年出生于奥斯陆，在挪威早已是极富盛名的重要作家，诺贝尔文学奖候选人之一。曾当过图书馆馆员，做过书商，也写过评论、从事翻译的工作。直到1987年出版第一本短篇小说集，才逐渐崭露头角。自此，帕特森投入全职创作，陆续出版一本散文集和五本小说。
帕特森的小说充满了北欧的冷冽与寂静氛围，他的人物多取材自平凡小人物，主题多围绕在人的孤独，或父子、手足关系与年少友谊离去。他的作品是我们跨入当今北欧阅读世界的大门。
