1st Printing. Signed. 500 pages. Published in 2024. The third volume - thematically, not explicitly stated as such - of the author's new multi-novel sequence. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a regular first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Karl Ove Knausgaard's "Det tredje riket" in a felicitous English translation. "The characters are as vivid and as convincing as Knausgaard's autobiographical persona. You can't stop reading" (Lev Grossman). "One of the most genuinely suspenseful, alluring books I've ever read. Novel by novel, Knausgaard is replenishing some feral charge to the world" (The Washington Post). An absolute "must-have" title for Karl Ove Knausgaard collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Karl Ove Knausgaard. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Knausgaard's signature on this copy is stunning, the best we have ever seen after all these years of collecting copies signed by him. As such, this is the only signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Extreme demand and time constraint have made Knausgaard resort to an Ondaatje-like swirl of a signature. Copies signed in this drastically abbreviated way have no collectible value. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1787304183.

About this title

Synopsis

If no one ever died, what would happen then?

For several days, a bright new star in the sky above Norway has blazed over the restless lives of those below. Tove, an artist, is consumed by intense creativity as she spirals towards psychosis. Line falls in love with a musician named Valdemar and is lured to a secret death metal gig in a remote forest. Geir, a policeman, is investigating a ritual murder but chances upon something more horrifying even than the bodies in the trees – the last bodies he sees, because, as undertaker Syvert is the first to realise, people have stopped dying since the star appeared.

What is haunting the world – and why?

As profound as it is thrilling, Karl Ove Knausgaard’s The Third Realm is a breathtaking novel about ordinary lives on the cusp of irrevocable change.
