To the attention of everyone who knows a lot about Scandinavian literature and especially in the Swedish: finally in Russian, Fredrick Bakman’s long-awaited novel “The Second Life of Uwe” came out! The Swedes export mainly three categories of texts to the world market: detectives (from the luminaries - May Schöval with pen Valeu and Hennig Mankelly - to Lisa Marklund and Lars Kepler), psychological prose (from Strindberg and Lagerquist to Maygull Akselson and Karin Alwetegen), and finally,, finally , humorous prose. In the Russian market, this last genre is represented the poorest (with the raid is remembered only by the Presmanny Junas Unasss "Hundred Years and the Sund of Money to Assistribution"), and it is a pity: Swedish humor is a separate phenomenon that combines minimalism and equanimity with absurdity, or even Chernukha.
The new novel is designed to fill this empty and such a literary niche we need today.
Who is he, Fredrick Bakman?
The author was born in 1981 in the city of Helsingborg in the south of Sweden, studied the history of religion at the university, but threw, becoming instead of a religious scholar as a triber driver. At the same time, he began to write for local newspapers and conduct blogs on their sites. And then, in 2012, I released the novel - "Second Life Use" - and woke up famous. The book was appreciated by readers, publishers of other countries (it has already been translated into a dozen languages), playwrights (the premiere of the play on the book took place at the end of 2015 - and still stands behind the tickets) - and, finally, filmmakers (in Sweden, the adaptation of Hannes Holma became the adaptation of Hannes Holm a blockbuster, and in the near future the film will be seen by the Russians)
The author continues literary work, raises his son, writes feuilletons and posts - but, if, at any time, on his own assurances, he is ready to return for a truck.
"The second life of Uve"
Where do boods and squabbles come from?
Fredrick Bakman: "This is a story of a rather squabble 59-year-old man of those who go to the" saaba "and always cling to the neighbors, it should be thrown the trash in the wrong container or drive into the village by car, although on the plate Swedish It is written in white that it is strictly forbidden. "
But with absurd old people are not born. Just a tender, loving heart from loneliness is covered with a hard crust, and accuracy, thoroughness and hand -to -handedness turn into a picky, frivolous generation for unnecessary. Inside, resentment of the world ripens, life becomes a burden, the hand reaches for a rope with a loop - but life is unpredictable. She breaks all plans, including this kind. And at the most inappropriate, it would seem, moment, all the talents of Uve were in demand, and this began! ..
Fredrick Bakman: "This is a funny book, of those that help to pass the time at the bus stop or at the airport. But I hope that I managed to tell in it something else - both about Uwe and to myself. Something about the generation of my dad-and something about mine. About the cars we drive, about the women we fall in love, about the computers that we run out of us, and about the things we are afraid of. ”
World phenomenon: the book about the angry grumbler Uve at first beat all the records of sales in the Scandinavian countries, then won the hearts of European readers, and now he has rapidly conquering America - for almost half a year it has not been leaving the first ten bestsellers "New York Times". The rights to its publication were sold to 31 countries of the world. The Swedish film adaptation of the book has become one of the most successful films in the country over the past half a century, the theatrical production in Stockholm is also very popular.
