Tales Of Protection by Erik Fosnes Hansen
His reveries lead him to tell two other tales - one of a doomed lighthouse keeper on a Swedish island and another of rivalry among Renaissance artists - until, finally, he tells a startling tale from his own early manhood.
"A breathtaking journey from a nineteenth-century lighthouse community in the Swedish Baltic, besieged by shipwreck and sickness, to a group of scheming artists in Renaissance Rome..Superbly intricate plots" * Guardian *
"His prose is both clear and poetic, and Nadia Christiensen's does full justice to his style, leaving the reader pondering on nothing less than the nature of existence itself" * Kirkus Reviews *
"For readers of Michael Ondaatje and Isak Dinesen, Erik Fosnes Hansen's imaginative narration brings an original and searching inquiry into why things happen the way they do and suggests a theory of 'seriality' -a half-science about the power of human connections" * www.goodreads.com *
