«Den stora skrivboken ; Beviset ; Den tredje lögnen» is Agota Kristof's trilogy in Månpocket paperback, 431 pages, in Swedish.
Twin brothers, during a nameless war, go to live with their grandmother, whom the neighbors call the Witch, while their mother cannot keep them in the city and their father is at the front. The boys record their survival in a notebook with relentless logic. The trilogy explores childhood, cruelty and the search for truth in a dry, crystalline style.
Known as The Notebook Trilogy, the work was originally published in French (Le Grand Cahier, La Preuve, Le Troisième Mensonge); this 2020 Swedish edition is translated by Marianne Tufvesson.
