«Sortir a robar cavalls» is the contemporary novel by Per Petterson, published by Club Editor in paperback (256 pages, in Catalan).
Trond T., now elderly, retires to a cabin in eastern Norway; life in the forest and the company of a neighbor stir memories of a childhood summer with his father and an enigmatic farming family. In those memories, the games of two boys reflect the secrets and conflicts of the adults in postwar Norway.
Translated from the Norwegian by Carolina Moreno, the work is part of the El Club dels Novel·listes collection, number 62. The original, «Ut og stjæle hester», from 2003, won the 2007 IMPAC Dublin Award.
A novel suitable for book clubs and for readers of contemporary Norwegian fiction.
