The Forest of Hours Tapa blanda - 1998

London: Chatto & Windus, 1998. Boards in dust jacket. Light shelfwear. Very good. 488pp. Glossary, notes. Translated by Anna Paterson. This novel begins in the Middle Ages when Skord, a magical being who is neither man nor animal, finds himself in a forest with no memory, no past and no language. As he observes the behaviour of the human beings he meets in the forest, he begins to gradually understand human civilization and learn their language. Although he can pose as one of them, he is also able to assume the form of animals and cause things to happen simply by willing them. Skord survives for five hundred years and lives many different lives but, despite his learning, he finds it difficult to resist the call of the forest and returns there periodically to rejoin the band of forest outlaws who live outside human society.

Maryland 1998. In this book, the Skule Forest of Northern Sweden is transformed into a deeply atmospheric, timeless woodland, as the backdrop to a spirited narrative which spans 500 years of history and, through the adventures of its mischievous hero Skord, explores the ways in which humans have tried to tame and order the world around them. An intricate web of interlocking stories, a heady mix of myth, fairytale and history, wit and seriousness, this is an enthralling story of a creature who knows that part of him belongs with the trolls and the giants, but also hungers after human knowledge., English, Year1998, Illust.
