Note: This translation originally published: 2018 Originally published: 2018 From the creative genius of Jostein Gaarder comes a beautiful novel about loneliness and the power of words. Jakop is a lonely man. Divorced from his wife, with no friends apart from his constant companion Pelle, he spends his life attending the funerals of people he doesn't know, obscuring his identity in a web of improbable lies. As his addiction to storytelling spirals out of control, he is forced to reconcile his love of language and stories with the ever more urgent need for human connection.

Note: This translation originally published: 2015 When 15-year-old Anna begins receiving messages from another time, her parents take her to the doctor. But he can find nothing wrong with her; in fact he believes there may be some truth to what she is seeing. Anna is haunted by visions of the desolate world of 2082. She sees her great-granddaughter in a wasteland peopled by ragged survivors, after animals and plants have died out. The more she sees, the more she realises she must act to prevent the future in her visions becoming real. But can she act quickly enough?
