Erlend Loe - Doppler

Andreas Doppler is a Norwegian family man living an exemplary life: his wife is a wonderful woman, his children are great, his income is stable, his house is nice and big. In other words, perfection takes on almost unbearable dimensions, embedded in a classic, Scandinavian snap. We watch with envy as he shakes off his social shackles and, following the call of nature, moves to the forests above Oslo, carves a totem pole and forms a deep friendship with a kind-hearted moose. Doppler is a novel of a mid-life crisis, the triumph of a little boy rebelling in the depths of a man's soul against the adult world. Doppler is also a novel of civilization criticism, and although it does not say anything new about the infantilism of consumer society, its gentle naivety still prompts us to reconsider the eternal questions banished to the ranks of clichés. In the first volume of the Doppler trilogy, which is deservedly popular among Hungarian readers, Erlend Loe writes about the search for freedom, pushing boundaries and even crossing them, and with his fantastically refined humor he also reveals the contradictions that accompany the path leading to it.and#13;and#10;The absurd humor the protagonist of the cult novel is a successful and smart man of our time, Andreas Doppler, who no longer wants to be a successful and smart man of our time.
