About this product

Product Information

We were going out stealing horses. That was what he said, standing at the door to the cabin where I was spending the summer with my father. I was fifteen. It was 1948 and oneof the first days of July. Trond's friend Jon often appeared at his doorstep with an adventure in mind for the two of them. But this morning was different. What began as a joy ride on "borrowed" horses ends with Jon falling into a strange trance of grief. Trond soon learns what befell Jon earlier that day--an incident that marks the beginning of a series of vital losses for both boys. Set in the easternmost region of Norway, Out Stealing Horses begins with an ending. Sixty-seven-year-old Trond has settled into a rustic cabin in an isolated area to live the rest of his life with a quiet deliberation. A meeting with his only neighbor, however, forces him to reflect on that fateful summer.

From the first terse sentences of this mesmerizing Norwegian novel about youth, memory, and, yes, horse stealing, you know you're in the hands of a master storyteller."--Newsweek "That's the effect of Per Petterson's award-winning novel: It hits you in the heart at close range."--Alan Cheuse, NPR'sAll Things Considered "A masterpiece of tough romance . . . One of my favorite two or three new novels to appear this year."--The New York Sun "Petterson's spare and deliberate prose has astonishing force. . . .

OUT STEALING HORSES BY PER PETTERSON
This book is very well written but I'm sure there is something always lost in translation since the author is Norweigian. It is exactly what the summary of the book is about; an older man looking back and remembering his youger years starting with his being a teenager. The way the author makes the transition between his young and current life is so smoothly done that it takes a paragraph before you, as the reader, realize where he is. There are very interesting parts of his life that he talks about which keeps you wanting to know more. The part that is even more interesting is what the author does not tell in his story. I you are a reader who likes to fill in the gaps with your imagination this is the book for you.

Out stealing horses...in a dreamlike way.
I had seen this book advertised so many times that I decided to give it a try. So glad I did. A wonderful book, beautifully written. Sometimes it's hard to decide whether it is the author or the translator that should be given credit. I'll give it to both.

Out Stealing Horses
I was very satisfied with the condition of the book I ordered and felt it was accurately described prior to purchasing. The Norwegian author, Per Petterson, was recommended by a friend because of his particular style of story telling. He leaves room for your imagination and conclusions.

Out Stealing Horses
This is a very evocative book set in Norway. It transports you to another time, another place, and is mesmerizing. I bought it because my book group is reading it, and am happy about that.
