Description In Pursuance Of Books Doppler (Doppler #1)
Otec dvoch detí jedného dňa spadne v lese z bicykla a zrazu zacíti pokoj a harmóniu. Už ho neotravujú nekonečné detské pesničky zo synových rozprávok, myšlienky na novú kúpeľňu a výber správnej záchodovej misy. O to viac si však uvedomí smrť svojho otca. Rozhodne sa odsťahovať do lesa, kúsok od Oslo. Postaví si stan, zabije losiu samicu a jej mláďa prijme ako svojho adoptívneho syna. Snaží sa žiť život lovca a zberača, kým nepochopí, že je závislý na pravidelnom prísune nízkotučného mlieka a čokolády Toblerone. To ho prinúti opäť nadviazať kontakt s ľuďmi. Jeden z najprekladanejších nórskych autorov sa stal populárnym vďaka humorným a niekedy naivným románom, hoci sa v jeho príbehoch časom objavili aj temnejšie tóny a príklon k satirickej kritike nórskej spoločnosti. Pracoval na psychiatrickej klinike a v novinách, je autorom kníh pre deti aj pre dospelých. Tieto svety sa v jeho knihách prelínajú, problém dospieť majú najmä mužské postavy.Rating Regarding Books Doppler (Doppler #1)

I absolutely loved Loe's book Naïve. Super, which will definitely make my 'best of' list this year, so was excited to venture into his back catalog. Imagine my dismay when the first few pages depict the killing of an elk (... as my longtime GR friends know, I abhor any violence towards animals). That scene is ALMOST mitigated by the fact it IS necessary plot wise (the meat provides the titular character with the means to exist in the forest via the barter system), and by the fact Doppler alsoSo if a man decides to leave his family and move out in the forest, I immediately assume that theres something wrong with him? What does that say about me? Yes, I know he just lost his father and then fell on his bike and hit his head, but still, when reading a book which is a critique of our modern consumer culture, it feels strange to realize that I buy so completely into that culture that I cant even see it as a valuable life choice. And yes, I wrote buy into deliberately.Doppler leaves his
The anti-hero of the novel is Andreas Doppler, a middle-class husband and father of two children, who lives an uneventful, normal middle-class life. Then one day, after a bicycle accident he decides to suspend his regular life for a while and move to the forest surrounding Oslo, in order to stop being a smart-ass, to avoid communication with people and to bring the art of idleness to perfection. However, his solitude is not unperturbed: Doppler finds himself in the company of the young moose,
Kind of sad in a really funny way.
There are two creatures in the wildlife that I really am happy to know to exist. Owls and elks. These two species somehow prove to me the superiority of nature over mankind, both of them seem both wiser and more humorous to me than any of humanity. As a side note, I also enjoy the existence of penguins and giraffes, but unfortunately don't live in the latitudes where either could be spotted. We still got elks and owls though, and I'm happy with those.Doppler, to put it short, is about this exact
(3.5) Humorous, satirical, quirky, imaginative, and cynical. It took me a while to get through it even though it's a short read, I needed to read it in little doses.
