Tarjei Vesaas 2 Books Collection Set (Peter Owen Modern Classics) - Fiction - Paperback

Spring Night
Sixteen-year-old Sissel and her young brother Olaf have been left minding their parents' farm for the night. When a strange family descends on them, lost, in a broken-down car, the children have to cope alone. By the end of this spring night there will have been a birth and a death in the house, and adolescence will have vanished forever.

Boat in the Evening
The critical acclaim which greeted The Boat in the Evening confirmed Tarjei Vesaas's place among the finalists for the Nobel Prize for Literature for the third time. A series of semi-autobiographical sketches, The Boat in the Evening evokes intensely poetic scenes with cinematic beauty: a colony of cranes arrive at their mating ground to play out a delicate ritual drama; a boy and his father clear a road together in a pitiless snowstorm; a drowning man floats down river towards rescue.

Vesaas felt the book, which has drawn favourable comparisons with Wordsworth and T.S. Eliot, to be the culmination of his life's experience. And, indeed, this profound and beautiful novel, with its sensuous appreciation of nature, was to be his last published work.
