Description: A signed (to a loose official publisher bookplate) 1st printing PBO of this 2022 1st UK edition short novel from multi-award winning Norwegian author, poet and playwright Jon Fosse, which was originally published in 2004 in Norway as 'Det er Ales '. The author has twice featured on the Booker International Prize lists for his 'Septology' series. ** After years of being mentioned as a strong candidate, on 5 October 2023, Mr Fosse was named as the Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize for Literature. He is the 4th Norwegian to have won the prize but the first for almost a century, since Sigrid Undset won in 1928. ** 'Aliss At The Fire ', published on 2 November 2022 by Fitzcarraldo Editions, London, 1st edition / 1st printing, medium modern paperback original, 78 pages + copyright page at rear. Translated from the Norwegian by Damion Searls. Hand signed by Jon Fosse to a loose official publisher bookplate. Internally in As New unread condition, paperback original in the usual blue french flaps with white lettering that is standard for 1st printings of all fiction titles released by this publisher. Externally fine, very minor rubbing to edges and corners. ** Any signed 1st printings of Mr Fosse's works are very uncommon and are almost always to a publisher bookplate - they are now, of course, highly collectable since his prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature win. It is incredibly rare to find an example signed by him to, say, the title page ** In her old house by the fjord, Signe lies on a bench and sees a vision of herself as she was more than twenty years earlier: standing by the window waiting for her husband Asle, on that terrible late November day when he took his rowboat out onto the water and never returned. Her memories widen out to include their whole life together, and beyond: the bonds of family and the battles with implacable nature stretching back over five generations, to Asle's great-great-grandmother Aliss. In Jon Fosse's vivid, hallucinatory prose, all these moments in time inhabit the same space, and the ghosts of the past collide with those who still live on. Aliss at the Fire, is a visionary masterpiece, a haunting exploration of love and loss that ranks among the greatest meditations on marriage and human fate.
