Things My Son Needs to Know About the World

Fri, 31 May 2024 17:14:08 +0000

In between the sleep-obsessed lows and oxytocin-fuelled highs, Backman takes a step back to share his own experience of fatherhood and how he navigates such unchartered territory.Part memoir, part manual, part love letter to his son, this book relays the big and the small lessons in life.As he watches his son take his first steps into the world, he teaches him how to navigate both love — and IKEA — and tries to explain why, sometimes, his dad might hold his hand just a little bit too tightly.This is an irresistible and insightful collection from one of the world’s most beautiful storytellers — the bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Beartown.Фредрик Бакман определяет жанр книги «Что мой сын должен знать об устройстве этого мира» как «расширенный блог» — она действительно напоминает онлайн-дневник или серию постов в ЖЖ. Обращаясь к своему маленькому сыну, автор рассуждает о самых разных предметах — от футбола до «Икеи», от компьютерных игр до категорий добра и зла. И попутно делится первым, порой комичным, опытом отцовства — с той уникальной чисто бакмановской смесью иронии и нежности, которая принесла ему любовь миллионов читателей. Это не только разговор на равных с крохотным существом, которому еще предстоит вырасти в личность, но и честный разговор с самим собой, попытка осмыслить свою ответственность за происходящее в мире.Книга на английском языке.
