About the Book

La novela ganadora del Premio de los Libreros de Noruega.

Tras éxito de El libro de la madera (Libro del Año según Cinco días), llega la gran obra de Lars Mytting, estrella de la literatura noruega junto a Knausgård.

«Toda mi vida había oído un silbido procedente del bosque de abedules flameados. Y una noche de 1991, ese silbido creció hasta formar un viento que hizo que me tambaleara.»

En 1971 una pareja muere al pisar una vieja granada en el antiguo campo de batalla del Somme, escenario de uno los episodios más cruentos de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Su hijo de tres años es encontrado cuatro días más tarde a muchos kilómetros de distancia. Edvard crecerá con su abuelo Sverre en una granja noruega ignorando el enigmático suceso hasta que, un día, alguien entrega un ataúd destinado a su abuelo: una espléndida pieza de carpintería tallada en madera de abedul. El muchacho intuye que es obra del hermano de Sverre, de quien se perdió el rastro tiempo atrás, y emprende una búsqueda desesperada del posible vínculo entre este nuevo misterio y la trágica muerte de sus padres.

Una historia épica sobre el amor y la pérdida que recorre las vidas de tres generaciones de una familia. Un apasionante viaje por el pasado de Europa pero también por los árboles y la naturaleza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPCION

By Norway's bestselling novelist and the author of NORWEGIAN WOOD, a family story of epic scale.

Edvard grows up on a remote mountain farmstead in Norway with his taciturn grandfather, Sverre. The death of his parents, when he was three years old, has always been shrouded in mystery - he has never been told how or where it took place and has only a distant memory of his mother.

But he knows that the fate of his grandfather's brother, Einar, is somehow bound up with this mystery. One day a coffin is delivered for his grandfather long before his death - a meticulous, beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Perhaps Einar is not dead after all.

Edvard's desperate quest to unlock the family's tragic secrets takes him on a long journey - from Norway to the Shetlands, and to the battlefields of France - to the discovery of a very unusual inheritance. The Sixteen Trees of the Somme is about the love of wood and finding your own self, a beautifully intricate and moving tale that spans an entire century.
About the Author: Lars Mytting (Fåvang, Noruega, 1968) trabajó como periodista y editor antes de dedicarse por completo a la escritura. En 2006 publicó su primera novela, Hestekrefter, que fue un éxito de ventas en toda Escandinavia, y en 2010 Vårofferet. El libro de la madera. Una vida en los bosques (Alfaguara, 2016, Libro del Año según Cinco Días) vendió más de 300.000 ejemplares solo en Suecia y Noruega, y se convirtió en una serie de televisión de gran audiencia. En el Reino Unido alcanzó los 100.000 ejemplares vendidos y obtuvo el British Industry Award. Los dieciséis árboles del Somme, ganadora del Premio de los Libreros de Noruega, es su última novela, que está siendo traducida en doce países y será llevada a la televisión por la productora de The Imitation Game.
