Lo-Johansson som ung ville vidga sina vyer och insupa nya intryck. Detta gjorde han genom att cykla norrut genom landet och försörja sig genom gårdfarihandel. Beskrivningarna av vad som hände honom gränsar till fantastiska, språket är stundom gammalmodigt och lite omständligt. Visst finns det delar av historien som är väldigt fängslande och fascinerande, men andra delar är inte alls lika intressanta, och kan upplevas som långa och malande. Kan inte vara ett av Ivar Los bästa verk (?). ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Ivar Lo-Johansson (1901-1990), a leading literary figure in Sweden, was the last surviving member of the so-called 'thirties generation', largely self-educated writers from impoverished backgrounds, who wrote about their roots. In the 1950s he began a series of autobiographical novels examining the experiences of his youthful alter-ego; while his tone is ironical, he does not diminish the reader's sympathy for the hardships the protagonist undergoes. Gärdfarihandlaren (Peddling My Wares), the second of these works, draws on Lo-Johansson's own life when, aged nineteen, he spent a summer cycling through Sweden trying to peddle small goods; his protagonist is fleeing the horizons of his poverty-stricken childhood while trying to come to terms with his own identity. Through a series of adventures, some comical, some disturbing, the hero gradually learns that a romantic dream of total freedom is both impossible and foolish. This novel has enjoyed wide critical and popular acclaim, and has been reissued in Swedish many times since its first appearance in 1953; first English translation.
