PRAISE FOR TALES OF PROTECTION "As readers, we relax into the author's skillful hands, allowing his luminous writing to carry us, and the tale, along. . . .

Synopsis
An eccentric scientist lies dead in his coffin reflecting on the past and his last experiment--collecting random incidents from human history and finding the underlying pattern that connects them. His reveries lead him to tell two other tales--one of a doomed lighthouse keeper on a Swedish island and the other of a rivalry among Renaissance artists--and finally he tells a startling tale from his own youth. For readers of Michael Ondaatje and Isak Dinesen, Erik Fosnes Hansen's imaginative narration brings an original and searching inquiry into why things happen the way they do and suggests a theory of "seriality"--a half-science about the power of human connections., As a man lies reflecting on the past and his last experiment, collecting incidents from human history to find the underlying pattern that connects them, his reveries lead him to other tales: one of a lighthouse keeper on a lonely island, another of a rivalry among Renaissance artists, and finally, a startling story from his own life. Ingeniously stitched together, these tales form one of the most powerful narratives in recent memory. A feat of storytelling, this is a novel about the power of human connections and an original and searching peek into the nature of luck, chance, and why things happen the way they do, from an author Time has called "a virtuoso."

    Ordered these shorts for my son and he was so excited to receive them. Packaging was fine and no damage at all. Shipping was as he stated so we were expecting it when we got it. The shorts are just what the pictures described. My son absolutely loves this and for the cost… he will be getting more. Would buy again from seller
