The End of the World as We Know It

“Time sweeps away everything.”

Doppler, the hero of Norwegian writer Erlend Loe, whose works are read in more than twenty languages, has become an unforgettable modern-day figure, and returns home. The End of the World as We Know It, which is the sequel to the Doppler novel, extends from the depths of the forest to the depths of the system: Is it possible to remain free in a world where those who cannot stay in the circle are expelled from all games?

Remembering that he has a family after the adventurous months he spent deep in the forest, Doppler leaves his deer Bongo at the horned animal sanctuary and heads to Oslo. He is very excited to be reunited with his wife and children, who he believes miss him to death, but there is a small problem: The name "Egil Hegel" is written on his all-year-old mailbox, not "Andreas Doppler"! He thought he had hit the bottom, but he had not seen what humiliation was yet.

He felt lighter and free. It's truly free. He had no debt, no job, no obligations. There was only himself. For better or worse. And a beautiful deer. He untied Bongo, which he had tied to the tax office's bike park, and stood looking up at the upper floors.

He assumed that meetings were held everywhere; These meetings, as a result of both research and experience, were not only inappropriate but also directly undermined efficiency.

A smile spread across his face as he climbed onto Bongo. He was now giving up on this life.
