Lasso Round The Moon is a novel by Agnar Mykle, originally published in Norwegian as Lasso om Maanen in 1954. The story follows the protagonist Asle, a young man living in a small village in northern Norway, as he navigates his way through life and love in the years leading up to World War II.Asle is a dreamer, constantly lost in his own thoughts and fantasies. He is deeply in love with his childhood friend, Mari, but she is engaged to another man. Asle struggles to come to terms with his unrequited love and finds solace in his friendship with Mari's brother, Simon, who is a talented musician.The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the search for identity. Asle is torn between his desire to fit in with the rest of the village and his own unique perspective on the world. He is often misunderstood and ostracized by his peers, but he remains true to himself and his beliefs.Lasso Round The Moon is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of rural Norwegians in the early 20th century. Mykle's prose is poetic and lyrical, capturing the beauty and harshness of the Norwegian landscape and the complexities of human emotion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
