ETERNITY; MORNING

Karl Ove Knausgaard's latest novel cycle, consisting of The Morning Star, The Wolves of Eternity, and The Third Realm, explores epic ideas and the meaning of modern life and reality. Set in a town in southern Norway, the novels revolve around a mysterious star that appears. Knausgaard's books delve into the limits of science's explanatory power, highlighting the deepest questions that arise in the areas where knowledge falls short. The text also mentions the inclusion of Russian philosopher Nikolai Fyodorov, who advocated for using science to resurrect the dead, in Knausgaard's work as well as in Richard Powers' novel Playground.
