Just pure fun.” —NPR.org “Which of us has not had that wonderfully seditious idea: to play hooky for a while from life as we know it?” With these words from his foreword, Pico Iyer puts his finger on the exhilaratingly anarchic appeal of The Year of the Hare, a novel in the bestselling tradition of Watership Down, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and Life of Pi. While out on assignment, a journalist hits a hare with his car. This small incident becomes life-changing: he decides to quit his job, leave his wife, sell his possessions, and spend a year wandering the wilds of Finland—with the bunny as his boon companion. What ensues is a series of comic misadventures, as everywhere they go—whether chased up a tree by dogs, or to a formal state dinner, or in pursuit of a bear across the Finnish border with Russia—they leave mayhem (and laughter!) in their wake.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 130 x 195 x 13\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Arto Paasilinna | Pico Iyer | Herbert Lomas\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780143117926\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 208\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48787332825241,"sku":"17RD-4-9780143117926","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/The_Year_of_the_Hare_A_Novel.jpg?v=1786078875","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/the-year-of-the-hare-a-novel","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
