ناجو الدارية (الفارسية) 2023

Furan by Lisen Adbåge in Dari. Nominated for the August Prize 2021! A family finds their dream plot. A shack that stands in the way is demolished and some old pine trees are sawn down. It is from these pines that they will build their new house. This is where they will live, this is where they will live! But there is something strange about the trees, they are struggling. The sap is flowing and the wood is groaning. It is as if the trees were alive, that is as if made of flesh and blood... Strange things start to happen. One morning the whole house is covered in pine needles, and doesn't the family start to feel a little odd? The Fir Tree is a real thrill for children and adults. It is a creepy, evocative, and beautiful book about nature and its people.
