My Struggle (Six Volumes in Total)

Norwegian writer Carl Ove Knausgaard's six-volume autobiographical novel "Mein Kampf" has nothing to do with Hitler's ambitions. It is the author's autobiography of his growth and life for more than forty years. The themes of the six volumes are death, love, childhood, youth, dreams, and thinking. The book uses a flowing style to describe ordinary life, which is straightforward and frank, with "masochistic truth and triviality", and also shows touching sensitivity in the daily details. This book is the last part of the "Mein Kampf" series. Like a falling boulder, it completely stirs up the reader's memory and understanding of the first five parts. It begins with the unhappiness and controversy that aroused among family and friends when the first book was published, and ends with his wife Linda's treatment and recovery from depression. It includes four hundred pages of meditations on Hitler, Nazism, and the nature of evil, as well as a close reading of a poem by Paul Celan about the Holocaust. The book intersperses between the individual's external world and the internal world, exploring the irreconcilable tension between literature and reality, private and public boundaries, and individual life and social forces.
