  • "Een journalist keert zich in gezelschap van een haas af van de moderne maatschappij."
  • "A novel of one man's existential journey away from his life and in to the wild. Vatanen is a journalist in Finland. The car he is riding in accidentally hits a young wild hare. The injured animal scampers off and the car moves on without Vatanen. With the injured hare in his arms, Vatanen starts walking. As the hare slowly heals, so too does Vatanen."
  • "Un journaliste chemine sur les routes de Finlande, pour un nouveau reportage. Un soir de Noël, en pleine forêt, il manque d'écraser un lièvre. La vue de cet animal crée chez lui comme une révélation : la vie est trop courte pour s'ennuyer, or il s'ennuie. Il décide de tout quitter. Le dossier propose un panorama de la littérature finlandaise et des textes autour de la traque, des récits de voyage."
  • ""Vatanen est un journaliste à Helsinki. Alors qu'il revient de la campagne, il heurte un lièvre sur la route. Vatanen s'enfonce dans les fourrés, il récupère le lièvre blessé, lui frabrique une grossière attelle et s'enfonce délibérément dans la nature. Ce roman-culte dans les pays nordiques conte les multiples et extravagnantes aventures de Vatanen remontant au fil des saisons vers le cercle polaire avec son lièvre en guise de sésame."
  • "Suddenly realizing what's important in life (with the help of a bunny), a man quits his job and heads to the countryside in this internationally bestselling comic novel. "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. 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."@en
  • "The car Vatanen is riding in accidentally hits a young wild hare. Vatanen finds the injured hare and starts walking, leaving the dissatisfaction with his former life behind. Travelling through forests and seasons, the hare slowly heals, as does Vatanen. This is a picaresque tale of finding happiness, simplicity and meaning where there was none."@en
  • "A journalist accidentally runs over a hare which he subsequently follows and saves. The grateful animal adopts the journalist and the two scamper together through farcical adventures and political scandals. By a Finnish writer."
  • "Vatanen est journaliste à Helsinki. Alors qu'il revient de la campagne, un dimanche soir de juin, avec un ami, cedernier heurte un lièvre sur la route.
