ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The literary debut of a Swedish cosmopolitan city-guy turned sheepherder for 1, 026 days.
Counting Sheep is a subtle and philosophical book, exquisitely witty and moving, in which its author, a Swedish scholar, becomes a shepherd and tries to organize his life on a farm with an elusive flock of sheep.
Linden begins his adventure with a naive idea of what it will mean to take care of his property and, above all, his flock, but as time goes by and he adapts to his new reality, any trace of naivety fades and is replaced with a full understanding of what his reality as a pastor is: sometimes hard, at times easy, sometimes very satisfying, and other times exhausting.
Counting Sheep collects Axel Linden's thoughts and feelings from his 1, 026 days spent in the country, while at the same time getting us back to basics and reflect upon the responsibilities involved in taking care of something and someone.
