Relish a BRIEF ENCOUNTER with Ingmar Bergman, cinematic visionary, in this tender autobiographical novel of childhood and awakening

One of Cinema's great masters revisits his childhood - and the end of his parent's marriage - in a novella of awakening

Over the course of one summer, eight-year-old Pu Bergman realises that his parents are no longer in love. Surrounded by the quiet idyll of the Swedish countryside, with its ponds, rivers and woods, the daily chaos of the family’s ramshackle summer home threatens to end the bright, brilliant haze of Pu’s childhood world.

BRIEF ENCOUNTERS: classic novellas and captivating stories, to be read in a single sitting or savoured over days
