Arne Garborg Boeken
Arne Garborg was een Noorse schrijver die het gebruik van Landsmål (nu Nynorsk) als literaire taal promootte. Zijn romans zijn diepzinnig en meeslepend, terwijl zijn essays helder en inzichtelijk zijn. Hij schuwde controverses niet en behandelde actuele kwesties, zoals de relevantie van religie in de moderne tijd, conflicten tussen nationale en Europese identiteit, en het vermogen van gewone mensen om deel te nemen aan politieke processen.

The novel features Gabriel Gram, a nearly middle-aged bachelor grappling with an existential crisis and contemplating suicide. Unlike other decadent protagonists, Gram's journey is infused with irony as he navigates his psychological struggles and ultimately seeks solace in a questionable religious conversion. Set in Kristiania (modern-day Oslo), the story vividly portrays Gram's interactions with male friends and the "new women" of Norway, who challenge societal norms yet resist his advances. Garborg's exploration of character depth and societal themes resonates throughout this classic work.
