Mathilde Mann Volgorde van de boeken

Set in a late 19th-century Norwegian coastal village, this novel explores the tragic love story of Johannes, a miller's son, and Victoria, an impoverished aristocrat. Their romance is hindered by class differences and societal expectations, leading to a poignant realization of their lost chance at happiness. Celebrated for its poetic and psychologically rich narrative, the story delves into the complexities of love within a rigid class structure. This new translation captures the haunting lyricism and emotional resonance of Hamsun's work.
