Alexander Lange Kielland

Traduttore R L Cassie

Sinossi

A collection of short stories by one of the preeminent voices of nineteenth-century Norwegian literature. Alexander L. Kielland ranks alongside Henrik Ibsen and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson as one of Norway’s great literary masters. First published in 1896, this volume of Kielland’s short fiction introduced English-speaking audiences to his incisive realism and his satirical yet humane vision of Norse society.  The ten stories included here offer a fascinating depiction of nineteenth-century Norwegian provincial life, as well as a vivid portrait of Kielland’s native town, Stavanger.
