Arne Garborg Bücher
Arne Garborg war ein norwegischer Schriftsteller, der die Verwendung von Landsmål (heute Nynorsk) als Literatursprache förderte. Seine Romane sind tiefgründig und packend, während seine Essays klar und aufschlussreich sind. Er scheute keine Kontroversen und thematisierte die Relevanz der Religion in der modernen Zeit, die Konflikte zwischen nationaler und europäischer Identität und die Fähigkeit des einfachen Volkes, an politischen Prozessen teilzunehmen.

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.
