Arne Garborg Livres
Arne Garborg fut un écrivain norvégien qui défendit l'usage du Landsmål (aujourd'hui Nynorsk) comme langue littéraire. Ses romans sont profonds et captivants, tandis que ses essais sont clairs et perspicaces. Il n'évitait pas la controverse, abordant des questions d'actualité telles que la pertinence de la religion à l'époque moderne, les conflits entre identité nationale et européenne, et la capacité du peuple à participer aux processus politiques.

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.
