Alexander L. Kielland Livres

    Alexander Lange Kielland s'impose comme l'un des écrivains réalistes les plus éminents de la Norvège du XIXe siècle, salué comme un pilier de la littérature nationale. Malgré sa naissance aisée, il défendit constamment les moins fortunés et demeura un critique virulent de l'hypocrisie sociale tout au long de sa carrière. Ses œuvres, souvent marquées par une satire mordante, ciblaient fréquemment les défaillances perçues du clergé et du système éducatif. L'héritage durable de Kielland réside dans ses romans perspicaces et ses nouvelles captivantes qui continuent d'offrir des commentaires sociaux d'une pertinence intemporelle.

      Alexander Lange Kielland (1849-1906) zählt zu den "Großen Vier" der norwegischen Literatur und prägte die Moderne in Skandinavien. Zunächst Jurist, wurde er ab 1879 Schriftsteller. Seine sozialkritischen Romane, beeinflusst von Dickens und Turgenjew, sind oft satirisch. Seine Napoleon-Biografie zeichnet sich durch erfrischende Subjektivität aus.
