關於本電子書
The setting is Rome, around 1905-1910, Jenny Winge is a beautiful, blonde, twenty-something painter. The reserved Jenny hangs out with a lively, bohemian crowd of fellow artists, including her special friend and roommate, Fransiska (Cesca) Jahrmann. Enter Helge Gram, a somewhat dorky fellow Norwegian, who latches onto Jenny. Her friends protest, but eventually come to accept him because of Jenny's love-me-love-my-dog attitude. Jenny and Cesca have many discussions about their choices in life. (Amazon)
關於作者
Sigrid Undset (1882-1949) was a Norwegian novelist whose profound explorations of medieval and contemporary life earned her the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1928. Born in Kalundborg, Denmark, and raised in Norway, Undset's early life was marked by financial hardship following her father's death. Despite these challenges, she developed a deep love for history and literature, which would later permeate her writing.Undset's personal life was as compelling as her fiction. She converted to Catholicism in 1924, a bold move in predominantly Protestant Norway, which influenced much of her later work and added a rich spiritual dimension to her narratives. Her conversion was controversial, sparking intense public debate and criticism, yet it also garnered her a devoted following.During World War II, Undset's outspoken opposition to Nazi occupation forced her to flee Norway, first to Sweden and then to the United States. Her wartime experiences and her subsequent writings made her a symbol of resistance and moral integrity.Undset's literary contributions are notable for their psychological depth and historical accuracy. She masterfully depicted the complexities of human nature and the struggles of women in a patriarchal society, themes that resonate with contemporary readers and writers alike. Her works have inspired a generation of authors to explore the intersections of history, religion, and personal identity.Sigrid Undset remains a towering figure in literature, celebrated for her ability to weave intricate tales that reflect the timeless human condition. Her legacy continues to influence and inspire, making her a vital figure in the canon of world literature.
