About the author

Norwegian writer Arne Evenson Garborg, born Aadne Eivindsson Garborg, championed the use of Landsmål (now known as Nynorsk, or New Norwegian), as a literary language; he translated the Odyssey into it. He founded the weekly Fedraheim in 1877, in which he urged reforms in many spheres including political, social, religious, agrarian, and linguistic.

His novels are profound and gripping while his essays are clear and insightful. He was never inclined to steer clear of controversy. His work tackled the issues of the day, including the relevance of religion in modern times, the conflicts between national and European identity, and the ability of the common people to actually participate in political processes and decisions.

Reviews

[Bodil Hernesvold · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ei lita perle av ei bok, så full av tankar om natur og menneske, om skriving, om å vere søvnlause småbarnsforeldre. Skildringane av kulde og matmangel står i sterk kontrast til eigne opplevingar ved Savalen i dag (på fjellhotellet).
