Absalomin tukka by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson
"Absalomin tukka" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Harald Kaas, a sixty-year-old man who has transitioned from a once vibrant, adventurous life to a more subdued existence, living in his estate and reflecting on his past. The narrative also introduces Kirsten Ravn, a talented young woman navigating her own complexities against the backdrop of her unconventional union with Kaas, setting the stagefor themes of love, independence, and societal expectations. The opening of the novel presents us with an evocative portrayal of Harald Kaas, detailing both his physical decline and the remnants of his former stature, while hinting at a life filled with adventure that is now mostly a memory. As Kaas invites four women, all related to him, to stay at his estate for the summer, the dynamics initially present a mix of curiosity and apprehension among the guests, particularly concerning Kaas's unpredictable behavior. Notably, Kirsten Ravn emerges as a central figure, showcasing her strong-willed nature and deep aspirations for independence, which will likely play a significant role in the unfolding story, especially in light of her evolving relationship with Kaas.
