Recenzii

“Wergeland’s poems on the plight of the Jews will make his struggle known to a broader readership and give the rest of the world access to some of the greatest poems in Norwegian and Scandinavian literature.”—Vigdis Ystad, University of Oslo

“Henrik Wergeland’s battle on behalf of the admission of Jews to Norway and for the equality of man clearly had a decisive significance for the Jews who wished to settle in Norway, but it was also of great importance to Norway’s reputation as a civilized, cultured state. No nation can avoid the judgment of history. And the judgment would have been harsh without Wergeland’s exertions. As a fighter for freedom, Wergeland was a shining example to his contemporaries and a guiding light for the ages to follow.”—Jo Benkow, president of the Norwegian Parliament, 1985–89 and 1989–93

“This timeless poetry has relevance and an important message, not least in our own time.”—Michael Melchior, former Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel, Chief Rabbi of Norway

Notă biografică

Henrik Wergeland (1808–45) was one of the leading figures in Scandinavian Romanticism and ranks as one of Norway’s greatest poets.
