The Cross;Kristin Lavransdatter - Volume III: The Kristin Lavransdatter Series, cartea 3

Autor Sigrid Undset
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2009
In this heart-wrenching novel by Sigrid Undset, The Cross brings Kristin's story to a close as the final years of her life are consumed by the Black Death, in the final installment in the well-known Norwegian trilogy, Kristin Lavransdatter. Kristin Lavransdatter has lost almost everything she loves. As the Black Death rapidly approaches Norway, she once again has to decide what is most important to her. Kristin grapples with her failing marriage and wavering faith while attempting to support eight sons. The once charmingly reckless characters are now facing their greatest challenge yet: the inevitability of their diminishing lives. Completing the trilogy, Sigrid Undset's third Kristin Lavransdatter book was originally published in 1922. The author's colourful depiction of 14th century Norway is continued in this final volume as she provides a fascinatingly accurate insight into medieval Scandinavia. Proudly republished by Read & Co. Books, this new edition of The Cross features an excerpt from Six Scandinavian Novelists by Alrik Gustafrom. An essential addition to the bookshelves of Kristen Lavransdatter fans, this volume is the perfect end to the classic Norwegian series.

Notă biografică

Sigrid Undset (1882-1949) was a Norwegian-Danish author born in Kalundborg, Denmark. Her best-known work is the historical fiction trilogy, Kristin Lavransdatter, published between 1920 and 1922. The books capture life in medieval Norway from the perspective of one woman, from birth to death. Despite her atheist upbringing, Undset converted to Catholicism in 1924 and most of her following work reflects her strong, religious beliefs. In 1928, Undset won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
