About the book

In «Garman and Worse,» Alexander Lange Kielland intricately weaves a narrative that critiques the bourgeois values of late 19th-century Norway. The novel unfolds within the Garman family, a wealthy merchant clan, revealing the moral decay lurking beneath their opulent facade. Kielland employs a realist literary style characterized by meticulous character development and a keen psychological insight that captures the social dynamics and ethical dilemmas of his time. With its rich dialogues and vivid imagery, the book serves as a poignant exploration of the consequences of greed and ambition, situating itself within the naturalist movement prevalent during the period. Kielland, a prominent figure in the Norwegian literary scene, was deeply influenced by contemporary social issues and his own experiences in a family of merchants. His work often reflects his advocacy for social reform, drawing on the tensions between individual morality and societal expectations. «Garman and Worse» not only addresses the complexities of human relationships but also mirrors Kielland's own disillusionment with the commercial values that dominated the culture of his era. This novel is essential for readers interested in the evolution of Scandinavian literature and the critique of social mores. Kielland's masterful storytelling and incisive commentary establish «Garman and Worse» as a crucial examination of human nature that remains relevant today, making it a must-read for both literary enthusiasts and scholars.
