About this ebook

Olav no había dormido y estaba escuchando el juicio que su hijo se había formado sobre su vida. Al mismo tiempo se presentaba a su espíritu una visión en medio del delirio de la fiebre. Este delirio, sin embargo, no era lo suficientemente violento para que no se diera cuenta de las cosas. En él Olav veía un campo lleno dew cardos, de umbellas y de madroños. Las malas hierbas elevaban atrevidamente hacia el sol sus flores amarillas y rojas, y el buen grano crecía tan mal que apenas se daba uno cuenta de que había sido sembrado. Pero, en el campo, alguien avanzaba... Unas veces Olav creía ver a su ángel de la guarda, y otras reconocía a Eirik... Era un amigo que no preguntaba si el moribundo le había cuasado perjuicio, sino que sólo pensaba en levantar las pobres espigas que veía entre los cardos no hubiera debido ser así. La vida de Olav hubiera debido ser como un campo de cebada muy blanca, muy clara, esperando al segador. Pero allí, en el campo, había alguien que había encontrado un puñado de espigas y las pondría en la balanza.

About the author

Sigrid Undset was the daughter of archeologist Ingvald Undset. Cultural, autobiographical, and religious topics constitute a large and interesting portion of her fiction, which in Norway is categorized according to the time of action: medieval or modern. Jenny (1911), an idealistic and tragic love story, is one of the latter novels. Undset's comprehensive knowledge of medieval Scandinavian culture has its literary monuments in Kristin Lavransdatter (1920--22) and The Master of Hestviken (1925--27), historical novels that depict life in the Norwegian Middle Ages. Norwegian criticism of Sigrid Undset's writing centers on her religiosity (she became a conservative, almost reactionary Catholic in Lutheran Norway in the 1920s; she possesses an intensity of belief that is rather naturally expressed in the medieval novels. Yet while she has written religious polemics, the medieval novels are not tendentious. In fact, the central motifs are eroticism, marriage, and family life, in short, the full life of a medieval woman who sees herself in the light of contemporary Christian beliefs. These novels are great, realistic delineations of medieval personalities. During World War II she escaped the German occupation of Norway and fled to America, where she wrote her autobiographical Happy Times in Norway (1942).
