Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Niobe Early in the spring of 1874, the present writer happened to be the guest of the late head of the great Gyldendal house of publishers, the elegant and hospitable Mr. Frederik Hegel, in the classic parlour of his firm in Copenhagen. A clerk brought in, fresh from the press, the first copy of a new novel, on whose pale green paper cover was an engraving of a boat, in heavy weather, tacking outside a Norwegian promontory. "You shall take this with you, if you will," said Mr. Hegel, as he wrote my name with venligst og oerbödugt fra Forloeggeren, "and make acquaintance with Jonas Lie." "And who is Jonas Lie?" I asked. "He is a Norwegian," he answered, "like our friends Bjornson and Ibsen, and, though comparatively few people know his name to-day, I predict that in ten years´ time he will have more readers than any other Scandinavian writer." The prophecy has come true, at all events so far as Scandinavia itself is concerned. At this moment Jonas Lie is locally the most popular of the Northern novelists.
