Boyhood In Norway (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169262034)

Boyhood In Norway is a memoir written by Hjalmar Boyesen, a Norwegian-American author and professor. The book describes Boyesen's childhood experiences in Norway during the mid-19th century. The author vividly depicts the natural beauty of Norway, its customs and traditions, and the challenges faced by his family and community. Boyesen recounts his early education, his love for literature, and his experiences with family and friends. He also explores the social and political climate of Norway during his youth, including the impact of the Napoleonic Wars and the emerging spirit of Norwegian nationalism. Through his personal narrative, Boyesen provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and the formative years of one of Norway's most celebrated writers.There had never BEEN a masquerade in Bumlebro, and there would not have been one now, if it had not been for the enterprise of young Arctander and young Norbeck, who had just returned from the military academy in the capital, and were anxious to exhibit themselves to the young girls in their glory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
