Jenny Winge, a Norwegian expatriate immersed in the vibrant art scene of Rome, navigates life within a Bohemian circle of friends who share a passionate appreciation for Beauty. In her quest for an everlasting Love, she often finds herself drawn into tumultuous romantic entanglements, only to grapple with the challenge of reclaiming her independence. Fiercely resisting the pull of conformity, Jenny seeks absolute freedom, yet she remains susceptible to the comforting allure of provincial domesticity. This profound psychological exploration delves into the psyche of the social Outsider—someone who perceives the superficiality of societal norms. This novel serves as a poignant early exploration of existentialist themes, emphasizing the weight of individual choice and its accompanying responsibilities. Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset, renowned for her later masterpiece Kristin Lavransdatter, penned this dark and intricately layered novel in 1911, at the same age as her protagonist, facing similarly daunting existential crossroads.Copyright Fiction Classics アート 哲学 文学史・文学批評 社会科学
