Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Set in fourteenth-century Norway, The Wreath, the first volume of Undset?s medieval trilogy begins the life story of Kristin Lavransdatter. Starting with Kristin?s childhood and continuing through her romance with Erlend Nikulaussn, a dangerously charming and impetuous man, Undset re-creates the historical backdrop in vivid detail, immersing readers in the day-to-day life, social conventions, and political undercurrents of the period. But the story she tells is a modern one, brought to life with clarity and lyrical beauty in this remarkable translation by Tiina Nunnally. Defying her parents and stubbornly pursuing her own happiness, Kristin emerges as a woman who loves with power and passion
