Autorenporträt
Alexander Lange Kielland was born on February 18, 1849, in Stavanger, Norway, into a prominent and affluent family. His father, Jens Zetlitz Kielland, was a successful businessman, and his mother, Christiane Lange, came from a family with strong cultural and academic ties. Kielland's privileged upbringing allowed him to receive a comprehensive education, which laid the foundation for his future literary career. Kielland attended Stavanger Cathedral School and later studied law at the University of Christiania (now the University of Oslo). Despite his legal education, he was more interested in literature and the arts, which eventually led him to pursue a career as a writer. Kielland's literary output includes novels, short stories, and essays, many of which critique the social and moral issues of his time. Some of his most significant works include: "Garman & Worse" (1880): Kielland's debut novel, which explores the conflicts between tradition and progress within a Norwegian coastal town's shipping company. "Skipper Worse" (1882): A novel that delves into the lives of Norwegian seafarers and the influence of religious movements on their communities. "Else" (1881): A novella that addresses issues of gender and social inequality, focusing on the struggles of a young woman in a male-dominated society. "Arbeidsfolk" (1881): A collection of short stories highlighting the lives and struggles of the working class. A novel that critiques the moral and social consequences of industrialization and capitalist greed. Kielland's writing is characterized by its clear, concise prose and its use of irony and satire. He had a talent for creating vivid, realistic characters and settings, and his works often reflect his deep concern for social issues. His ability to combine social critique with engaging storytelling has made him one of Norway's most respected authors.
