Produktbeschreibung
"The Dangerous Age" is a singular penned with the aid of Danish author Karin Michaëlis. Set towards the backdrop of early 20th-century Scandinavia, the story revolves around the complexities of marriage, societal expectations, and the evolving roles of ladies. The narrative unfolds because the protagonist, Meta, grapples with the challenges of a wedding that has lost its preliminary energy. Karin Michaëlis delves into the mental intricacies of relationships, portraying the tensions and dreams of individuals in the confines of societal norms. Meta, a female in her thirties, confronts the societal perception of the "risky age," an age at which ladies are taken into consideration to be past their high and dealing with the decline of desirability. As the narrative unfolds, Meta navigates the conflicts among personal achievement and societal expectancies, questioning the jobs assigned to ladies in a changing world. Michaëlis' exploration of the "risky age" turns into a lens thru which she critiques the constraints placed on girls at some stage in this era. "The Dangerous Age" stands as a poignant social observation, providing a nuanced portrayal of the challenges and aspirations of ladies within the early 20th century, and cementing Karin Michaëlis as an eager observer of human relationships and societal dynamics.
