Arne - Bjornstjerne Bjornson - Bog

Arne was written in 1858, one year later than Synnove Solbakken, and is thought by many to be Bjornson's best story.
Bj?rnstjerne Bj?rnson (1832-1910) was a poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, editor, public speaker, theatre director, and one of the most prominent public figures in the Norway of his day. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1903 and is generally known, together with Henrik Ibsen, Alexander Kielland, and Jonas Lie, as one of "the four great ones" of 19th-century Norwegian literature. His poem "Ja, vi elsker dette landet" ("Yes, We Love This Land") is the Norwegian national anthem.
