More About This Book

Overview

In her great historical epic Kristin Lavransdatter, set in fourteenth-century Norway, Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset tells the life story of one passionate and headstrong woman. Painting a richly detailed backdrop, Undset immerses readers in the day-to-day life, social conventions, and political and religious undercurrents of the period. Now in one volume, Tiina Nunnally’s award-winning definitive translation brings this remarkable work to life with clarity and lyrical beauty.

As a young girl, Kristin is deeply devoted to her father, a kind and courageous man. But when as a student in a convent school she meets the charming and impetuous Erlend Nikulaussøn, she defies her parents in pursuit of her own desires. Her saga continues through her marriage to Erlend, their tumultuous life together raising seven sons as Erlend seeks to strengthen his political influence, and finally their estrangement as the world around them tumbles into uncertainty.

With its captivating heroine and emotional potency, Kristin Lavransdatter is the masterwork of Norway’s most beloved author—one of the twentieth century’s most prodigious and engaged literary minds—and, in Nunnally’s exquisite translation, a story that continues to enthrall.

  • A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with French flaps and rough front
  • Includes a new introduction by Scandinavian literature expert Brad Leithauser especially commissioned for this edition

Set in 14th century Norway, it tells the story of Kristin's stormy romance with Erlend Nikalausson.

    A stark and bracing saga of medieval Norway...

    In this new translation by Tiina Nunnally of a Nobel Prize winning Norwegian epic, Sigrid Undset's classic evocation of medieval Norway's landscapes, architecture, culture, and society has quickly become one of my favorite books ever. Reading the quiet and effortless prose that is nonetheless steeped in studious observations about characters and society, one becomes completely captivated by another culture in another time. There is a feeling as of walking in a pine grove early on a winter's morning: high, piercing, and haunting. The book explores the life of its title character, Kristin, as she grows into a young maiden in a secluded montane farming village, rebels against her parents' wishes and marries the charming yet irresponsible Erlend Nikulausson, becomes a mother to seven sons, and continuously faces the trials and tragedies of life and the consequences of pride. Exploring the harsh, dramatic, and lush climates, and a people at turns blunt and delicate, simple and intricate, Undset's Norway is filled with courage, community, meaning, and bracing charity that rings of timeless truth and beauty and relevance. It is available in this one-volume deluxe version or separately in its original three volumes, The Wreath, The Wife, and The Cross.

    I found a volume from the forties containing the trilogy Kristin Lavransdatter. I found it the most compelling book I have read in many years. Absolutely addictive. I am nearing the end of 'The Mistress of Husaby.' Truly her characters are as real as one's own inmost thoughts.

    Loved it!

    I stumbled upon this book by accident. What a wonderful accident it was! I couldn't put it down.

    This book is the life story of one woman, her loves, losses, children and friends. Though the story takes place in the 14th century the characters seem like present day people - reminding me of people I have known and in some cases loved. At times the story turns exciting, frustrating, infuriating and lovely - with smooth transitions that entice you on to the next page even when it is the middle of the night. I loved every word!

    once in a lifetime read

    Where to begin...loved the complexity of the characters, especially Kristen. I will definitely ask my daughter to read this story. The joy and suffering of a mother - timeless, as told in this story. I loved to experience life in the middle ages, where everyday life revolves around the Church and Church calendar. I loved how it dealt with faith and religion differently. It showed hypocracy of the Church without ruining one's true faith (the father is an example of this). As a young mother, it was a tough read too for me. Makes me appreciate life in 2008, but also made me long for a simpler life too, where Faith was not scorned.
