1902 | Jonas Lie Collected Works Commemorative Edition - Volume II https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53840319945_c24c90bd53_c_d.jpg Jonas Lauritz Idemil Lie was a Norwegian novelist, poet, and playwright. Alongside Henrik Ibsen, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, and Alexander Kielland, he is considered one of the four literary masters of 19th-century Norwegian literature. His works often reflect the Norwegian nation's natural landscapes, folk life, and social spirit. They delve into family life across different backgrounds, including depictions of the social and intellectual constraints faced by educated women. He was a versatile writer, embracing liberalism and modernism while also being deeply influenced by tradition. This volume includes five novels: *Adam Schrader* (1879), *Grumme* (1880), *Rutland* (1881), *Livsslaven* (1883), and *Afloat* (1882). Among these, the renowned *Livsslaven* (The Slave of Life) is an extremely tragic tale of suffering and error.
