Arne Garborg
Haugtussa, by Arne Garborg, is a cornerstone of Norwegian literature. This narrative poem, first published in 1895, tells the story of Veslemøy, a young woman with second sight, a âHaugtussa,’ who lives close to nature and the supernatural. Through Veslemøy’s experiences, Garborg explores themes of nature, folklore, and the inner life of a sensitive individual. The poem is celebrated for its vivid descriptions of the Norwegian landscape and its insightful portrayal of a woman’s spiritual journey. Garborg’s use of language and his blending of realism and mysticism make Haugtussa a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
