Description
Offered here is a rare and historically significant first edition of Det Glade Hjørne. Vestlandsroman by Thomas P. Krag, published in 1901. This original printing is a valuable piece of Norwegian literary history, written by one of the notable voices of early 20th-century Scandinavian literature.
Thomas P. Krag (1868-1913) was a key figure in the transition from romanticism to realism in Norwegian prose. His novels often captured the psychological nuances of his characters and the richly textured settings of his homeland. Det Glade Hjørne, or The Happy Corner, is set in western Norway and exemplifies Krag’s regional focus, exploring the culture, people, and emotional life of the Vestlandet region.
This copy remains in its original binding. The boards are still firmly attached, though the spine shows damage along its entire length. There are no missing pages, and the text remains complete and legible. Despite the cosmetic wear, the book is structurally sound-a worthy addition for collectors of rare Norwegian books or enthusiasts of early modern literature.
This is a scarce find in any condition, particularly in its first printing and original binding. It represents both a literary artifact and a piece of cultural history from a key period in Norway’s literary evolution.
