Visionary: Or Pictures From Nordland

The Visionary: Or Pictures From Nordland is a novel written by Jonas Lie. The story is set in the northern region of Norway, known as Nordland, and follows the life of a young man named Johan T������nnesen. Johan is a visionary who is deeply connected to the natural world and has a strong desire to explore and understand the mysteries of life. The novel is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on Johan's childhood and his relationship with his father, who is a fisherman. Johan's father is a stern man who does not understand his son's fascination with the natural world and wants him to follow in his footsteps as a fisherman. Despite this, Johan spends his days exploring the forests and mountains of Nordland, and develops a deep connection with the land and the creatures that inhabit it. The second part of the novel follows Johan as a young man. He leaves Nordland to study in the city, but struggles to find his place in society. He becomes involved with a group of artists and intellectuals who share his passion for nature and the mysteries of life. Johan's experiences in the city lead him to question his own beliefs and values, and he begins to feel a sense of alienation from the world around him. Throughout the novel, Lie uses vivid descriptions of the natural world to create a sense of wonder and awe. He also explores themes of identity, belonging, and the search for meaning in life. The Visionary: Or Pictures From Nordland is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between humans and the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
