Garman And Worse A Norwegian Novel
The 19th-century Norwegian novelist Alexander Lange Kielland wrote the book "Garman and Worse: A Norwegian Novel." The 1880 novel delves into the life of the upper class in the Norwegian town of Stavanger, offering a social critique of the time. The Garman and Worse families, who stand in for the upper class in the small town, are central to the story. The lives of the well-drawn individuals are entwined with a web of moral quandaries, interpersonal interactions, and cultural expectations. The book explores the moral and ethical dilemmas that the protagonists must deal with, exposing the bourgeoisie's duplicity and contradictions. The book is acclaimed for both its contribution to Norwegian literature and its incisive social observation. "Garman and Worse" is a gripping tale that tackles ageless topics of morality, society expectations, and the fallout from societal hypocrisy. Kielland's literary style is marked by wit and insight.

Tales From Two Countries
Place branding has become popular. Places brand themselves to attract tourists, talented foreign workers, investments and businesses. The brand accentuates the positive characteristics of the place; it frames the society and sells its cultures. In the context of tourism, this paper examines the branding strategies of two very different countries - Denmark and Singapore. In Singapore, the convergence between the brand message and the place reality is frequently engineered by creating new brand-related products. In Denmark, the brand tries to communicate an existing local reality; it wants to present a prevailing reality. To the Danes, the brand is descriptive and should portray the country in...
Tales of Two Countries
In June, 1867, about a hundred enthusiastic youths were vociferously celebrating the attainment of the baccalaureate degree at the University of Norway. The orator on this occasion was a tall, handsome, distinguished-looking young man named Alexander Kielland, from the little coast-town of Stavanger. There was none of the crudity of a provincial dither in his manners or his appearance. He spoke with a quiet self-possession and a pithy incisiveness which were altogether phenomenal. "That young man will be heard from one of these days," was the unanimous verdict of those who listened to his clear-cut and finished sentences, and noted the maturity of his opinions. But ten years passed, and outside of Stavanger no one ever heard of Alexander Kielland. His friends were aware that he had studied law, spent some winters in France, married, and settled himself as a dignitary in his native town. It was understood that he had bought a large brick and tile factory, and that, as a manufacturer of these useful articles, he bid fair to become a provincial magnate, as his fathers had been before him.
Skipper Worse
Alexander Kielland wrote the book Skipper Worse, which was first released in 1882. The trading house Sandgaard, which Kielland designed using the family's own trading house, "Jacob Kielland & Sn," as a model, is where the story is set in and around Stavanger. The book alternates between the old trade house, which struggles financially, the burgeoning petty bourgeoisie led by the Haugians, and the skipper's club to paint a comprehensive image of the city's different settings. The work features sexuality, generational inconsistencies, hypocritical exposes, romance, environmental descriptions, and a luscious lushness.
Nytt lys over Alexander L. Kielland--
Statsstipendiat Martin Nag (f.1927) bringer i denne boka frem lyset et hittil helt ukjent brevmateriale. Det dreier seg om tolv brev fra arbeiderenJohn Aasland ved Malde Teglverk, noe som gir anledning til å studere Killands forhold til arbeidsfolk. Et hovedtema i Nags bok er å etablere Kielland som den kanskje største arbeidervenn i norsk litteratur. Nag offentliggjør også for første gang Killands hittil utrykte Wagner-artikkel fra 1877. I tillegg bringer han nytt stoff om bl.a. Kiellands "russiske" reise i 1891, om Hamsuns besøk i Kiellands by, og om forholdet Kielland Tsjekhov - Gogol. Bibliografi.
