(William Allan) Skipper Worse Produced by Ron Swanson (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries) "Skipper Worse" by Alexander Lange Kielland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around the character Jacob Worse, an accomplished sailor who returns home after a long voyage to Rio de Janeiro. The novel explores his interactions with the local community, his struggles with his past, and the complexities of societal norms that are intertwined with the religious revival movements prevalent on the Norwegian west coast. The opening of "Skipper Worse" introduces us to the titular character as he navigates his homecoming aboard his vessel, the "Hope of the Family". Upon arrival, he is met with a mixture of joy and tension, particularly with regard to his employer, Consul Garman, who is anxious about the financial state of his business amidst societal and personal losses. The narrative captures the contrast between the lively welcome from the crew's families and the somber relations that Worse has with others, highlighting themes of alienation and ambition. As Worse acclaimed his past achievements, we also glimpse his vulnerabilities and the expectations from the community that may weigh heavily on him as he seeks to find his place amidst changing social dynamics.
