Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google Books "Ovind: A Story of Country Life in Norway" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story captures the experiences of a young boy named Ovind as he navigates childhood, family ties, and social dynamics in rural Norway. Throughout the narrative, themes of ambition, love, and personal growth are explored, particularly in the context of Ovind's relationships with his mother, his schoolmaster, and a girl named Marit, who plays a significant role in his life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Ovind, a lively child with a strong attachment to a little goat that he tends. The story unfolds as he experiences childhood joys and sorrows, including the pivotal moment when he sells his goat for a biscuit, which leads to a sense of loss and regret. Following this incident, Ovind’s aspirations take shape as he begins school, aces his studies, and ultimately longs for a future beyond his humble beginnings. The opening portion of the story serves to set the foundation for Ovind's character development and his interactions with others, particularly his friendship with Marit and the influence of the schoolmaster, who encourages his ambitions. This early exploration of childhood and emotion hints at the deeper themes of social class and personal identity that will evolve as the narrative progresses.
