Summary "Haaveilija" by Knut Hamsun is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around Marie van Loos, a housemaid at a parsonage, as she navigates her emotions and observations regarding her fiancé, Ove Rolandsen, and the new pastor's arrival in the community. The narrative hints at themes of ambition, aspiration, and the complexities of love in a rural setting. The opening of "Haaveilija" establishes the atmosphere of anticipation and change in a small parish, coinciding with the arrival of a new pastor and his family. As Marie van Loos looks out the kitchen window, she observes her fiancé and a local girl, sparking her curiosity and concern about their growing connection. The community buzzes with excitement and speculation about the new pastor's wealth and the impact he will have on their lives. Rolandsen is portrayed as a complex figure, grappling with his feelings for both Marie and Olga, the village girl, indicating a love triangle that may unfold as the story progresses.
