| Summary | "Niels Lyhne" by J. P. Jacobsen is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character Niels Lyhne, who embodies the struggles and aspirations of a poet while grappling with the reality of his unfulfilled dreams. The novel explores themes of idealism, love, and the conflict between imagination and the harshness of reality, providing insight into both Niels' inner world and his relationships with those around him. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to various characters, including Bartholine, a young girl with dreams and a longing for a poetic life, and Niels Lyhne himself, a timid young man haunted by self-doubt and the burden of expectations. The opening chapters illustrate Niels' upbringing, marked by his mother's romantic ideals and the stark reality of his surroundings. His interactions with Bartholine and the beginning of poignant relationships unfold against a backdrop of failed expectations and the harshness of adult life. As Niels navigates his childhood memories and the complexities of burgeoning love, there is a sense of both wonder and impending disappointment that permeates his existence.
