This is a truly moving short story. I've arranged my thoughts into a haiku, but I can't do it justice:

"The course of one's life,
Denoted by what he gives
In paternal grief."

This is a lovely short story. About a father and how he raised his son seen through the eyes of another. I liked reading it. There's something incredibly lonely about this tale. 3 stars.

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars.

The Father is a touching and sad tale of a man's life with his son through the eyes of the priest as they pass each milestone in the son's life.

Short and to the point, this well written tale jumps from one milestone to the next, the changes in each space apparent from what is happening in the moment. It's a story meant to remind one truly of what matters in life, as well as to show how each milestone impacts the father's views of money and spirituality. The translation is very clearly done, although I am uncertain of who translated this particular edition.

I would recommend this for anyone looking for a sad and touching story to read in a short span of time.

Novellen "Fadern" är skriven av Björnstjerne Björnson som med några sidor lyckades väcka nyfikenhet hos mig för att tolka det som står mellan raderna. Författaren tar oss på en resa i en fars live från det ögonblicket han fått ett barn tills barnet dör och hur olika omständigheter kan påverka oss.

Författaren beskriver hur faderns utseende inte har ändrats genom åren på grund av glädje, medan under ett år av sorg blev han gammal och prästen kände inte honom. Dessutom förmedlar författaren oss att pengar inte kan ge oss glädje.

Jag tycker att novellen är mycket gripande och mycket välskriven därför att den väcker olika känslor i läsaren bland annat nyfikenhet,lycka, kärlek och sorg

Short, but good.

[John Yelverton · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a rather tragic tale of a father who thinks that he has completely his responsibilities to his son, and is quite mistaken in the end.

[Dave · Rating 3 out of 5]

A terrific short story that I read and re-read at least a dozen times and ultimately ended up narrating/sharing on my podcast.

It left me thinking a lot about the meaning behind the story, was it a beautiful story of a father's love for his son, a tale of grief, or a tale of regrets.

Either way, it's a quick read but one that was enjoyable.

You can listen to me narrate it here:

I really hate this "there's freedom in suffering" bs, ESPECIALLY when it involves the church, the least suffering of all.

[منار الرفاعى · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although I didn't love it, there's something charming about it.

Meh

En kritikk av faderrollen og hva den kan føre til. Veldig fyldig kort fortelling.

[Jaclynn (JackieReadsAlot) · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Pasan Mendis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A father, a son and a priest over the course of time. It tells how the father's different encounters with the priest according to each phase of the life of his son.

[Liam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this in class I loved how short it was and the general way the story was told.

[Izzy · Rating 3 out of 5]

read this twice to digest it. and the third time made me a bit sad for the father's loss.

[Matias Garnes · Rating 4 out of 5]

I denne korte og bevegande novella viser Bjørnson kva effekt ein sønns død kan gagne ein rik og likegydlig mann. Han tapte sin sønn og vant livet!

[Anneli Larsen · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5⭐️

[Annika · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nobelpristagare 1903.
En kort novell som väcker många frågor.
Siffran tre?
Tvångsgifte?
Den är enligt mig inte är helt enkel att tolka. Både djupbottnad och symbolisk. Läsvärd men aningen svår.

[midnightfaerie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A sad story about a man who finally learns an important lesson about life and money, but alas, the lesson comes too late.

[malia !]

i’ll b honest i don’t understand

[Isabel · Rating 5 out of 5]

synes det er en fin novelle fra den poetisk realisme. jeg tror fortsatt at jeg foretrekker Camilla Collett, men ikke si det til noen. (Amtmandens døtre ❤)
men godt jobba Bjørnson. ikke det at det betyr noe nå, men jeg liker skrivestilen din. tenkte å prøve meg på En Hanske neste gang.

[Kurt · Rating 3 out of 5]

An understated short story about a rich man, his son and a priest. I read it from Works of Björnsterne Björnson. Translated from Norse by Rasmus B. Anderson. 1882. As a parent, I'd recommend it for age 11 and up.

[Nina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bare Bjørnson kan få sagt så mye med så få ord.

[Adam Dalton]

Extremely short book but quick fascinating read!
