KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER
Sigrid Undset’s masterful trilogy
“No other novelist has bodied forth the medieval world with such richness and fullness.”
—New York Herald Tribune
The acknowledged masterpiece of the Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian novelist Sigrid Undset, Kristin Lavransdatter has never been out of print in this country since its first publication in 1927. Its narrative of a woman’s life in fourteenth-century Norway has kept its hold on generations of readers, and the heroine, Kristin—beautiful, strong-willed, and passionate—stands with the world’s great literary figures of our time.
THE BRIDAL WREATH
The first volume of this masterwork describes young Kristin’s stormy romance with Erlend Nikulaussön, a young man perhaps overly fond of women, of whom her father strongly disapproves.
FICTION/0-394-75299-6
THE MISTRESS OF HUSABY
Volume II tells of Kristin’s troubled and eventful married life on the great estate of Husaby, to which her husband has taken her.
FICTION/0-394-75293-7
THE CROSS
The final volume shows Kristin still indomitable, reconstructing her world after the devastation of the Black Death and the loss of almost everything that she has loved.
