Alexander Kielland
Alexander Kielland was a prominent Norwegian author and playwright, born on February 18, 1849, in Stavanger, Norway. He is best known for his naturalistic novels that explore social issues, particularly the struggles of the working class and the moral dilemmas of the bourgeoisie. His works, including 'Garman & Worse' and 'Skipper Worse,' are characterized by sharp social criticism and a keen observation of human nature. Kielland was also active in politics and was an advocate for social reform in Norway. His literary contributions have made him one of the central figures of Norwegian literature, and he remains a significant influence on contemporary discussions about social justice and ethics in literature.
