Alberta and Freedom is the second novel in Cora Sandel's acclaimed semi-autobiographical Alberta trilogy. In it the young Alberta Selmer escapes from her family and the suffocating provinciality of her small, cold town in Norway and arrives in bohemian, artistic Paris to launch her literary career. But the city is not all that the sensitive young woman has imagined. Although she begins to get some of her writing published in journals, her self-esteem is low and her lack of worldly experience makes her prey to the casual approaches of predatory men. With her new-found freedom comes a struggle to survive and to realize her artistic talent.
Cora Sandel is considered one of the foremost Scandinavian writers of the twentieth century, and the Alberta trilogy is her masterpiece.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. NEW TRA. Cora Sandel was one of the most important Scandinavian writers of the 20th century and this is the second volume in her richly acclaimed Alberta trilogy. Alberta Selmer escapes from her cold suffocating provincial life in Norway to seek out the summer riches in Paris: a city where the bohemians will never die, where there is absinthe and endless talk of Cubism. But Paris is not all she imagined: although she begins to write small pieces for newspapers and periodicals, Alberta's self-esteem is low, and her inexperience makes her prey to the casual approaches of predatory men. Relationships, when they happen, are neither easy nor happy. Feeling her talent beginning to suffer and her freedom stagnating, Alberta faces a struggle to survive. After its publication in 1931, Alberta and Freedom established itself as an immediate classic and Alberta Selmer as one of the century's great anti-heroines. Codice articolo SONG0720612632
