Books in the Series B: English Translations of Works of Scandinavian Literature series

The first in a trilogy of books that examine the evil inherent in the human race. Set in a middle-European principality, it centres on the narrator, a servant of justice, employed to brush gowns, fill inkwells and be daily witness to injustice masquerading as a court of law.

Hans Borli's verse portrays his experiences of the Norwegian forests - with the moods of sky and water, with the creatures that moved in air and woodland, and with the trees themselves. But, a number of his poems also show that he is, by no means, remote from the varied human experiences of his times. This title contains a collection of his poems.
