Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Commodore's Daughters: Jonas Lie
Den Fremsynte was well received in Norway, and Lie was now assured of literary work. But neither in his short stories, Fortellz'nger, 1871, norsin the nov't?'which followed them, asteren Fremtz'a'en The Threfimaster The 1872, did he achieve a complete success. T remasteren was an attempt to give a realistic impression of life in the Arctic ports, but it is not artistically put together, and the movement of the tale is slack. At the age of forty, Jonas Lie was still far from being a distin guished man even in his own country. Yet as early as 1869 Bjornson, speaking at a public meeting at Tromso, had said of Lie: His friends know that he only needs to dip the net down into himself to bring up a full catch. The image was an excellent one, for Lie's nature, during the varied experience of these apparently barren years, had been stocking itself, like a fish-pool, with every variety of living forms.
