Publisher's Synopsis

A complete edition of a Danish classic literary masterpiece. Books I to IV: I. Boyhood; II. Apprenticeship; III. The Great Struggle; IV. Daybreak. A boat filled with emigrants from Sweden arrives at the Danish island of Bornholm. Among them are Lasse and his son Pelle who have moved to Denmark to find work after the death of Pelle's mother. They find employment at a large farm, but find themselves treated as the lowest form of life. It is only as Pelle starts to speak Danish that he begins to gain in confidence, but is still discriminated against as a foreigner. But neither boy nor father is willing to give up their dream of finding a better life than that which they left in Sweden.
