A Gauntlet is a novel by Norwegian author Bjornstjerne Bjornson. It tells the story of two young men, Oyvind and Marit, who grow up together in a small rural community in Norway. As children, they are the best of friends, but as they grow older, their relationship becomes strained. Oyvind falls in love with Marit, but she is courted by another man, causing jealousy and conflict between the two friends. The novel explores themes of love, friendship, jealousy, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. It also touches on issues of social class and the tension between tradition and progress in rural Norwegian society. A Gauntlet is considered a classic of Norwegian literature and was originally published in 1883. The novel has been translated into numerous languages and has been adapted for film and stage productions.Christensen. Thank you!

The boy has not been home since. I am almost glad of that; it shows he has some sense of shame. I was beginning to doubt it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
