A Happy Boy is a novel written by Bjornstjerne M. Bjornson, a Norwegian author, and Nobel Prize winner. The story revolves around the life of a young boy named Oyvind, who grows up in a small village in Norway. Despite his humble beginnings, Oyvind is a happy and optimistic child who always sees the good in people and life.As he grows up, Oyvind faces several challenges, including the death of his mother, which causes him to become withdrawn and isolated. However, with the help of his father and his childhood friend, Marit, Oyvind learns to overcome his grief and find joy in life again.Throughout the novel, Bjornson explores themes of love, friendship, and the importance of community. He also highlights the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of life, which are often overlooked in modern society.Overall, A Happy Boy is a heartwarming and uplifting novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love and friendship. It is a timeless classic that continues to inspire readers of all ages and backgrounds.When Eyvind opened his eyes next morning it was from a long, refreshing sleep and happy dreams. Marit had lain on the rock and thrown down leaves at him; he had caught them and thrown them up again; they went up and down in a thousand colours and figures; the sun shone on them, and the whole rock sparkled. As he awoke he looked round, expecting still to see the picture of his dream; then he recollected the previous day, and immediately the same tingling, bitter pain in his breast began again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
