    Der Vorabend des 8. April 1940, dem Tag der deutschen Invasion in Norwegen. Die norwegische Armee hält noch einige Wochen durch, aber als die Regierung sich nach London absetzt und das Land sich selbst überlässt, ist Sigrid Undset klar, dass sie wegmuss. In überfüllten Zügen, zu Fuß, auf Skiern durchs verschneite Gebirge, über Schleichwege gelangt sie über die Grenze nach Schweden, wo sie für den Moment in Sicherheit ist. In Stockholm möchte sie gern aktiv werden, darf aber nicht, wegen Hans, ihrem Sohn, der noch in Norwegen ist; die Nazis nehmen gern Geiseln und zwingen die Angehörigen so zur Kooperation. Und Schweden ist zwar neutral, aber die führenden Kreise sind überaus Deutschenfreundlich. Nächste Station ist Moskau, ein Kulturschock, protzige Fassaden und gewaltige Neubauten, daneben Verfall, Bettler, Schmutz. Und viele Menschen, zu denen sie als Nobelpreisträgerin und Vorsitzende des Schriftstellerverbandes Kontakt hatte, sind verschwunden und ihr wird bedeutet, deren Namen lieber nicht zu erwähnen. Viel Lauferei, dann geht es mit der Transsibirischen Eisenbahn nach Wladiwostok. Von dort mit dem Dampfer nach Japan: alles sauber, fließendes Wasser, gutes Essen, eine uralte Kultur, wäre da nicht die Behandlung der Frauen ... Schließlich: das Schiff, das sie in die USA bringen wird, in ein Land, das noch eine Zukunft hat.Gibt es etwas im deutschen Wesen, das es für Diktaturen empfänglich macht? Diese Frage treibt Undset um, deren ältester Sohn Anders im Krieg gegen Deutschland gefallen ist. Eine spannende und informative Lektüre, vieles davon ist hierzulande noch immer unbekannt - zum ersten Mal ins Deutsche übersetzt von Gabriele Haefs.

    First published in English in 1927, "The Cross" is the final book in the "Kristin Lavransdatter" trilogy, which depicts the life of a Norwegian woman from her childhood to her death in the 14th century. The first book in the series, "The Wreath", follows the young Kristin as she clashes with her family, who are religious and prosperous farmers, while she falls in love with, and eventually marries, a man that her parents do not approve of. In the second book, "The Wife", Kristin finally faces adult responsibilities and concerns as she makes a life with her husband. She atones for the sins of her youth and rises to the challenges of raising a large family and running an estate while married to an irresponsible and impulsive man. In the final installment of the trilogy, "The Cross", we find Kristin and her family returning to her childhood farm, which is the only property left to them given the loss of her husband's inheritance. There she struggles to gain the respect of her community while dealing with a sequence of family and personal conflicts as the work advances towards its tragic conclusion. Recognized for its realistic portrayal of 14th century Norwegian life, the "Kristin Lavransdatter" trilogy is the principal body of work that would win Sigrid Undset the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1928. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Hun går barføtt til Olavs grav for å legge ned krans der, i håp om at han vil tale hennes sak overfor Gud."Husfrue I" inneholder "Syndens frukt" kap. 1-6 og "Husaby" kap. 1-3.
