«Un muchacho de buen temple» is the novel by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, published by Orbis in paperback (142 pages, in Spanish).
Set in nineteenth-century Norway, it follows the steps of a determined boy who grows up amid difficulties and personal aspirations. The narrative combines rural life with the awakening of affections and the will to build a future, in a coming-of-age story where effort and perseverance shape the protagonist's destiny.
It belongs to the «Los Premios Nobel» collection by Orbis (no. 37) and reproduces the original work «En glad gutt», published in 1860. Bjørnson received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1903.
For readers of classic Nordic fiction and nineteenth-century coming-of-age stories.
Bjørnstjerne Martinius Bjørnson was a Norwegian writer who received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Literature "as a tribute to his noble, magnificent and versatile poetry, which has always been distinguished by both the freshness of its inspiration and the rare purity of its spirit". The first Norwegian Nobel laureate, he was a prolific polemicist and extremely influential in Norwegian public life and Scandinavian cultural debate. Bjørnson is considered to be one of "the four greats" of Norwegian literature, alongside Ibsen, Lie, and Kielland. He is also celebrated for his lyrics to the Norwegian national anthem, "Ja, vi elsker dette landet". The composer Fredrikke Waaler based a composition for voice and piano on a text by Bjørnson, as did Anna Teichmüller.
