Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passage from the book...Jonas (Lauritz Edemil) Lie was one of Norway's most prolific nineteenth century novelists. The son of a town sheriff, he grew up above the Arctic Circle in the city of Tromsø, where his youthful impressions of the wild sea-going life provided material for many of the stories in this collection, first published in 1893. "Weird Tales from Northern Seas" was originally written in Danish, which was the official language of Norway for many centuries. As you might expect from your reading of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen these tales of the Northern Seas are not only weird, but grim. Grimmer than Grimm I should say. The supernatural beings that haunt the shores and depths of the sea are uniformly malignant--including the merfolk. Even a seal "looked so evilly and viciously at him with its bloodshot eyes...that Elias thought he should have died on the spot for sheer fright."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonas Lie is considered to be one of the four great authors of 19th century Norwegian literature. As a boy he was sent to a naval school, but his poor eyesight required him to transfer to a Latin school. After his university studies he began practicing law. This collection of stories embodies the superstitions of the fisherman and common people living along the seacoast in northern Norway. Included in this volume are: The Fisherman and the Drug, Tug of War, The earth Draws, Finn Blood and other stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonas Lie is sufficiently famous to need but a very few words of introduction. Ever since 1870, when he made his reputation by his first novel, "Den Fremsynte," he has been a prime favourite with the Scandinavian public, and of late years his principal romances have gone the round of Europe. He has written novels of all kinds, but he excels when he describes the wild seas of Northern Norway, and the stern and hardy race of sail-ors and fishers who seek their fortunes, and so often find their graves, on those dangerous waters. Such tales, for instance, as "Tremasteren Fremtid," "Lodsen og hans Hustru," "Gaa Paa!" and "Den Fremsynte" are unique of their kind, and give far truer pictures of Norwegian life and character in the rough than anything that can be found elsewhere in the literature. Indeed, Lie's skippers and mates are as superior to Kjelland's, for instance, as the peasants of Jens Tvedt (a writer, by the way, still unknown beyond his native land) are superior to the much-vaunted peasants of Bjornstjerne Bjornson. But it is when Lie tells us some of the wild legends of his native province, Nordland, some of the grim tales on which he himself was brought up, so to speak, that he is perhaps most vivid and enthralling. The folk-lore of those lonely sub-arctic tracts is in keeping with the savagery of nature. We rarely, if ever, hear of friendly elves or companionable gnomes there. The supernatural beings that haunt those shores and seas are, for the most part, malignant and malefic. They seem to hate man. They love to mock his toils, and sport with his despair. In his very first romance, "Den Fremsynte," Lie relates two of these weird tales (Nos. 1 and 3 of the present selection). Another tale, in which many of the superstitious beliefs and wild imaginings of the Nordland fishermen are skilfully grouped together to form the background of a charming love-story, entitled "Finn Blood," I have borrowed from the volume of "Fortaellinger og Skildringer," published in 1872. The re-maining eight stories are selected from the book "Trold," which was the event of the Christmas publishing season at Christiania in 1891. Last Christmas a second series of "Trold" came out, but it is distinctly inferior to the former one. TALES: THE FISHERMAN AND THE DRAUG JACK OF SJOHOLM AND THE GAN-FINN TUG OF WAR. "THE EARTH DRAWS" THE CORMORANTS OF ANDVAER ISAAC AND THE PARSON OF BRONO THE WIND-GNOME THE HULDREFISH FINN BLOOD THE HOMESTEAD WESTWARD IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS "IT'S ME."
