Summary "Niobe: Nykyajan romaani" by Jonas Lie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the complexities of familial relationships and the struggles of individual aspirations against traditional expectations. It centers around the lives of the Baarvig family, particularly the tensions involving their son Endre, who wishes to pursue a career in the arts, rather than conforming to more conventional professions. The opening of the novel sets the stage in a tense domestic atmosphere where Dr. Baarvig expresses his vehement opposition to his son Endre's artistic ambitions. As he confronts his wife, Bente, about their son's aspirations to become a singer, a heated debate unfolds, illuminating the generational and ideological conflicts within the family. The discussion reveals the pressures faced by Endre, who seeks to explore his passions in a society that values more traditional roles and professions. Through vivid dialogue, the dynamic between the parents and their children's aspirations is poignantly established, suggesting deeper themes of conformity, artistic expression, and parental expectations that are likely to be explored throughout the narrative.
