Summary "Arbeiders: Roman" by Alexander Lange Kielland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in Christiania (now Oslo) during a sweltering summer, highlighting the struggles of various characters against the backdrop of social tension and issues related to labor rights. Notably, it introduces characters such as Mortensen and Örseth, who navigate their roles within a bureaucratic and oppressive society while responding to changing social dynamics. The opening of the story paints a vivid picture of the oppressive summer heat in Christiania, setting a tense atmosphere reflective of the city’s social struggles. We follow several clerks as they complain about the sweltering conditions, showcasing their mundane bureaucratic work life. Conversations between Mortensen and Örseth reveal concerns about rising labor unrest and contentious discussions around workers' rights, encapsulating the growing discontent among the working class. The atmosphere is permeated with a sense of urgency and frustration, as these characters engage with the tensions that lie beneath their daily routines. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
