Dei svarte hestane
Les chevaux noirs, The Black Horses
From Ambrose’s first marriage — a man of nature and a passionate lover of horses — came a daughter, Viv, and a son, Leiv. From his second marriage, to Lisl, he had a young daughter, Mabb, and a son, Kjell. All would have been well in this kingdom of horses if Leiv were not a hardened and unlucky young man, and above all, if Lisl loved her husband... Soon, Ambrose succumbs to alcoholism, squandering what he owns until he becomes a mere employee on his own former estate. Under the sign of this irresistible decline, which shocks the magnificent rural scenes steeped in a deep familiarity with the land, Tarjei Vesaas here transforms the Edenic narrative into its fatal opposite: the tragedy of the fall.
