Unlike the protagonists of those novels, however, the hero of Weary Men is treated with irony. And while it is a brilliant novel of ideas, Weary Men has endured primarily because of the acuity with which Garborg explores the roguish main character's psychological makeup.Originally published in 1891, Weary Men introduces a bachelor nearly middle age named Gabriel Gram, who suffers an existential crisis, considers suicide, but finally finds solace in a religious conversion of questionnable sincerity. Garborg depicts Gram's Kristiania (present day Oslo) in fascinating detail as Gram divides his time between male friends and \"new women,\" a new generation of Norwegian women embolded to walk freely with men in public but who continue to rebuff Gram's sexual advances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525397020960,"sku":"NEW0810116006","price":26.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/weary-men-european-classics-0810116006","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
