Is-slottet

Is-slottet
SC158- Literary inspiration

Tarjei Vesaas (1897-1970) war ein norwegischer Schriftsteller aus Telemark, der in Nynorsk schrieb, der zweiten offiziellen norwegischen Sprache, die von 10-15% der Norweger, vor allem in den südwestlichen Fjorden und Fjells, gesprochen wird.

Für seinen 1963 erschienenen Roman Is-slottet (Das Eis-Schloss) bekam er den Literaturpreis des Nordischen Rates.

Das Eis-Schloss ist ein gefrorener Wasserfall, in dem sich eine der Protagonistinnen, die 11jährige Unn, verläuft und erfriert.

"Wieder ein neuer Raum. Er war wirklich klein und erfüllt von vielen tropfenden Eiszapfen an der Decke, erfüllt von irgendwie vom Boden heraufwachsenden Eiszapfen, rissige Wände in vielerlei verschiedenen Neigungen, so dick, dass das grüne Licht gedämpft wurde. Nicht gedämpft war der Wasserfall, hier war sein Rauschen auf einmal ganz nah oder unten oder wo auch immer- man war irgendwie mitten darin."
