| Summary |
"Aave" by Henrik Pontoppidan is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around a young girl named Aune, who is a pastor's daughter, navigating the challenges of her life after the recent death of her father. As she travels in a dilapidated carriage to serve as a companion to a countess, Aune grapples with her feelings of grief, loss, and the tension between her humble origins and the aristocratic world she is entering. The opening of the novel introduces us to Aune during a dark and rainy October night as she travels through the dreary countryside in an old carriage. Reflecting on her past, Aune recalls the recent death of her father, the sorrows she has endured, and her resignation to the life that now awaits her at the estate of the countess. Despite her tumultuous emotions, there is a flicker of determination and rebellious pride within her spirit. The narrative vividly presents her thoughts and feelings as she confronts the contrast between her past and the uncertain future that lies ahead in the aristocratic environment.
