"Victoria" by Knut Hamsun is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Johannes, the Miller's son, as he grows up, navigates adolescent dreams, and grapples with his feelings for Victoria, the daughter of the wealthy Castle family. The narrative explores themes of love, ambition, and the social divides between their respective classes. The opening portion introduces us to Johannes as a thoughtful young boy filled with grand aspirations, from becoming a diver to rescuing Princesses. He is depicted interacting with the mystical nature around him, such as talking to birds and caring for trees, before being summoned by his father to ferry the Castle children to a nearby island. Here, he encounters Victoria, a younger girl who captures his attention. As he attends to the other's whims and wishes, he grapples with his own longing for connection. The initial scenes set the stage for a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the sweetness of innocence contrasted against the complexities of adulthood and social stratification. The early dynamic foreshadows a deeper narrative as Johannes matures, and their fates intertwine across the backdrop of class and personal ambition.
