This novel follows the life and inner world of Martha Grüner, a young woman living in late nineteenth century Denmark. The language reflects the formal and descriptive style of the era, featuring long, complex sentences and a rich, somewhat dated vocabulary. Readers will encounter detailed character portraits and introspective themes concerning identity and affection. It is a demanding read for learners due to the intricate sentence structures and the specific cultural references, but it offers a profound look into historical social dynamics.

Questions about this book
What level of Danish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 58 min at a native pace, spread over 2 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
