Laboremus

By Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson

Book Overview

Laboremus is a novel written by Bjornstjerne Bjornson, a Norwegian author and Nobel Prize winner. The book tells the story of a young man named Johannes who is struggling to find his place in the world. Johannes is a talented artist, but he is also a dreamer and a bit of a misfit. He is torn between his desire to create beautiful things and his need to make a living. As the story unfolds, Johannes meets a group of like-minded artists who are also struggling to make ends meet. Together, they form a collective called Laboremus, which means ""let us work"" in Latin. Laboremus is dedicated to creating art that is both beautiful and socially relevant. The novel explores many themes, including the struggle between art and commerce, the importance of community, and the role of art in society. It also touches on issues such as poverty, inequality, and the exploitation of workers. Overall, Laboremus is a thought-provoking and insightful novel that offers a powerful critique of the capitalist system and the way it values profit over creativity and human dignity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in art, social justice, and the human condition.THIS 66 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plays by Bjornstjerne Bjornson, by Bjornstjerne Bjornson.
