OC I have been unfaithful to my husband.OCO "Marta Oulie"OCOs opening line scandalized Norwegian readers in 1907. And yet, Sigrid Undset had a gift for depicting modern women OC sympathetically but with merciless truthfulness, OCO as the Swedish Academy noted in awarding her the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928. At the time she was one of the youngest recipients and only the third woman so honored. It was UndsetOCOs honest story of a young womanOCOs love lifeOCoOC the immoral kind, OCO as she herself bluntly put itOCothat made her first novel an instant sensation in Norway. "Marta Oulie," written in the form of a diary, intimately documents the inner life of a young woman disappointed and constrained by the conventions of marriage as she longs for an all-consuming passion. Set in Kristiania (now Oslo) at the beginning of the twentieth century, UndsetOCOs book is an incomparable psychological portrait of a woman whose destiny is defined by the changing mores of her dayOCoas she descends, inevitably, into an ever-darker reckoning. Remarkably, though UndsetOCOs other works have attracted generations of readers, "Marta Oulie "has never before appeared in English translation. Tiina Nunnally, whose award-winning translation of UndsetOCOs "Kristin Lavransdatter" captured the authorOCOs beautifully clear style, conveys the voice of Marta Oulie with all the stark poignancy of the original Norwegian.

One night José Antonio Maria Vaz hears gunfire from the deserted theatre next door to his bakery. He races to the theatre's uppermost gallery, and there beneath him on a spotlit stage lies the wounded body of Nelio, a street urchin renowned for living on his wits. Gasping, the wounded boy asks to be taken to the roof to breathe the beautiful air fresh off the Indian Ocean. On that theatre roof, his life ebbing away, Nelio begins his story. At the age of five, Nelio watched helplessly as his village was burned to the ground and his people were massacred by bandits. He escaped by chance; a man handed him a gun and ordered him to shoot another boy, but instead he turned the gun on the bandit and ran. He made his way to the coast, encountering en route bizarre characters who gave him guidance. Upon arrival in the city Nelio joined a rough street gang, and began a very different way of life.
