Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Alexander Lange Kielland (18 February 1849 - 6 April 1906) was one of the most famous Norwegian realistic writers of the 19th century. He is one of the so-called "The Four Greats" in Norwegian literature, along with Henrik Ibsen, Bj rnstjerne Bj rnson and Jonas Lie. Born in Stavanger, Norway, he grew up in a rich merchant family. He was the son of Consul Jens Zetlitz Kielland and great-grandson of Gabriel Schanche Kielland (1760-1821). Kielland was the younger brother of Norwegian landscape painter Kitty Lange Kielland, and their mutual interactions were important to shaping both as artists.
