Buy books by Oskar Braaten

He published seven novels between 1917 and 1925. Braaten was able to provide vivid and richly nuanced images of working-class life on the east side of Oslo during a historical period of industrialisation. Criticism of injustice and inequality arises, but there is relatively little political tendency in his literary works.
