  • The Master of Hestviken is a tetralogy about medieval Norway written by Sigrid Undset. It was originally published in Norwegian as two volumes Olav Audunssøn i Hestviken and Olav Audunssøn og Hans Børn, from 1925 to 1927. Hestviken is a fictional mediaeval farm on the East side of the Oslo fjord. The series is set partly during the Civil war era in Norway, in which period the Bagler faction frequently established themselves in the nearby Viken area. It's inspired by the summer cottages located in Hvitsten, near Drobak. In the 1920s, Sigrid Undset resided there for a brief period. Written in the direct aftermath of Undset's conversion to the Catholic Church, the tetralogy presents in a clearly favorable light the Medieval Church with its institutions and rituals; the saintly Bishop Thorfinn of Hamar as well as nearly all priests and monks appearing in the four books are positive characters. The series' central theme is also preeminently Catholic: the tragedy of Olav, a deeply pious and upright man, who feels himself damned and cut off from God because of his unconfessed sin - having secretly killed his wife's lover. Yet he cannot bring himself to confess that deed, as doing so would expose his beloved wife's infidelity and destroy her good name, as well as exposing the illegitimacy of her son. Commentator Margaret Wide noted that "A modern reader is likely to feel that Olav judges himself far more harshly than he deserves - and it can be surmised that so would have a reader of Olav's own time. And surely a God as merciful as Christianity conceives Him to be would forgive Olav for a sin committed for the most understandable and honorable of motives, and expiated many times over". (en)
  • Olaf, syn Auduna (norw. Olav Audunssøn i Hestviken) – dwutomowa powieść Sigrid Undset, norweskiej pisarki, laureatki literackiej Nagrody Nobla, wydana w latach 1925-1927. Składa się z dwóch części, Olaf, syn Auduna na Hestwiken oraz Olaf, syn Auduna i jego dzieci. Rodzinny majątek Olafa, Hestviken, leży w Follo, po wschodniej stronie Oslofjorden. Undset opisała to miejsce opierając się o topografię i nazwy lokalne występujące w tej okolicy. Powieść ukazała się po raz pierwszy w Polsce w latach 1937-1938 w tłumaczeniu Wandy Kragen. Razem z Krystyną, córką Lavransa powieść o Olafie była podstawą przyznania Undset literackiej Nagrody Nobla w 1928 roku, którą otrzymała za ,,niezapomniany opis skandynawskiego średniowiecza''. (pl)
