<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Back in print after 70 years, this edition features an afterword by Sverre Lyngstad.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Originally published in English in 1930, <i>Sinners in Summertime</i> takes a satirical look at sex, psychoanalysis, and the arrogance of youth. A group of students spend the summer along the Norwegian coast, determined to be honest about the nature of sex, in order to avoid the self-delusions they feel have plagued previous generations. What follows is a complete undermining of all their enlightened values, as they find themselves ensnared by romantic mischief. A novel of manners in an era when standards where about to break down, Sinners exposes the folly of youthful intellectualism, while also demonstrating the connections that bind all generations.</p><p><b>Sigurd Hoel</b> was one of the leading literary and cultural voices of Norway in the first half of the twentieth century.</p>
