Terje Vigen is the best known narrative poem from the hand of Henrik Ibsen, written in 1865. It is set during The Napoleonic Wars and tells the story of a fisherman trying to break the British blocade of 1809, rowing all the way to Denmark to feed his starving family. The Britons spot him, capture him and keeps him for five years in prison, until he is sent home in 1814. By this time his family is long dead, and Terje lives his life alone as a pilot.Several years later, Terje rescues a British yacht, and recognizes the nobleman as the young seacaptain who captured him. Vengeance nears, but Terje wavers when he finds that the daughter of the Brit is also named Anna, like his own dead daughter. Because of this, he lets them live, but the British lord gets a taste of what he led Terje through. In the end, all reconcile, and Terje gets his peace and happiness back.This poem was reckoned somewhat a national treasure, and was obligatory to all Norwegian school children for many years. Full text in English is to be read here:.The poem has also adapted into a film in 1917 by the Swedish director Victor Sjöström. The film, which was the most expensive Swedish film at that time, proved to be influential in itself as it is often credited as the start of the Golden Age of Swedish Cinema. propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }); The poem contains the following tropes:
