Lykke Per Bind 1 by Henrik Pontoppidan
A young man raised in a strict, pietistic coastal community breaks with his father's narrow expectations and sets out to study engineering, driven by a fervent belief in progress and his own capacity to remake his life. The first volume follows his upbringing and early years: clashes with family and local piety, budding intellectual and emotional awakenings, tentative relationships, and the mounting tension between religious tradition and modern ambition that propels his restless pursuit of social success and personal fulfilment.
