Pelle Erövraren. 1 by Martin Andersen Nexø

A young Swedish boy who emigrates with his father to Denmark endures poverty, harsh labor and social humiliation as he grows from a timid child into a spirited youth; through farm and town work, small joys and brutal lessons, he forms friendships, discovers injustices around him and nourishes quiet ambitions and a sense of solidarity that set him on a path toward self-respect and political awakening.
