The Power of a Lie is a novel written by Norwegian author Johan Bojer and first published in 1909. The story takes place in a small Norwegian village, where a young woman named Margit Holman is forced to marry a wealthy man she does not love in order to save her family from financial ruin. However, Margit soon realizes that her husband is cruel and abusive, and she finds solace in the arms of another man, a poor artist named Arnold Holm.As Margit's affair with Arnold becomes public knowledge, the villagers turn against her, and she is ostracized and shunned. Margit's husband, determined to maintain his reputation and control over his wife, spreads a lie that Margit is insane and should be locked up in an asylum. The lie takes hold, and Margit is eventually committed to a mental institution, where she suffers greatly.The Power of a Lie explores themes of love, betrayal, and the power of societal expectations. Bojer's writing is known for its realism and psychological depth, and this novel is no exception. The book is a powerful commentary on the ways in which lies can be used to control and manipulate individuals, and the devastating effects such lies can have on those who are targeted.Overall, The Power of a Lie is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that offers a sobering look at the darker side of human nature. It is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships and the impact of societal norms and expectations on individual lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
