Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Ragna" by Anna Miller Costantini is a novel written in the early 20th century. This coming-of-age tale follows Ragna Andersen, a spirited young girl defined by her adventurous nature and dreams of grandeur as she transitions from a wild childhood in Norway to a more refined life in Paris. The narrative delves into themes of self-discovery, romance, and the challenges of growing up while facing societal expectations. At the start of the story, we meet Ragna, a vibrant child who thrives in the rugged beauty of her Norwegian home, engaging in daring exploits that reflect the adventurous spirit of her Viking ancestors. Desiring more than domestic life, her love for adventure and literature ignites when her father sends her to a convent school in Paris. There, Ragna forms close friendships, experiences the constraints of convent life, and eventually meets Prince Mirko during a ship journey home. Their brief yet passionate encounters catalyze a transformation in Ragna's understanding of love and desire, marking her awakening to life's complexities as she grapples with her newfound identity amidst a backdrop of romantic intrigue and familial expectations.
