metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The Second World War was one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. It has
  profoundly changed the course of history, claiming millions of lives. Not surprisingly,
  it was depicted in the works of numerous writers and poets who sought to understand
  the causes and origins of fascism. The theme of war is one of the key themes in the
  creative heritage of the Danish-Norwegian writer Aksel Sandemose (1899–1965).
  Throughout all his literary career, he was trying to understand the irrational behaviour
  of people and was passionately willing to find out the structure of the society that brings
  up murderers. In his understanding, Nazi Germany was an extreme example of evil,
  aggression and stupidity that he blamed in the description of the city of Jante in the
  novel “A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks” (“En flyktning krysser sitt spor”, 1933). In the
  novel “The Past is a Dream” (“Det svundne er en drøm”, 1944), the writer continues to
  develop this theme that penetrates all his works. The writer unconditionally denounces
  fascism in it; the relations between the people are presented in the novel through the
  prism of wartime. The theme of people’s choice when they are acting under pressure of
  certain circumstances and are placed in specific historical framework is of great interest,
  since A. Sandemose has his own view on the events. This novel is more optimistic
  than any other opus of other Norwegian authors devoted to these dramatic events.
  According to the point of view of the writer, individualism, disunity and indifference
  lead humanity to war and strife. Portraying a whole gallery of characters which are far
  from being ideal and full of all kinds of shortcomings, the writer draws attention to the
  fact that all of them, excepting only one person, live and act true to their conscience.
  The author emphasizes that during the Nazi occupation, people understood that not
  everything can be bought for money. Things such as honour, courage, and love for
  native land could not be sold.
