Summary "Jenny" by Sigrid Undset is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Helge Gram, a young man who has just arrived in Rome, where he navigates the bustling city while grappling with his aspirations and emotional turmoil. As he encounters various characters, including the captivating Jenny Winge, the novel explores themes of desire, identity, and the contrast between dreams and reality. The opening of the book sets the stage as Helge walks through the streets of Rome, taking in the vibrant atmosphere around him with a mix of excitement and apprehension. He reflects on the city's beauty and his idealized expectations of it, yet struggles with a sense of loneliness. As he interacts with other characters, including two Norwegian girls, one of whom is Jenny, his initial hesitation begins to fade, sparking the potential for adventure and connection. The narrative captures Helge's inner thoughts and perceptions, framing his journey in both a physical and emotional landscape that promises deeper exploration as the story unfolds.
