"Norse Tales and Sketches" by Alexander Lange Kielland is a collection of short stories that likely blend realism and satire to explore human nature and Norse society in the late 1800s. The collection starts with a lively dinner party in Paris hosted by Senhor de Silvis, where a group of different people enjoy themselves, while a quiet Irish musician draws interest. As the party goes on, the musician's music changes from happy to disturbing, leaving the guests feeling uneasy and hinting at the complicated themes that the rest of the stories will explore.
