Summary
Two classic Norwegian short stories about those who for different reasons never reached an open sea. One story overwhelms you with colorful humor, the other with tender sadness.

The writers are Alexander Kielland (1849-1906) and Amalie Skram (1846–1905), both considered among Norway’s greatest nineteenth century authors.

1. A Tale of The Sea , by Alexander Kielland
2. Karen’s Christmas, by Amalie Skram.

The narrator is Michael Henrik Wynn, editor of the educational netradio stream Historyradio.org. He also translated the second story.
