Boyesen split his life between Norway and the United States, and these stories move between both worlds — Norwegian fishing villages and folk belief on one side, American immigrant life on the other — written by someone who genuinely belonged to neither culture completely and used that distance as material rather than a problem to solve.

Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen published Tales from Two Hemispheres in 1877, not long after emigrating from Norway to the United States.

Bibliomancer publishes the 1877 text exactly as Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen wrote it.
