Bør Børson Jr.

Johan Falkberget
This is an exceptionally funny folk comedy, which was immortalized in the Faroe Islands by Marius Johannesen, when he translated it and read it on national radio in the 1960s.

Bør Børson is intent on achieving much in life. He plans on going where no one has gone before and sets himself different goals than most people in town. Everyone is ready to mock him, should he fail. He is naïve and tries to mingle with the finer crowd, but he is a decent fellow with the same flaws as everyone else.

He opens a shop and it does not go too well. It is a long haul. His debt is growing. He is compelled to embezzle money. He gets rejected when courting, suffers from unreciprocated love, but recovers with some luck and serendipity.

He mingles with the upper crust in Tróndheim. They see right through the villager. At his lowest, he gets conned one night while drunk by some stock market speculators. He believes himself to have gone bankrupt, his life’s work in ruins, but thanks to a spelling error, he becomes a multi-millionaire. He travels back to Olderstað, affluent, and gets engaged to his first and greatest love.
