Før hanen galer

Føer hanen galer (Before the Cock Crows) is a 1952 novel by Norwegian writer Jens Bjørneboe. The novel is partly about Nazi medical experiments conducted in concentration camps.1

Jens Bjørneboe (1920–1976) was a Norwegian novelist, dramatist, essayist, and poet. His work often expressed outrage at the misuse of power in the modern world and is considered significant in postwar Norwegian literature. Bjørneboe's early novels, including Føer hanen galer, were marked by rebellious indignation, contrasting with the classical formality of his early poetry collections.1
