Bøger af Knut Hamsun

First-English translation of Editor Lyngel by Nobel Prize recipient Knut Hamsun.

En bonde vandrer i sidste halvdel af 1800-tallet rundt i den norske ødemark på jagt efter et egnet sted at slå sig ned og opdyrke jorden. Isak hedder manden, og han finder til slut et egnet sted. De næste år går med uophørligt hårdt arbejde med skovfældning, opdyrkning af de ryddede lodder og opførsel af en primitiv hytte. Et par år efter flytter en kvinde Inger ind hos Isak. Hendes ansigt er vansiret af et hareskår, men hun er stærk, arbejdsom og frugtbar, og familien vokser.Markens grøde er en bonderoman, der foregår i et lille isoleret samfund i tæt pagt med naturen langt fra byens civilisation. I en episk fortælling følger vi udviklingen over to generationer, hvor Isak sammen med Inger og sønnerne langsomt og arbejdsomt udvikler sig til storbonde.Handlingen er medrivende, idet opdyrkningen og familien undervejs rammes af flere truende kriser. Historien er fortalt enkelt og sindigt i overensstemmelse med personernes liv og karakter. Arbejdet og det simple liv i tæt forbindelse med og i respekt for naturen hyldes. Samtidig skildres også med en vis fascination den tekniske udvikling, som familien fremsynet tilslutter sig over de to generationer.Markens grøde (1917) er en storslået, norsk slægtsroman, og det var især med henvisning til denne roman, at Hamsun i 1920 blev tildelt nobelprisen i litteratur. Romanen blev omgående en international bestseller og fik fremragende omtale af mange af tidens største forfattere."Vidunderlig, helt fantastisk bog!" – Thomas Mann"Jeg vil anbefale dig at læse Markens grøde af Knut Hamsun. En særdeles god bog som jeg lige har læst." – Ernest Hemingway, i brev fra Schweiz til F. Scott Fitzgerald i Paris"Man skal ikke undervurdere Eleseus, han kunne meget vel udvikle sig til at blive hovedpersonen i hele historien, i Hamsuns yngre dage tror jeg netop, det ville ske." – Franz Kafka, i sin dagbog, da han var i færd med at læse Markens grøde"Denne bog imponerer mig som en af de allerbedste romaner, jeg nogensinde har læst. Den er helt igennem smuk; mættet med visdom og humor og ømhed." – H.G. Wells"Markens grøde var en verdenssensation … næsten lige fra udgivelsesdagen gik der rygter om, at Hamsun ville modtage nobelprisen … Singer medgav, at han var ‘hypnotiseret’ af ham; Hesse kaldte ham sin favoritforfatter; Hemingway anbefalede hans romaner til F. Scott Fitzgerald; Gide sammenlignede ham med Dostojevskij, men vurderede, at Hamsun var ‘måske endnu mere raffineret.’ Listen med dem, der elskede hans listige, anarkistiske stemme er lang." – The New Yorker "Han ligger og våger over alt, sørger for alt, så ømt bekymret for det mindste i sproget, han følger hver lille bisætning med utrættelig kærlighed, leger og pusler med den, løfter den op som en myre på en træpind, ler og godter sig, sætter den ned og lader den løbe videre! Hans øjne standser ved en kvist dernede, 'der ligger nu denne kvist!' siger han og stryger den over barken." – Nordahl GriegKnut Hamsun, pseudonym for Knud Pedersen (1859-1952), var en norsk romanforfatter, dramatiker og digter, født i Lom i Gudbrandsdalen i Norge. I 1920 modtog han efter udgivelsen af den store bonderoman Markens grøde nobelprisen i litteratur. Hamsuns forfatterskab var nyskabende. Han brød med den socialrealistiske roman og introducerede i stedet en psykologisk digtning, der centrerede sig om personernes tanker og følelser og det irrationelt underbevidste i en impulsiv lyrisk stil. En skrivestil, der inspirerede mange af de senere store forfattere.

Wanderers is a novel written by Knut Hamsun, originally published in 1904. The story is set in Norway and follows the life of a young woman named Dagny Juel, who is a talented artist and writer. Dagny is a free spirit, and she spends her days wandering through the countryside, observing nature and people around her. She is also deeply introspective and spends a lot of time reflecting on her own thoughts and feelings.As the story progresses, Dagny meets a variety of people on her travels, including artists, writers, and other free spirits. She forms deep connections with some of them, while others she finds frustrating or disappointing. Throughout it all, Dagny remains true to herself, following her own path and refusing to be constrained by society's expectations.Wanderers is a beautifully written novel that explores themes of freedom, creativity, and individuality. Hamsun's prose is lyrical and poetic, and he has a keen eye for the natural world. The novel is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the face of societal pressure and expectations.It has always been a pleasure to me to watch the flowers and insects in their struggle to keep alive. When the sun was hot they would come to life again, and give themselves up for an hour or so to the old delight; the big, strong flies were just as much alive as in midsummer. There was a peculiar sort of earth-bug here that I had not seen before--little yellow things, no bigger than a small-type comma, yet they could jump several thousand times their own length. Think of the strength of such a body in proportion to its size! There is a tiny spider here with its hinder part like a pale yellow pearl.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

I was hungry--very hungry. The ten shillings had, worse luck, lasted all too short. It was now two, ay, nearly three days since I had eaten anything, and I felt somewhat faint; holding the pencil even had taxed me a little. I had half a penknife and a bunch of keys in my pocket, but not a farthing.

A faint, golden, metallic rim appears in the east where the sun is rising. The city is beginning to stir; already can be heard an occasional distant rumble of trucks rolling into the streets from the country, large farm-wagons heavily loaded with supplies for the markets-with hay and meat and cordwood. And these wagons make more noise than usual because the pavements are still brittle from nightly frosts. It is the latter part of March. Everything is quiet around the harbour. Here and there a sleepy sailor tumbles out of a forecastle; smoke is curling from the galleys. A skipper puts his head out of a companionway and sniffs toward the weather; the sea stretches in undisturbed calm; all the winches are at rest. The first wharf gate is thrown open. Through it one catches a glimpse of sacks and cases piled high, of cans and barrels; men with ropes and wheelbarrows are moving around, still half asleep, yawning openly with angular, bearded jaws. And barges are warped in alongside the docks; another army begins the hoisting and stowing of goods, the loading of wagons, and the moving of freight. In the streets one door after another is opened; blinds are raised, office-boys are sweeping floors and dusting counters. In the H. Henriksen office the son is sitting at a desk, all alone; he is sorting mail. A young gentleman is strolling, tired and sleepy, toward the railway square; he comes from a late party given in some comrade's den and is taking the morning air. At Fire Headquarters he runs across an acquaintance who has also been celebrating.

An autobiographical element is evident in practically everything that Hamsun has written. But it is particularly marked in the two volumes now published under the common title of "Wanderers," as well as in the sequel named "The Last Joy." These three works must be considered together. They have more in common than the central figure of "Knut Pedersen from the Northlands" through whose vision the fates of Captain Falkenberg and his wife are gradually unfolded to us. Not only do they refer undisguisedly to events known to be taken out of Hamsun's own life, but they mirror his moods and thoughts and feelings during a certain period so closely that they may well be regarded as diaries of an unusually intimate character. It is as psychological documents of the utmost importance to the understanding of Hamsun himself that they have their chief significance. As a by-product, one might almost say, the reader gets the art which reveals the story of the Falkenbergs by a process of indirect approach equalled in its ingenuity and verisimilitude only by Conrad's best efforts. The line of Hamsun's artistic evolution is easily traceable through certain stages which, however, are not separated by sharp breaks. It is impossible to say that one stage ended and the next one began in a certain year. Instead they overlap like tiles on a roof. Their respective characters are strikingly symbolized by the titles of the dramatic trilogy which Hamsun produced between 1895 and 1898-"At the Gate of the Kingdom," "The Game of Life," and "Sunset Glow." "Hunger" opened the first period and "Pan" marked its climax, but it came to an end only with the eight-act drama of "Vendt the Monk" in 1902, and traces of it are to be found in everything that Hamsun ever wrote. Lieutenant Glahn might survive the passions and defiances of his youth and lapse into the more or less wistful resignation of Knut Pedersen from the Northlands, but the cautious, puzzled Knut has moments when he shows not only the Glahn limp but the Glahn fire. Just when the second stage found clear expression is a little hard to tell, but its most characteristic products are undoubtedly the two volumes now offered to the American public, and it persists more or less until 1912, when "The Last Joy" appeared, although the first signs of Hamsun's final and greatest development showed themselves as early as 1904, when "Dreamers" was published. The difference between the second and the third stages lies chiefly in a maturity and tolerance of vision that restores the narrator's sense of humour and eliminates his own personality from the story he has to tell.

Geschrieben von mir, geschrieben heute, um mein Herz zu erleichtern. Ich habe meine Stellung im Café verloren und meine frohen Tage. Ein junger Herr in grauem Anzug kam Abend für Abend mit zwei Freunden und setzte sich an einen meiner Tische. Es kamen so viele Herren und alle hatten ein freundliches Wort für mich, nur er nicht. Er war groß und schlank, hatte weiches, schwarzes Haar und blaue Augen, mit denen er mich zuweilen streifte, und einen Anflug von Bart auf der Oberlippe.

I didn't like him; his eyes were fawning and rested on the ground. He thought of nothing but land; he was land-greedy, like an animal that sought to escape its padlock. The other cotter had bought a slightly larger piece of land than he, a marsh that would feed one cow more; but he himself had only got this bit of a field. Still, this would amount to something, too, as long as he kept his health to work it.

When Knut Hamsun won the Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1920, it was mostly because of this 1917 novel (Growth of the Soil), an epic vision of peasant life in Norway's backcountry. The saga of Isak and Inger (born with a harelip) and their hard times is by turns affecting and ponderous; the somewhat overheated first-person narrators of Hamsun's extraordinary early novels-"Hunger" and "Pan"-are replaced by a stately, almost distant third person. Yet Hamsun's eye and ear were still sharp; even his trees have special qualities ("Everybody knows that aspens can have an unpleasant, bullying way of rustling"). One of the greatest novels ever written, Growth of the Soil was described by H. G. Wells as "wholly beautiful; it is saturated with wisdom and humor and tenderness." The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun.
