Acerca deste libro electrónico
Novel from the late 19th and early 20th century Norwegian author who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920. Hamsun was a leading Norwegian author who saw humankind and nature united in a strong, sometimes mystical bond. This connection between the characters and their natural environment is exemplified in the novels Pan, and the epic Growth of the Soil, for which Hamsun received the Nobel Prize in literature in 1920.
Acerca do autor
Knut Hamsun, born Knud Pedersen in 1859 in rural Norway, is a towering figure in modernist literature, renowned for his innovative narrative techniques and psychological depth. Hamsun's early life was marked by hardship and wanderlust, experiences that profoundly shaped his literary voice. He spent years in America, working various odd jobs, which provided rich material for his later works.Hamsun's breakthrough came with "Hunger" (1890), a novel that delves into the psyche of a starving writer, showcasing his pioneering use of stream-of-consciousness and interior monologue. This novel, along with "Mysteries" (1892) and "Pan" (1894), established him as a master of psychological realism and a precursor to later existentialist writers.Hamsun's influence extended to luminaries such as Franz Kafka, Ernest Hemingway, and Thomas Mann, who admired his ability to capture the complexities of the human condition. His works often explore themes of nature, isolation, and the individual's struggle against societal norms, resonating with contemporary readers who grapple with similar issues.However, Hamsun's legacy is marred by his controversial political views. During World War II, he expressed support for Nazi Germany, a stance that led to his post-war arrest and trial for treason. This aspect of his life continues to spark debate, challenging readers to reconcile his literary genius with his flawed human character.Despite the controversies, Hamsun's contributions to literature are undeniable. His revolutionary ideas about narrative structure and character psychology paved the way for modernist and postmodernist writers, ensuring his place in the pantheon of literary greats.
