Bøger af Knut Hamsun

Victoria - et af Knut Hamsuns hovedværker - er en lille, men stor bog om kærlighed og et impressionistisk mesterværk. Møllersønnen Johannes har i mange år været forelsket i godejerdatteren Victoria. Men i Norge sidst i 1800-tallet er kærlighed mellem to børn af hver sin stand umulig. Det ved Victoria, der i lang tid ignorerer Johannes, og indvilliger i at lade sig gifte med rigmanden Otto, da hendes fader mangler penge. Johannes rejser til byen, bliver forfatter og vender hjem igen, hvor han forlover sig med Camilla. Rollerne er byttet om, nu er det Johannes, der er blevet uopnåelig for Victoria, der samtidig oplever op til flere tragedier midt i det liv, der skulle have været så fint. Victoria er sprogligt revideret af Ida Jessen.

De fleste danske læsere kender Knut Hamsun for fremragende romaner som Sult, Pan, Victoria og Markens grøde – bøger som med rette bliver fremhævet som højdepunkter i skandinavisk litteratur. Men en stor og vigtig del af Hamsuns forfatterskab er desværre næsten gået i glemmebogen; nemlig de helt vidunderlige noveller og essays, som løbende blev udgivet gennem forfatterskabet. Det råder Turbine nu bod på med denne klassikerudgivelse. Knut Hamsun er den dag i dag hyldet for sin næsten hektiske og naturalistiske stil, som især kendes fra hovedværket Sult. Det er denne stil, som også flere af novellerne udmærker sig ved, og juvelen i novelle-kronen er den livlige og rørende Dronningen af Saba, om en ung mand, som genser sin ungdoms tabte kærlighed på toget fra København til Kalmar. Hun forsvinder for ham i perronens mylder, men han indlogerer sig på et hotel og søger, næsten som i en feber, den unge kvinde i Kalmars gader … for til sidst at finde hende spadserende i en park med sin mand. Hamsuns noveller er fulde af dybe personbeskrivelser, besynderlige situationer og et sprog så gnistrende levende, at man næsten kan høre det udtalt for sit indre øre. Dronningen af Saba og andre noveller af Knut Hamsun er vigtig, nordisk litteratur, sprogligt opdateret og klar til at finde nye læsere.

Den lille roman Under høststjernen fra 1906 er første bind i Hamsuns såkaldte vandrertrilogi. Dens jegfortæller bærer Hamsuns rigtige navn, nemlig Knut Pedersen. Det er en af Hamsuns fineste bøger, fortalt med vemod og vid og selvironi, poetisk og fuld af fortryllelse.Pedersen er en midaldrende digter der stikker af fra byen og den moderne tid for at lede efter et mere enkelt liv. Han vandrer omkring på landet hvor han finder arbejde på tilfældige gårde, før han igen drager videre. Han er en drømmer med et åbent sind der suger til sig af indtryk fra mennesker og natur, og han forelsker sig først i frøkenen på den ene gård, så i fruen på den næste.Romanens lavmælte stil er præget af længsel og melankoli over den forsvundne ungdom, men er samtidig fuld af intense naturskildringer, underfundig humor og skarpe psykologiske portrætter.Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) fik i 1920 Nobelprisen i litteratur.

Pan udkom første 1894 og er blevet betegnet som en digterisk triumf for Knut Hamsun. Det er beretningen om løjtnant Thomas Glahn og hans forhold til to kvinder; den hengivne Eva og den solbrune, lunefulde Edvarda.

Growth of the Soil, Knut Hamsun's Nobel Prize winning novel, is an abiding classic of Scandinavian literature.At the time it was published, the literary world was in the throes of shifting to a modernist style. Popular novels were set in the contemporary present, with technological and societal advancements forming part of the narrative backdrop. Growth of the Soil openly displays the conflicts between the old traditions of agrarian society, and the ever-mounting wonders and conveniences offered by modern society. The farmer Isak scarcely acknowledges the values of modern living. Illiterate but capable of carrying out the business of running a farm, he has physical strength and works with his hands. Although initially amazed by Isak's prowess - his wife Inger, who came into contact with modern society when imprisoned for killing her infant due to its birth defect, return to the home much less impressed by the country life.

A grand, sweeping saga of sacrifice and struggle by a Nobel Laureate, this tale recaptures the world of Norwegian homesteaders at the turn of the 20th century.

I den lille bygd oppe i det nordlandske træffer vi sværmeren, telegrafisten Rolandsen, og de mennesker, der omgiver ham; bl.a. handelsmanden Mack og hans datter, præsten, orgeltræderen og den unge præstefrue. Det er en roman fuld af lyse sommernætter, serenader, branderter og godmodige originaler.

Victoria is an incisive study of the coercive power of economic and social forces that is also renowned for its innovative and psychologically probing narrative techniques.

I Knut Hamsuns skuespil ”Livet i vold” møder vi den tidligere varietésangerinde Juliane Gihle, der er gift med en meget ældre og meget rig mand. Juliane har imidlertid ikke meget kærlighed til overs for ham, og da den yngre og charmerende Alexander Blumenschøn gør tilnærmelser til hende, formår hun ikke at modstå ham. Det kommer den unge kvinde imidlertid til at fortryde.”Livet i vold” udkom i 1910 og blev opført samme år på Nationalteatret i Norge. Stykket blev så stor en succes, at det kort efter blev opført på teatre i både Tyskland og Rusland.Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) var en af Norges største forfattere.

Oslo i 1890’erne er skueplads for en selvtilfreds og overfladisk kreds af kunstnere, som samler sig om digteren Irgens, der er kredsens førende stemme. Forretningsmændene Tidemand og Henriksen står med deres høje moral og arbejdsiver som modstykker til kunstnernes dekadence, og det er blandt dette meget modsætningsfulde persongalleri, at to vidt forskellige kærlighedshistorier kommer til at udspille sig.”Ny jord” er en kunstnerroman, der med poetisk og malerisk sprog viser os det gamle Oslo, dengang byen endnu hed Kristiania. Bogen udkom første gang i 1893, og Knut Hamsun regnede den for en af sine bedste bøger.Denne udgave er fra 1893, og teksten er ikke blevet redigeret eller moderniseret.Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) var en af Norges største forfattere.

Between "Hunger" and "Growth of the Soil" lies the time generally allotted to a generation, but at first glance the two books seem much farther apart. One expresses the passionate revolt of a homeless wanderer against the conventional routine of modern life. The other celebrates a root-fast existence bounded in every direction by monotonous chores. The issuance of two such books from the same pen suggests to the superficial view a complete reversal of position. The truth, however, is that Hamsun stands today where he has always stood. His objective is the same. If he has changed, it is only in the intensity of his feeling and the mode of his attack. What, above all, he hates and combats is the artificial uselessness of existence which to him has become embodied in the life of the city as opposed to that of the country.

I have gone to the forest. Not because I am offended about anything, or very unhappy about men's evil ways; but since the forest will not come to me, I must go to it. That is all. I have not gone this time as a slave and a vagabond. I have money enough and am overfed, stupefied with success and good fortune, if you understand that. I have left the world as a sultan leaves rich food and harems and flowers, and clothes himself in a hair shirt.

Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920 "for his monumental work, Growth of the Soil a grand, sweeping saga of sacrifice and struggle. This epic tale recaptures the world of Norwegian homesteaders at the turn of the 20th century. Rich in symbolism, it continues to resonate with modern readers." He insisted that the intricacies of the human mind ought to be the main object of modern literature, to describe the "whisper of the blood, and the pleading of the bone marrow". Hamsun pursued his literary program, debuting in 1890 with the psychological novel Hunger.
