The rare first edition of this groundbreaking biography of Norway's most famous writer. Knut Hamsun (August 4, 1859 February 19, 1952) was a Norwegian writer, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920. Hamsun's work spans more than 70 years and shows variation with regard to the subject, perspective and environment. He published more than 20 novels, a collection of poetry, some short stories and plays, a travelogue, and some essays. The young Hamsun objected to realism and naturalism. He argued that the main object of modernist literature should be the intricacies of the human mind, that writers should describe the "whisper of blood, and the pleading of bone marrow". Hamsun is considered the "leader of the Neo-Romantic revolt at the turn of the 20th century", with works such as Hunger (1890), Mysteries (1892), Pan (1894), and Victoria (1898). His later worksin particular his "Nordland novels"were influenced by the Norwegian new realism, portraying everyday life in rural Norway and often employing local dialect, irony, and humour. Hamsun is considered to be "one of the most influential and innovative literary stylists of the past hundred years" (ca. 18901990). He pioneered psychological literature with techniques of stream of consciousness and interior monologue, and influenced authors such as Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, and Ernest Hemingway. Isaac Bashevis Singer called Hamsun "the father of the modern school of literature in his every aspecthis subjectiveness, his fragmentariness, his use of flashbacks, his lyricism. The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun". On August 4, 2009, the Knut Hamsun Centre was opened in Hamarøy. Since 1916, several of Hamsun's works have been adapted into motion pictures. (Wikipedia) Thorkild Hansen (9 January 1927 4 February 1989) was a Danish novelist known for his Slave Trilogy. He also wrote books about Knut Hamsun and volumes of travel writing. In 1971 he won the Nordic Council's Literature Prize. He is known as one of the most read novelists in Danish literature. He died prematurely during a voyage in the Caribbean. (Wikipedia) Sprache: dansk.

First English edition of the first novel in the Nobel Prize-winning authorâs âAugustâ trilogyâ"Hamsunâs magnum opus. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author in the year of publication on the front free endpaper, "Mr. B. A. Abel with thanks! Knut Hamsun Norholm 15 Mars. 1931." Near fine in the rare original dust jacket which is in very good condition. Scarce and desirable signed and inscribed. Vagabonds' first chapter is "a masterpiece" in evoking the loss of innocence and the perils of modernity (Ferguson, 290). It also introduces the trilogy's protagonist, August, one of Hamsun's most enduring figures. "What makes Hamsun more than just a good storyteller and a superb stylist are his insights into the 'almost imperceptible movements of the soul' and his sense of the mystery of life" (Wintle, New Makers). Yet controversy continues over Hamsun's role in the Nazi occupation of Norway and his meetings with Hitler and Goebbels. To his biographer, "what can be safely said of him is that he was a great writer, and his contribution to the art of writing has been enormous" (Ferguson, 422). First edition, first issue: copyright page with no statement of edition or printings; copies found with colophon or without colophon (this copy), no priority established. Copyright date of "Oct. 29, 1930" (Catalogue of Copyright Entries. New Series 1:11842).

First American edition and first in English, preceding the British edition by one year of the Nobel Prize-winning author's classic work. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author in the year of publication on the front free endpaper, "B.A. Abel from yours respectfully Knut Hamsun 12/11.31." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Translated from the Norwegian by Eugene Gay-Tifft. Books inscribed by Hamsun are rare. "Hemingway tried to write like him⦠Hesse called him, 'my favorite author'⦠and I.B. Singer stated that Hamsun was quite simply 'the father of the modern school of literature'" (Ferguson, 1). Awarded the 1920 Nobel Prize for Literature, Hamsun was "the most subversive of modernists" (Gay, Modernism, 191). "Supremely gifted in the art of precise observation⦠[his] ironic scrutiny of society and its ways is both sustained and penetrating" (Naess, ed. History of Norwegian Literature, 184). August, Hamsun's "satiric fantasy of modernity gone awry," is at the heart of a monumental trilogy that includes his 1927 novel, Landstrykere (Vagabonds, 1930), and his 1933 novel, Men livet lever (Road Leads On, 1934) (Lyndstad, Knut Hamsun, 275). "In these three novels he develops in depth one of his most memorable characters: August⦠the embodiment of all that restlessness and rootlessness which for Hamsun seemed to epitomize the inauthentic spirit of the contemporary age" (Naess, 193-4). Yet Hamsun's role during the Nazi occupation of Norway, as well as his meetings with Hitler and Goebbels, made him one of literature's most controversial figures. "The extraordinary mix, in one man, of brilliant art and repugnant politics has produced a continuing fascination with Hamsun's life and writings" (Agar, Knut Hamsun, 3).

Strindberg skrev at jeg hadde set Amerika klarere end han og andre ( i et brev til Brandes ) , men jeg selv blev lei av Boken. Da et amerikansk Forlag vilde oversætte den, sa jeg nei. Da Kønig vilde optrykke den, var jeg atter karakterfast som en Helt, og til dig vil jeg nu bare si, at skulde du nogen sinde faa fat paa et Eksemplar av denne Bok, saa læg den stille ned i den store Bunke av mine andre Synder -. ' -- Det er forståelig at Knut Hamsun ikke ville ha trykt opp igjen en bok han, ifølge egen uttalelse, syntes var «forferdende dårlig og barnaktig skrevet», som vel måtte antas å ha mistet noe av sin aktualitet som polemisk skrift, og som derfor ikke kunne dekke noe holdbart standpunkt - uten i sammenheng med hans endrede syn på Amerika. -- Men når et verk er blitt historie, når det har sin litteraturhistoriske interesse å se hele forholdet Hamsun - Amerika i sammenheng og perspektiv, da tror jeg at også Knut Hamsun ville ha godkjent en utgave som kan yte et bidrag i så henseende. «Fra det moderne Amerikas Aandsliv», hans ungdoms første kampskrift, og «Festina lente», den aldrende dikters sindige meditasjon over amerikanismen og tiden - de to skriftene utfyller hverandre. Boken og artikkelen, supplert med et forord som skal gi stoffet en rent orienterende bakgrunn, mener jeg har sin berettigelse, og forunderlig nok - aktuell interesse den dag i dag.» - Tore Hamsun i forordet. no Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Kristiania (i.e. Oslo), 1921. Both parts bound with the the original front wrappers in one contemporary brown half calf with raised bands and gilt lettering to spine. Binding solid and sturdy, but spine with some wear.A bit of light spotting to wrappers and a few scattered brown spots, but overall very nice and clean. Inserted onto the half-title of vol. one is an original visiting card from Hamsun, imprinted "KNUT HAMSUN", with a seven-line handwritten and signed inscription in Knut Hamsun's hand, for Olaf Fønss, dated "Nørholm, 27/10. 31.". Olaf Fønss' exlibris to inside of front board. A magnificent copy of the 1921-edition (printed shortly after he won the Nobel Prize) of Hamsun?s mature magnum opus ?Growth of the Soil? - one of the greatest classics of the 20th century and the work that earned Hamsun the Nobel Prize (1920) - the great actor Olaf Fønss? copy, with a handwritten visiting card from Hamsun to Olaf Fønns. The handwritten text (in Norwegian) on the card reads ?Hr. Olaf Fønss, Tusen Tak for / Boken! Igjen like viril! Graanet, erfaren, / kanske ogsaa slitt paa, men like lys og like / ukuet. / Med Hilsen fra min Kone og / Deres / Knut Hamsun. / Nørholm, 27/10 31.? (I.e. Mr. Olaf Fønss / a thousand thank yous / for the book! Again, just as virile! Greying, experienced, / perhaps also worn, but just as bright and just as / indomitable / With greetings from my wife and / your / Knut Hamsun / Nørholm, 27/10. 31.? Olaf Holger Axel Fønss (1882-1949) was one of the greatest actors of the era, one of the biggest silent film stars of Denmark and Germany. Apart from being an actor and a top matinee idol, he was also a writer, director, producer, and film censor. Although we have not been able to determine it for sure, it is very likely that Fønns will have played Hamsun characters on the stage at some point, perhaps also Isak Sellenrå, the main character of ?Growth of the Soils? At least, the present copy of the work would suggest so. ?Growth of the Soil? is one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, and it profoundly shaped the way of modern literature. It is widely regarded as one of the best books of the 20th century. Thomas Mann called it ?a wonderful, extraordinary book?" Heminway wrote about the book, from Switzerland, to Fitzgerald in Paris, recommending him to read is, as it was so good André Gide (as many others before and after) compared Hamsun to Dostojevsky, but commented that he was more refined Singer was hypnotized by him Knausgård considers the work hypnotizing" Kafka was utterly fascinated, H.G. Wells was thoroughly impressed and called it one of the best novels he had ever read, describing it as beautiful through and through, etc., etc. ?One of the most important and controversial writers of the 20th century. Hamsun influenced many of the major 20th-century writers who followed him, including Kafka, Joyce and Henry Miller." (George Egerton). Hamsun is considered "one of the most influential and innovative literary stylists of the past hundred years" (i.e. 1890?1990) (Robert Ferguson). He pioneered psychological literature with techniques of stream of consciousness and interior monologue, and influenced authors such as Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, John Fante, James Kelman, Charles Bukowski, and Ernest Hemingway. Isaac Bashevis Singer called Hamsun "the father of the modern school of literature in his every aspect?his subjectiveness, his fragmentariness, his use of flashbacks, his lyricism. The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun". ?When it was first published in 1917, Growth of the Soil was immediately recognized as a masterpiece. Ninety years later it remains a transporting literary experience. In the story of Isak, who leaves his village to clear a homestead and raise a family amid the untilled tracts of the Norwegian back country, Knut Hamsun evokes the elemental bond between humans and the land. Hamsun?s nove.
