Lauded for his literary achievements by Hemingway, Gide, Hesse, and others, he also provoked outrage for his open collaboration with the Fascists during the German occupation of Norway and for his insistent refusal to renounce his Nazi sympathies. This gripping biography of Hamsun, now available for the first time in English, offers a nuanced account of this morally ambiguous man. Drawing on Hamsuns extraordinary private archives and on his psychoanalysts notes, Ingar Sletten Kolloen delves deeply into Hamsuns personal life and character. In vivid and telling detail, he describes Hamsuns early years in a peasant farming family, his tempestuous and jealousy-racked second marriage, his erratic relationship with his children, and his infamous love affair with Nazi Germany, the roots of which Kolloen traces to Hamsuns earliest days. Much like the characters he created in novels such as Hunger, Growth of the Soil, Mysteries, and Pan, Hamsun was irrational, eccentric, strange, and compelling - a man uncomfortable in his own time" -- from book jacket. 546 Translated from the Norwegian. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Hamsun, Knut, |d1859-1952. 650 0 Authors, Norwegian |y19th century |vBiography. 650 0 Authors, Norwegian |y20th century |vBiography. 600 17 Hamsun, Knut |vBiographie. |2idsbb 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Kolloen, Ingar Sletten, |d1951- |tDrømmer og erobrer. |lEnglish. 852 0 |bstacks |hPT8950.H3 |iZ67613 2009
