Knut Hamsun. A Visit to Hitler
19.99 €
Knut Hamsun (1859-1952), the great Norwegian writer, Nobel laureate, was and remains one of the most controversial figures in the literature of the 20th century. A singer of love and nature, human passions, who created "The Gospel of the Farmer", "The Fruits of the Earth" (1917), Hamsun at the same time sincerely shared Nazi views and admired Mussolini, Quisling and Hitler. Drawing on numerous sources and using unknown archival material (including Joseph Goebbels), the author of this study, Ture Rehm (b. 1967), professor at the University of Oslo, literary critic and journalist, attempts to answer the question of how creative genius can be combined with service to a misanthropic regime. The book culminates with an account of the great writer's meeting with the dictator at the Berghof residence on June 26, 1943. In 2015, the book "Knut Hamsun. A Visit to Hitler" was awarded the annual prize of the Norwegian critics' association as the best in the genre of documentary prose. The book has been translated into Danish, Swedish and German.
