		Knut Hamsun ^Votes:0 Knut Hamsun The magazine 'Viking', published by the 'Sons of Norway' has in its Jan 1990 issue a small tract honoring the great Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun who died on February 19, 1952. The occasion, however, is not so much the date of his death as it is that 1990 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of his famous book 'Hunger', written in the style of the 'social novel' so popular around the turn of the century. Hamsun enjoyed great fame during the 50 years from about 1890 until he made the fatal faux pas of backing Hitler when Norway became occupied by Germany in 1940. This was of course not 'acceptable' to the literary world and the publishing houses, and after WW II Hamsun was tried for treason. The charges were dropped because of his age but heavy fines were imposed. Apolo Read More Go to Site
