Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Heritage of the Kurts The greatest of Norwegian novelists was christened Bjornstjerne Martinius Bjornson, but he has never used the second of these names. He was born on the 8th of December 1832, at Kvikne in Osterdalen, a parish of which his father had the year before been appointed priest. According to a statement in one of his own poems, "our race was once the foremost in the land," but the family name was Ske in the eighteenth century, and was changed to Bjornson by the novelist´s father; it does not seem certain that the Skes were ever very illustrious or very prominent. Bjornstjerne Bjornson was the eldest son of Peder Bjornson and Inger Ehse Nordraak, who were married in 1831. In the little story called Blakken ("The Dun"), the novelist has described the solitary life which he led in the bleak parsonage high up in a ravine of the hills. When he was six years old, his father was transferred to Naesset, in the Romsdal, one of the loveliest parishes in Norway, where the influences of natural beauty and a full peasant society instantly began to mould the child´s poetic sensations.
