Knut Hamsun citáty

Knut Hamsun , vlastným menom Knud Pedersen, bol nórsky spisovateľ, nositeľ Nobelovej ceny za literatúru.

Narodil sa v rodine krajčíra, vyrastal na severe Nórska. Keď mal desať rokov, rodičia ho poslali za strýkom, od ktorého čoskoro utiekol a následne pracoval ako učeň v obchode. Roku 1879 odišiel do Kodane, kde neuspel u vydavateľa. Vrátil sa teda do Nórska, v rokoch 1882 – 88 žil v USA, pracoval ako rybár a sprievodca. V tom čase začal hlboko nesúhlasiť s „anglickým a americkým tržným a nemorálnym pohľadom na spoločnosť“. V roku 1888 sa vrátil do Kodane a v roku 1893 odišiel do Paríža. V rokoch 1898 – 99 cestoval s manželkou po Európe a Ázii. Neskôr žil znova v Dánsku, od roku 1918 v Nórsku neďaleko Narviku. Wikipedia

Knut Hamsun: Citáty v angličtine

“… I will exile my thoughts if they think of you again, and I will rip my lips out if they say your name once more. Now if you do exist, I will tell you my final word in life or in death, I tell you goodbye.”

Knut Hamsun kniha Hunger

“I am not worthy to speak loudly of Adolf Hitler, nor do his life and deeds call for sentimental arousal. He was a warrior, a warrior for mankind, and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reformer of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he lived in a time of unequalled cruelty, which felled him in the end. Thus the ordinary Western European may look upon Adolf Hitler. And we, his close followers, bow our heads at his death.”

"And which do you love best?"

"The dream.”

“The heavy red roses smoldering in the foggy morning, blood-colored and uninhibited, made me greedy, and tempted me powerfully to steal one--I asked the prices merely so I could come as near them as possible.”

Wanderers (1909)

“Nothing helped; I was fading helplessly away with open eyes, staring straight at the ceiling. Finally I stuck my forefinger in my mouth and took to sucking on it. Something began stirring in my brain, some thought in there scrambling to get out, a stark-staring mad idea: what if I gave a bite? And without a moment's hesitation I squeezed my eyes shut and clenched my teeth together. I jumped up. I was finally awake.”
