Knut Hamsun
Houane'er he bydes a controversial cheil in Norrowey fer his actions in Wurld War II, whan he supportit the regime o Vidkun Quisling an his Nasjonal Samling pairty.
Biography
In 1898, Hamsun mairriet on Bergljot Goepfert, but the mairrage wes endit in 1906. Thrie year efter, he mairriet on Marie Andersen (that also screived sum warks o musardrie an bairns' buiks), an she wad be his companion until he dee'd. The twa bocht a ferm, wi the norrie o makkin a livin aff o that, wi writin eikin a tait extra siller.
Houane'er, efter twa-thrie year, the flittit south tae Lavrik. In 1918, the couple bocht Nørholm, an auld an sumwhit ruachled muckle houss, that they restored. Here Hamsun cuid wark unfashed, tho he aften traiveled tae screive in ithir ceities an places.
Knut Hamsun dee'd in his hame at Nørholm in 1952 at the eild o 92.
Wark
A theme that Hamsun aften retoured tae is that the o perpetual daunnerer, a stravaigin orra-bodie (aften the narrator) that shaws up an warks himsel intae the life o smaw, landart communities. The daunnerer is central tae the novels Mysterier (Mysteries), Pan, Under Høststjærnen (Unner the Hairst Star), Den sidste Glæde (The Hinmaist Blytheness) an ithirs forbye.
Hamsuns prose aften contains wul descreivins o the naitural wurld, wi intimate reflections on the Norse shawlands an coastline. Fer this raison he haes been linkit tae the pantheistic muivment. Hamsun thocht o mankind an naitur as bein unitit in a strang, while meistical bond. This norrie raxed out tae its fouest expression in Markens Grøde (Grawth o the Soil) that won him the Nobel Prize in 1920.
His hinmaist novel, Paa gjengrodde Stier (On Owergrawed Pads), set furth in 1949, is pairt memoir, an in sum weys sets out his defence fer his actions durin the occupation o Norawa.
A fifteen volume edeition o his hail warks wes set furth in 1954.
Poleitical sympathies
Hamsun wes aye a promeinent advocate o Germany an German cultur, as weil as opponin baith British imperialism an the Soviet Union. He supportit Germany in baith the Wurld Wars. Tho he wes gey popular in Norawa an aroun the wurld, Hamsun's reputation dwyned acause o his support fer Vidkun Quisling's Naitional Socialist govrenment, an monie thrawn Norse fowk sent copies o his beuks back tae his hametoun in protest - atweil, the local posties e'en haed tae tak on pairt-time warkers tae deal wi the nummers o beuks comin in. Efter a meetin wi Joseph Goebbels in 1943, he gied Goebbels his Nobel Prize medal as a gift.
While in his eichties, an lairgly deif, Hamsun met wi Adolf Hitler. His meetin wi him wes maistly Hamsun complainin anent the Nazi depredations agin Norse fowk. He ettled tae hae Josef Terboven remuivit frae his position o Reichskommissar o Norrowey. Efter Hitler's daith, Hamsun screived an obituary fer him, cryin him a "warrior fer mankind."
It haes whiles been threipit that Hamsun's sympathies wes thaim o an occupiet kintra. Hamsun whiles uissit his fame tae wark fer better conditions o fowk livin durin the occupation an creiticizit the nummer o executions. Still an aw, at the end o the war angert thrangs burnit his beuks in major Norrowegian ceities. Efter the war, Hamsun wes confinit fer twa-thrie month in a psychiatric hospital. A psychiatrist concludit that he haed "permanently impairit mental ableilities", an on thon basis the chairges o traison agin him wes drappit. Instead, a ceevil liability case wes raisit agin him an in 1948 he wes fined 325,000 kroner fer alleged memmerskip o Nasjonal Samling, tho he wes acquitit o onie direck Nazi-affiliation. Baith his mental state an memmerskip o Nasjonal Samling haes been debatit an disputit e'en the day.
Misc
A Dens screiver cried Thorkild Hansen pit out a beuk cried The Hamsun Trial in 1978, that caused a muckle stoushie in Norrowey. This beuk wes uissit as the basis fer the Swadish film Hamsun (1996) by Jan Troell. Hamsun himsel wes played bi the Swadish actor Max von Sydow, that's weil kent fer bein in The Exorcist amang ithir flms.

The maximal speed that coud be obtained on a free driveway wis 88–90 km/h (54 mph), nae mair nor a slicht increase ower the 401 series (an maistly due tae considerable reductions in body wecht). It wis no till 1958 that the ingine wis replaced wi MZMA's OHV development (amang ither changes tae the motor) which allowed tae obtain a maximal speed increase up tae 115 km/h (70 mph) an a muckle less noisy drive. The new ingine 402 model wis manufactured as Moskvitch 407.
In 1961, the 407 model wis further upgradit wi an even stranger, faster M-407D1-D2 ingine (allowin tae haundle the fowert speed on a manual transmission), self-adjustin brake cylinders an hydraulic clutch drive, alangside a completely restructured driver's interior panel.

The 402 model wis completely discontinued bi August 1959, wi the 407 production endin in 1963 an the 403 in 1965.
Moskvitches 402 an 407 coud be considered as the first step in USSR/Roushie's automotive history towards producin customer-adaptit trim levels for various uises. While the 407 model providit greater drivin comfort at bigger expenses, ither trims an aa includit the 424 station wagon available for the general public, 431 delivery pick-up/ambulance van an even the 410/411 attempt o creatin an SUV-based sedan/station wagon.
