Knut Hamsun

Knut Hamsun (4 Ogos 1859—19 Februari 1952) ialah seorang penulis Norway, yang dianugerahkan Hadiah Nobel dalam Kesusasteraan pada tahun 1920. Karya Hamsun menjangkau lebih dari 70 tahun dan menunjukkan variasi berkenaan dengan subjek, perspektif dan persekitaran. Beliau menerbitkan lebih daripada 20 novel, koleksi puisi, beberapa cerita pendek dan drama, sebuah perjalanan, dan beberapa karya tulis. 

Hamsun muda membantah kepada realisme dan naturalisme. Beliau berpendapat bahawa objek utama kesusasteraan modenis harus menjadi selok-belok pikiran manusia, yang penulis harus menggambarkan "bisikan darah, dan merayu sumsum tulang". Hamsun dianggap sebagai "pemimpin pemberontakan Neo-Romantik pada kurun ke-20", dengan karya-karya seperti Hunger (1890), Misteri (1892), Pan (1894), dan Victoria (1898). Karya-karyanya yang kemudian-khususnya "novel-novel Nordland " yang dipengaruhi oleh realisme baru Norway, menggambarkan kehidupan seharian di pedesaan Norway dan sering menggunakan dialek tempatan, ironi, dan humor. 

Hamsun dianggap sebagai "salah satu gaya penerbit sastera yang paling berpengaruh dan inovatif dari seratus tahun yang lalu" (sekitar 1890-1990). Beliau mempelopori kesusasteraan psikologi dengan teknik aliran kesedaran dan monolog dalaman, dan mempengaruhi pengarang seperti Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, dan Ernest Hemingway. Isaac Bashevis Penyanyi menamakan Hamsun sebagai "bapa sekolah kesusasteraan moden dalam setiap aspeknya-kepekaannya, kerentanannya, kegunaan imbas kembali, liriknya. Seluruh fiksyen moden di abad kedua puluh berasal dari Hamsun". 

Pada 4 Ogos 2009, Pusat Knut Hamsun dibuka di Hamarøy. Sejak tahun 1916, beberapa karya Hamsun telah disesuaikan dengan gambar-gambar gerakan.
