Arne Garborg
Arne Garborg , born as Aadne Eivindsson Garborg (born January 25, 1851 in Time , Jæren in southwestern Norway , † January 14, 1924 in Asker near Oslo ) was a Norwegian author who wrote the Landsmål , now called Nynorsk , synthesized by Ivar Aasen Literary and state language propagated.
Life and work
His novels Bondestudentar ( Bauer students ), man Folk ( From a man's world ), HJA ho mor ( For Mom ) and Trætte Mænd ( Tired Souls ), a loose tetralogy form, are some of the major works of the Norwegian naturalism . They were widely read in Germany during the author's lifetime.
The then popular writer married Hulda Bergersen on December 3, 1887 , with whom he moved from the capital Kristiania to Tynset , in a small farmhouse on Lake Savalen . In 1888 she gave birth to a son. The industriously creative couple of poets did not live in seclusion, but traveled frequently, not only to Kristiania, but also to Paris , Berlin , Dießen and Fürstenfeldbruck . In 1896 the Garborgs left Tynset and moved to Hvalstad near Kristiania.
Arne Garborg was friends with the Guru Swami Sri Ananda Acharya , whom he got to know during his ten-year stay in Østerdalen, Norway . The exchange of ideas with him was reflected in Garborg's diary.
Arne Garborg later moved into a summer house in his birthplace, where he was buried even after his death. His wife survived him by a decade and published parts of his diaries.
