Translated from the Norwegian by Oliver Stallybrass. 160 pages. paperback. keywords: Europe Scandinavia Norway Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION-LOVE IN FRAGMENTS. In VICTORIA, Knut Hamsun has fashioned a lovers' idyll which is both deceptively simple and as complex as the workings of the human psyche. The lovers, Victoria and Johannes, are from different worlds: Johannes is a young peasant boy with literary ambitions; Victoria is daughter of the lord of the manor. Each, though passionately in love with the other, must pursue a separate destiny, until the barriers between them fall. and the moment of truth arrives. Novelist Henry Miller has said, ‘Hamsun is the author I deliberately tried to imitate, obviously without success. I am not alone in this fatuous worship of Hamsun. He seems to have been to those of my generation what Dickens was to the readers of his time. We read everything he wrote and panted for mores' Library Journal calls VICTORIA ‘a passionately lyrical tale deeply saturated with the brooding melancholy so characteristic of Hamsun's fiction.
