Items related to Victoria (Condor Books)
This beautiful and moving story of young love is a classic of European literature. Johannes, the miller s son, and Victoria, daughter of the lord of the manor, enjoy a brief moment of ecstasy that is as transitory as their dreams. They are forever separated by their class, and circumstances force them into perverse cruelty to each other. Yet, Victoria cannot live without her Johannes. 'Victoria' is the only novel Hamsun wrote that could be described as a whole-hearted love story and was written at the beginning of his own marriage

Review:
The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun. --Isaac Bashevis Singer
"One of the great writers." --'Sunday Times'
Nobel literature prize winner Hamsun s plot has more twists than a ball of string... a charming and attentive novel. Oliver Stallybrass s new translation will hopefully heap Hamsun a new generation of readers. --'Big Issue'

Born in 1859, Knut Hamsun s early works were forceful and polemic before he became more compassionate in his later work, drawing inspiration from the country people of his native Norway. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920 for Growth of the Soil. He has been recognised as one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century.
