Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) war einer der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Zahl berühmter Autoren, die das Werk als eines der schonungslosesten und erschütterndsten der Weltliteratur betrachten, ist Legion. Henry Miller und Hemingway bewunderten das Buch. Herman Hesse ließ sich inspirieren, Kafka, Brecht, Thomas Mann und Robert Musil lasen es beeindruckt. Sofort nach seinem Erscheinen 1890 wurde der Roman in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt. Hamsun erhielt 1917 den Literaturnobelpreis.
