I know that if you're able to publish in Bokmal, you're guaranteed, I don't fully remember, a 1000 book sales. This might not be true anymore and the number might be far smaller, but I remember the government bought books in bokmal to try to encourage writers to do so and preserve the language. When I was learning bokmal and writing children's stories I thought about doing it in that language. I don't know if they have certain stipulations and if they would even buy those types of books, but I thought about it.

I have an old translation of some Sweedish folk stories.

Pär Lagerkvist for Sweden. Some here will know him as the Author of "The Dwarf". I've recently started binge-reading him, had The Dwarf, Barabbas and The Sibyl. Short and dense books about really fucked-up characters. Won the Lit Nobel Prize in 1951.

Yea, he wanted to tell us Swedes were faggots who were going to be raped by Muslims because of their atheism.

daily reminder that there is no Norwegian literature as Norwegian is not a written language
there is Danish literature and Danish literature written in Norway

The Egyptian by Mika Waltari

>>19723491
I thought there was an undeniable strain of *some* sort of hope in Barabbas, at least. It's a bleak sort of hope and there's nothing to confirm it's justified, but it's still there.
>Bara Barabbas hängde ensam kvar, ännu vid liv. När han kände döden komma, den som han alltid hade varit så rädd för, sade han ut i mörkret, som om han talade till det: - Till dig överlämnar jag min själ. Och sedan gav han upp andan.

Fantastic book. It's a shame Bengtsson died at 60, else he'd have been the best possible candidate to translate Tolkien. The first one we got came from more of a latinate tradition and did not get it at all.

Grandpa took a fistful of snow to cool his burning mouth.

— Back then it was no big thing to be simple and chaste … or dull and brooding, if that’s how you wanted it …

— Must’ve been nice …

— Nothing doing … we trusted our luckystars … saw to ourselves … we were raciallypure and cleanshaven all over … we propagated with style and taste … slow and steady wins the race … We men knew how to enjoy each other … liked being together … there weren’t too many of us … five thousand at most …

Grandpa swallowed, he was having a hard time going on.

— But evil was brewing … something was coming … something that would destroy our world forever …

— Was it women?

— It was women! The inferior race! three openings! Snakeless crotches! … Darkness covered the land … troubling rumors reached us from the south, but no one believed them, at least not at first … They started down in Ume … something about longhaired creatures making land … spinning the heads of tried and true buttfuckers everywhere … of course, everyone thought the rumors were just cockandbull … balderdash … But as we were to find out, those stories held a terrible, grim reality …

His voice sunk even more.

— They spread like the plague … like gangrene … before long they’d reached the vicinity of Vindeln … between Trollberget and Häggnäs … they were sly … didn’t come up the coast via Bygdeå, Ånäset, and Lövånger … the shriekingbuggers there should’ve finished them off! But those inlandfüddies were too slow with the whip … we were used to having things our own way, no regular mealtimes … letting it all hang out … minding our own business … no curfews, no responsibilities … just whim and will and almighty nature … God in heaven, if only the coastguard had blown them out of the water! before it was too late … They spread to Pompej and Sirapsbacken … lamias and harpies had nothing on them … they got beneath our skin with gooeyeyedloveydoveyness … they made their way to Gorkuträsk … Lossmen … the picture was becoming clearer … stumpylegged, narrowshouldered, steatopygic monsters with repulsively swollen breasts … coldblooded and heartless as vipers … they’d swoon on command if they didn’t get their way … we tore at our hair! went about in a daze! pinched ourselves hard! How could respectable barbarians soil their cocks with that?!

>>19725618
Grandpa trembled with the effort his story was taking … The woods brooded over his dark saga, the eternal struggle between evil and good.

— One word, the foulest word there ever was, began to make the rounds: Cunt … they had cunts, people said, like little furry animals, smoother and softer than anuses, not as heathenishly narrow … All who tried it were sold … Amfooorrrtasss!!! That’s what it was, all right, the Wound, the gaping, bloody, festering sore that wouldn’t close … They used cunts to take Norrland from us! Eyes full of bittersweet treachery, tongues agile as squirrels … Unlucky love walked among us, burning and pillaging … The bitter fate of Enkidu! They croaked in our arms, begging forgiveness for their desertion … The whores closed in on us, they were merciless … just snuck into our rooms at night and started gobbling … the vampires … coaxing ever-more perverted, bewitched cavaliers into their entourage … not to mention their wagonloads of brats! their knickknacks and householdparaphernalia! … They got off on cheapthrills and expensivegifts … had lowtastes and shrilltongues … daughters of Lilith and Circe … O Tertullian! o Juvenal! Jean de Meun! the godly Earl of Rochester! They made it to Fraukälen … Mensträsk … we prepared for the last battle … drugged ourselves with soma … They broke through our defenses … Gumboda! … Kankberg! … they rushed over us! We fought toothandnail, spit in deaths face … did all that was manly possible … raged in silence … we were like grandpa beasties protecting our young against devils and trolls! The best of us fell, bleeding from a thousand and one mortal wounds! we didn’t call retreat in time! better to be a stuckhog than a lapdog! There was a hundred of them for every one of us! they were like lemmings! Modern men with realjobs and soundminds! fawning, prudish, lecherous cunts! They kept on pushing and pushing, like they were floating logs! Vercellae and Camerone! Maldon and Roncevaux! Culloden and Liegnitz! Poltava and Stalingrad … We marched against them from the endless, godforsaken forests … We had axes, broadswords, and spears … we knew how to use them … The ground shuddered when it drank our Aryan blood … We fought like Teja, chanted laments like Gelimer! We fell with Aryanogrecocks pointing straight towards heaven, took twenty enemies for every one of us, but they just kept on coming … Animals came to our aid, but Mausers took them down … Giantbears, arcticwolves, sabertoothtigers, mutantrabbits … We protected our grandsons with all we had, no one would touch them while there was still breath in our lungs! They slaughtered us by the thousands! mutilations and outrages! bloodyshame and meatyshivers! they were sly as Phoenicians! horny as Etruscans! merciless as Israelites!

>>19725623
They brainwashed wounded prisoners of war and little boys alike! Taught them to love pussy! and everything else that makes life a living hell! Work! Sobriety! God and church! Law and order! King and country! Offices and factories! Clerks and critics! Bureaucracies and marketeconomies! Majorities and institutions! Parliamentarism and massmedia! Intellectuals and popularopinion! Legibility and literacy! Slave mentality! Slave morality! Creditors! By God! If only they’d killed us! spared us the sight of warriors turning into pigs! Down and Piltdown! After the invasion of the caitiffs and shrews life became what it is now … predictable … mundane … soulless … where your only thanks is a fist in the gut and shame is your only reward … They killed fantasy, honor, and ecstasy … Grubbs and mildew took the cow pastures and crops … The Colorado beetle and the Spanish slug did it for the potatoes and other vegetables … They domesticated animals … began to slaughter them … A few of us got away … refused to be tamed … planned our revenge … the last splinters of a shattered nobility … Like Miltons demons … and I am Satan himself … Accusing mankind before God … We make our home in the hidden places … as close to death as possible … outside of reality … the beastmen of deserted farmhouses … backwater marauders … hoochplied wolfhounds … depopulation’s wackjobs … Our time has come … let the battle cry sound … the lycanthropic revolt can begin …

Under the North Star by Väinö Linna

Vesaas and Dagerman are the greatest in my opinion. Torgny Lindgren is great. Willy Kyrklund too and Paasilinna.
It's really strange never seeing Stig Dagerman mentioned in these threads. He is without doubt the strongest writer and his death was fucked up. Check out Bränt Barn.

really doesn't work in translation

Who was in the wrong here?

>In June 1847, Andersen paid his first visit to England and he enjoyed a triumphal social success during this summer. The Countess of Blessington invited him to her parties where intellectual people would meet, and it was at one of such parties where he met Charles Dickens for the first time. They shook hands and walked to the veranda, which Andersen wrote about in his diary: "We were on the veranda, and I was so happy to see and speak to England's now-living writer whom I do love the most."[27]

>The two authors respected each other's work and as writers, they shared something important in common: depictions of the poor and the underclass who often had difficult lives affected both by the Industrial Revolution and by abject poverty. In the Victorian era there was a growing sympathy for children and an idealization of the innocence of childhood.

>Ten years later, Andersen visited England again, primarily to meet Dickens. He extended the planned brief visit to Dickens' home at Gads Hill Place into a five-week stay, much to the distress of Dickens' family. After Andersen was told to leave, Dickens gradually stopped all correspondence between them, this to the great disappointment and confusion of Andersen, who had quite enjoyed the visit and could never understand why his letters went unanswered.[27]

Snorri to capture the feel of pre-christian Scandinavia. Then Kierkegaard. There really isn't anyone else on his calibre and anyone who states otherwise GigaCopes - don't fall for the memes.

Scandinavia does get better if you take into account the people who migrated to UK and States though, but at that stage I'd personally like to consider them English or Mericans.

H.C. Andersen outdoes every other writer of fiction in Scandinavia.

I guess Danish was his second language and there is just a bigger market. Didn't Cioran write in French because of that ?

>>19728178
Danish was the main language of Scandinavians in the 19th century. Certainly the literary one. Ibsen, a Norwegian, also wrote in Danish (some Norwegian, like in Peer Gyn and Brand).

>>19727945

Frans G. Bengtsson is very based. He memorized every line in Hamlet (both the original text and multiple translations). He was also a complete and utter military nerd/enthusiast yet despised the nazis.

>For those who know Swedish, the response he wrote when a publishing house in Nazi occupied Norway wanted to give out a "corrected" version of Röde Orm (removing a jewish character etc) in 1942 is quite amusing:
"Varken ett komma eller en jude skall med mitt medgivande borttagas ur boken, och min uppfattning är exakt densamma som din egen: jag vägrar överhuvud att bli översatt till norska förrän herrar kretiner och kriminaldårar upphört att syssla med förlagsverksamhet därstädes, och helst upphört med allt annat också."

> Same thing happened a few months later in German occupied Prague. This response is even better:
"Tack för aktstycket från Prag. Jag fyller under inga omständigheter i den sortens smörja, utan vill då hellre slippa utkomma i det stackars landet tills vidare. Bortsett från den ariska paragrafen i formuläret, förefalla mig även ett par av de andra ungefär lika meningslösa som om vederbörande begärt upplysningar om hur ofta jag brukar raka mig, eller om jag är skelögd och i så fall varför. Måtte Sodoms och Gomorras eld tvätta den värld ren, där den sortens ting framfödas ur skurkars incest med idioter."

Röde Orm/The Long Ships is one of my favorite books, but his essays are well worth reading as well.

>Alastalon salissa (In the Alastalo Parlor) (1933) is a landmark Finnish novel by Volter Kilpi.
>The central narrative of Alastalon salissa describes a meeting of a group of wealthy men from Kustavi in the Archipelago Sea in Western Finland one October Thursday in the 1860s. The men are trying to decide whether to invest in a shipbuilding venture proposed by one of their number, Herman Mattsson, master of Alastalo. The novel's length stems from numerous digressions, internal monologues and a detailed accounting of each character's thought processes. In one famous scene, a character's journey to the mantelpiece to fetch a pipe is told in over seventy pages.
>No complete English translation has been published; but in the early 1990s, the editors of Books From Finland asked David Barrett (1914-1998) to translate Kilpi’s Alastalo into English; after translating just a few paragraphs Barrett declined the invitation:

one of the most famous poets in norway, andre bjerke, got labeled a traitor after translating "fenrik stål" when it got released by a NS publisher without his knowledge.

I liked Eyvind Johnsons historical fiction. There was a segment in Days of His Grace where a lombard princess "gets her dumbest slaves" to open the gate during a siege because she thought the hunnish commander was hot but the women avoid getting raped by stuffing their orifices with hen meat that ferments and stinks and turns the raping invaders off.
