Mesinädalad

by Johan Borgen, Henrik Sepamaa (Translator)

Johan Borgen (1902-1979) oli üks produktiivsemaid ja väljapaistvamaid norra kirjanikke. Debüteerinud juba 1925. aastal, lõi ta läbi alles kümmekond aastat hiljem oma humoristlike vestete ja följetonidega. Hiljem on ta kirjutanud ka romaane, näidendeid ja kuuldemänge, kuid oma parima on siiski andnud vestekirjanikuna ja novellistina, kellena talle Norras on raske leida võrdset. Käesolevas vihikus avaldatud novellid on tõlgitud kogust “Valitud novellid 1936-1961”. (H. Sepamaa saatesõnast)

About the author

Norwegian author, journalist and critic. He was married to Annemarta Borgen. Under the pseudonym of Mumle Gåsegg (Mumble Goose-egg) he wrote shorter articles in the newspaper Dagbladet, particularly during World War II. His articles were ironic and derogatory of the Nazi government, and he kept this up for a long time before being found out. In the end though, he was caught and sent to the prison camp Grini. His best known work is the novel Lillelord (1955). Borgen was editor of the literary magazine Vinduet ("The Window") 1954-1959.
