Sobre el autor
Bjørnstjerne Martinius Bjørnson (1832–1910) was a towering figure in Norwegian literature and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1903. As a playwright, poet, novelist, and political activist, his impact on the cultural and political landscape of Norway was profound. Born in Kvikne, Bjørnson moved to Christiania (now Oslo) where he cultivated his literary career. He is recognized as one of the ‘Four Greats’ of 19th-century Norwegian literature, alongside Henrik Ibsen, Alexander Kielland, and Jonas Lie. Bjørnson’s literary style was rooted in the National Romantic movement, and his works often explored the themes of identity, nationalism, and the human condition within the context of Norwegian life and history. Some of his renowned works include ‘Synnøve Solbakken’ (1857) and ‘A Happy Boy’ (1860), which reflect his skillful storytelling and his commitment to realism. Although ‘The Big Book of Christmas Treasure Tales’ is not among his most famous works, it showcases his versatility and his ability to charm readers with heartfelt storytelling. Bjørnson’s influence extended beyond literature; he actively participated in public debates and was an advocate for the Norwegian language and independence. His legacy endures in the cultural fabric of Norway and his contributions to literature continue to be celebrated worldwide.
