Alexander Lange Kielland

    18 februari 1849 – 6 april 1906

    Alexander Lange Kielland behoort tot de meest prominente Noorse realistische schrijvers van de 19e eeuw, geroemd om zijn scherpe maatschappijkritiek. Ondanks zijn welgestelde achtergrond, kwam hij consequent op voor de minder bedeelden en bekritiseerde hij onbevreesd sociale hypocrisie, met name binnen de geestelijkheid. Kielland gebruikte meesterlijk satirische komedies en korte verhalen, naast zijn belangrijke romans, om heersende onrechtvaardigheden en culturele dwaasheden van zijn tijd bloot te leggen. Zijn blijvende werken bieden een treffende, vaak humoristische, kijk op de complexiteit van de Noorse samenleving en de menselijke conditie.
