Johan Bojer

Japanese: ボーイエル(英語表記)Johan Bojer
Johan Bojer
1872‐1959
Norwegian novelist. He wrote The Great Hunger (1916), moving from Ibsen-style social criticism to criticism of the modern development of the mechanical industry. However, his literary talents are best seen in his narrative novels depicting the lives of farmers and fishermen in northern Norway, such as The Last Viking (1921), My Family (1924), and especially The Seaside People (1929). These vividly depict the poverty of Norway and the bitter despair of those who emigrated to the Americas. [Mori Mitsuya]

ノルウェーの小説家。イプセン流の社会批判から,現代の機械工業発達への批判に進み,《大いなる飢え》(1916)を書く。しかし,彼の文学的本領は,北ノルウェーの農夫,漁夫の生活を写す叙事的な小説群,《最後のバイキング》(1921),《わが一族》(1924),特に《海辺に住む人々》(1929)にみられる。ここでは,ノルウェーの貧しさ,アメリカ大陸に移住した者たちの苦い絶望が生き生きと描き出されている。【毛利 三弥】
