Forfatteren ble født i Stavanger i 1849 til konsul Jens Zetlitz Kielland. Hans bror var den berømte landskapsmaler Kitty Lange Kielland. Selv om Kielland ble født inn i en meget velstående familie mente han også mye om situasjonen for den lavere arbeiderklassen. Tilsynelatende var han en velvillig fabrikkeier som behandlet sine arbeidere godt. Mye av det lyriske arbeidet hans var satire som fokuserte på livet til de lavere klasser og kommentarer til den øvre klassen. Den velkjente trilogien hans, som startet med boka "Gift," så tett på livet til presteskapet og hva som var viktig for dem. Kiellands inspirasjon inkluderte mange navn fra fransk litteratur, samt Charles Dickens og John Stuart Mill. Spesielt romanene hans falt i stor grad innenfor realisme-sjangeren og avviste skarpt naturalismen, som var den andre utbredte litterære trenden i løpet i hans levetid. Kielland ble ordfører i Stavanger i 1891 og ble valgt som fylkesmann i fylket i 1902. Kielland døde i 1906 angivelig av fedme. Minst en biograf rapporterer at så tidlig som på 1880-tallet hadde Kielland problemer med kortpustethet. Han hadde også en rekke hjerteinfarkt og fortsatte å øke i vekt. De som kjente ham sa at han elsket mat og hadde problemer med å beherske seg når det kom til mat han elsket. I alt inkluderer Kiellands repertoar minst tre essays, seks skuespill, ni romaner, og tre bøker med noveller. ----Formal English---- Alexander Kielland Alexander Kielland is considered one of the Four Greats of Norwegian literature. The writer was born in Stavanger in 1849 to Consul Jens Zetlitz Kielland. His brother was the famous landscape painter Kitty Lange Kielland. Although Kielland was born into a very wealthy family, he also thought much about the plight of the lower class workers. Supposedly he was a benevolent factory owner who treated his workers very well. Much of his work was satire that focused on the lives of the lower classes and provided commentary about the upper classes. His well-known trilogy, which started with the book Gift, looked closely at the life of the clergy and what was important to them. Kielland's influences included many names from French literature as well as Charles Dickens and John Stuart Mill. His novels in particular fell largely in the genre of realism and sharply rejected naturalism, which was the other prevalent literary trend of his day. Kielland became the mayor of Stavanger in 1891 and was then selected as governor of the county in 1902. Kielland died in 1906, supposedly from obesity. At least one biographer reports that as early as the 1880s, Kielland had been having problems with shortness of breath. He also had a number of heart attacks and kept gaining weight. Those who knew him said that he loved food and had many difficulties controlling himself when it came to the foods that he loved. In all, Kielland is credited with at least three essays, six plays, nine novels, and three books of short stories. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!

Nielsen var frontmann og vokalist, med Aasen på trommer og og Torgersen på bassgitar. Det norske bandet var uvanlig i sitt eget land fordi Nielsen, som skrev de fleste tekstene, skrev hovedsaklig sangtekstene på norsk. På 1980-tallet skrev og fremførte de fleste norske bandene tekster på engelsk fordi det var dette som gjorde dem populære over hele verden. Jokke Valentinerne regnes å være en av de fire store rockebandene fra dette tiåret. Bandet brøt opp i 1994, selv om de gjorde noen opptredener sammen fra tid til annen etter bruddet. Nielsen døde av en overdose i 2000, men de andre medlemmene i bandet lever fortsatt. Han var bare 36 år gammel da han døde. Et tilbakevendende tema i tekstene er alkohol og Nielsen var kjent for drikking på scenen under forestillinger. Sannsynligvis den mest bemerkelsesverdige gangen han dukket opp beruset på scenen var under tildelingen av Spellemannprisen, som ligner på the Grammys i USA. Han så ut til å være full da han gikk på scenen for å motta prisen. En av grunnene til at alkohol ofte refereres til i tekstene stammer fra fortellingene til bandmedlemmene som handler om feiginger, de utstøtte og den såkalte "underdogs." Sangene handler i hovedsak om å prøve å leve livet med vanskeligheter. ----Formal English---- Jokke & Valentinerne Jokke & Valentinerne was founded in 1982 by Joachim Nielsen, May-Irne Aasen, and Hakon Torgersen. Nielsen was the front man and lead singer, while Aasen played drums and Torgersen played bass guitar. The Norwegian band was unusual in its own country because Nielsen, who wrote most of their songs, wrote the lyrics in Norwegian. During the 1980s, most Norwegian bands wrote and performed their lyrics in English because that was what made them popular all over the world. Jokke & Valentinerne is considered one of the Great Four rock bands of the decade. The band broke up in 1994, although they did some performances together from time to time after the break. Nielsen died of a heroin overdose in 2000, although the other band members are still living. He was just thirty-six years old when he died. One recurrent theme that keeps appearing in the band's song lyrics is alcohol, and Nielsen was known for drinking on stage during their performances. Probably the most notable time he appeared on stage while drunk was during the Spellemannprisen awards, which are similar to the Grammys in the U.S. He appeared drunk when he went on stage to accept their award. One of the reasons alcohol appears so much in the band's lyrics is because most of their stories are about the anti-hero, the misfit, and the so-called underdog. The songs are mainly about trying to live life with difficulties stacked up against you. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!
