Han har mottatt en rekke litterære priser, blant annet litteraturprisen fra Nordisk Råds, litteraturprisen fra Norsk kritikerlag og Brage-prisen, som han vant to ganger, i 2000 og 2008. Bøkene hans har også nådd prestisjetunge lister som 5 Best Fiction Books i 2007 som er publisert av New York Times og 10 Best Fiction Books i 2007 publisert av Time Magazine. Bøkene hans har også blitt oversatt til nesten 50 forskjellige språk. I tekstene sine tar han opp alle slags familietema, inkludert følelser i forbindelse med tap og sorg i en familie. Boka som regnes av mange litterære eksperter som hans gjennombruddsroman var "Ut og stjæle hester". Romanen fra 2003 fokuserer på et par tvillinger og er full av doble betydninger. Den handler i stor grad om andre verdenskrig og nazistenes okkupasjon av Pettersons hjemland Norge. Når man senere spurte om hvordan det historiske emne fant veien inn i romanen, sa Petterson at han snublet over ideen mens han forsket og skrev boken. Han sa de doble betydningene kom mens han arbeidet og var ikke opprinnelig tiltenkt. I tillegg til å være en dyktig forfatter er Petterson også en bibliotekar. Før han begynte å skrive på heltid var han også en oversetter, litteraturkritiker og ansatt i en bokhandel. Han har kalt Raymond Carver og Knut Hamsun som to av de store forfatternee som har hatt innflytelse på arbeidet hans. ----Formal English---- Per Petterson Norwegian novelist Per Petterson was born in Oslo in 1952. He has received numerous literary awards, including the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize, the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature, and the Brage Prize, which he won twice—in 2008 and 2000. His books have also been named to prestigious lists like the Five Best Fiction Books of 2007 list published by the New York Times and the Ten Best Fiction Books of 2007 list published by Time Magazine. His books have also been translated into almost fifty different languages. In his writings, he deals largely with family issues of all kinds, including the feelings that are evoked by major losses within a family. The book that many literary experts regard as his breakthrough novel was Out Stealing Horses. The 2003 novel focuses on a pair of twins and is full of double meanings. It deals largely with World War II and the Nazis’ occupation of Petterson’s homeland of Norway. When later asked about how the historical topic found its way into his fictitious novel, Petterson said he stumbled across the idea while researching and writing the book. He said that the double meanings came about as he worked and were not originally intended. In addition to being an accomplished author, Petterson is also a librarian. Before he started to write full time, he also was a translator, literary critic, and bookstore clerk. He has named Raymond Carver and Knut Hamsun as two major influences on his work. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!

Metafiksjon spiller en viktig rolle i bøkene hans som også ser nærmere på historien til religion og filosofi. Så langt har hans arbeid blitt oversatt til minst 50 forskjellige språk. Gaarder ble født i Oslo i 1952 og studerte nordisk litteratur, religion og filosofi ved Universitetet i Oslo. Etter eksamen ble han lærer på videregående skole og begynte også å skrive, hvor han først sendte dikt og artikler til ulike aviser, samtidig hjalp han også å skrive lærebøker. Gaarders mest kjente verk så langt er "Sofies verden," en roman fra 1990 som anses å være en av de mest suksessfulle romaner internasjonalt av en norsk forfatter. Der er også et dataspill og en film versjon av boken. Historien handler om en tenåring som bor sammen med moren og flere dyr. Hun begynner å motta mystiske brev i postkassen hennes som kommer fra en filosof som lærer henne om filosofi og religion. Gaarder og hans kone opprettet Sofieprisen i 1997 som er en internasjonal pris for dyktighet innen bærekraftig utvikling. I tillegg til hans bekymringer for miljøet er han også svært bekymret for menneskerettigheter. Han kritiserte israelerne sterkt for måten de behandler palestinerne. Så langt har Gaarder minst 16 forskjellige verker i repertoaret sitt. Han har vunnet en rekke priser for sitt arbeid, herunder Norsk kritikerlags Litteraturpris. Han fikk også en æresgrad fra Dublins Trinity College og ble hedret som kommandør med Den Kongelige Norske St. Olavs Orden. ----Formal English---- Jostein Gaarder Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder has written numerous children's books, short stories, and novels, often using a child's perspective to write about the wonder of living in this world. Metafiction plays an important role in his books, which also look closely at the history of religion and philosophy. So far his work has been translated into at least fifty different languages. Gaarder was born in Oslo in 1952 and studied Nordic literature, religion, and philosophy at the University of Oslo. Upon graduation, he became a high school teacher and also began to write, first sending in his poems and articles to various newspapers and also helping write textbooks. Gaarder's most well-known work thus far is Sophie's World, a 1991 novel that is considered one of the most internationally successful novels by a Norwegian writer. There is also a computer game and a movie version of the book. The story is about a teenager who lives with her mother and several animals. She begins to receive mysterious letters in her mailbox, which come from a philosopher who teaches her about philosophy and religion. Gaarder and his wife created the Sophie Prize in 1997, which is an international award for excellence in sustainable development. In addition to his concerns about the environment, he also is very concerned about human rights. He heavily criticized the Israelis for the way they have been treating the Palestinians. So far Gaarder has been credited with at least sixteen different works. He has won numerous prizes for his work, including the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature. He was also given an honorary degree from Dublin's Trinity College and was honored as a commander with the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!
