MARTINEZ B0RRESEN, Zarina. Knut Hamsun in Spanish America: Towards a Reevaluation. Lit. mex [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.2, pp.31-50. ISSN 2448-8216.

Although the work of Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun, the author of the masterpieces Hunger, Mysteries and Pan is at present not so familiar to the Spanish American readers, it is surprising to find that his titles were well received and widely published in the continent during the first years of the XXth century, particularly after he was awarded the Nobel prize in literature in 1920. Based on samples from library catalogues in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, México and Uruguay, this article intends to follow Spanish and Spanish American translations of Hamsun's works from 1919 to 2009.

Keywords : Knut Hamsun; translation; publication; Spain; Spanish America.
