Why would it be his greatest novel?

>Growth Of The Soil
>Walden
Name a better Fiction - nonfiction combo read! You can’t!

>Knut Hamsun's Greatest Novel
I don't need your opinions book cover.

>Walden
>right wing
So this is the power of nu/lit/ and /pol/faggotry

Thoreau rejected modernity, big government, pop culture and industrialization. He praised individualism, high cultures (especially ancient ones), Christianity, the environment, and isolationism

He shares a lot in common with the right wing of modern Western politics

Stop shitting up the board with your shitty political threads. This shit should be on /pol/ not here faggot

apart from christianity, i dont see the connection

>politics in literature is /pole\
End yourself.

I've only read Pan by Hamsun. Shit was good.

That's probably because you're not very smart

Watch more Varg videos

And yet the funny thing is, the ones dropping out of society and becoming self-sustaining farmers in small communes are all dirty unwashed hippies, not angry internet-reactionaries. Revolt against modernity isn't exclusively for the right, and in practice, it is done mostly by those who would rather identify with the left. On the contrary, internet-reactionaries, strangely enough, bitch and moan about modernity on an imageboard that encapsulates the anomie, anonymity, rootlessness, impermanence, alienation and atomization of modernity par excellence. It is profoundly ironic.

But to return to your post about Hamsun being "right-wing". Equating "socially"/technologically progressive/reactionary with politically left/right is retarded for a number of reasons, and is exclusively an american meme, and, as such, shitty and uninformed. Chief among the reasons that the equation is retarded in this context is that Hamsun has absolutely nothing but scorn for the industrial-capitalist extraction of resources from nature, something the "right-wing" absolutely does not. This theme pervades his entire authorship, and in this regard, he is closer to Heideggerian ecophilosophy and Heidegger's critique of technology and industrialization than anything that could meaningfully be called "right-wing". He is reactionary, certainly, but calling it right-wing is too nebulous to mean anything at all.

>walden
>nonfiction

hes proven to have made it all up faggot

Sure is. Pan is unparalleled in lyrical prose, but most of Hamsun's early works have similar qualities. If you'd like to delve deeper into his authorship, I cannot recommend Mysteries enough.

Right--because liberals love industrialization, while conservatives hate it. Go fuck yourself.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

>the ones dropping out of society and becoming self-sustaining farmers in small communes are all dirty unwashed hippies,

white bourgeois who have the privilege to do so

This is a literature board. He asked for recommendations on a certain type of book. That's all, nothing more, yet you decided to come in this thread and shit it up.

He said right wing, not conservative. All politicians nowadays whether liberal or conservative are all shills for industrialization and technology.

>something the "right-wing" absolutely does not.

Yes, it does. All the right-wing authors I read are heavily against capitalism and industry. Like you said, terms like 'right-wing' and 'left-wing' are too nebulous so a void using them in the future.

>something the "right-wing" absolutely does not
Just so you know, you are coming off like a massive retard who has absolutely zero familiarity with right-wing thought

>This theme pervades his entire authorship, and in this regard, he is closer to Heideggerian ecophilosophy and Heidegger's critique of technology and industrialization than anything that could meaningfully be called "right-wing". He is reactionary, certainly, but calling it right-wing is too nebulous to mean anything at all.

>implying that right wingers can read or write

the dude worked fucking hard as shit and literally went from one goat to being a major landholder and influential business person. why affix a political terminology on that and just use is as a guide for living your life to the fullest?

walden and you are both gay

thats a function of how old he is, not how he thought

>tfw when you're favorite novel can never be discussed without retards bringing up 21st century internet meme politics

what a gay thread

Do you see what is happening in your post? There's a contradiction specifically between the second sentence and the last one.

Wow, what a high-effort critique. What ever will I do?

See, the thing here is that you fail to distinguish between Heidegger's work and Heidegger's person, which suggests that you've read a bit of his biography but none of his philosophy. I didn't say the theme was similar to Heidegger, I said it was similar to Heidegger's thought. How familiar are you with Heidegger's work? His criticism of technology and Das Gestell is antithetical to "right-wing" practice, if by that we mean the policies employed all over the world by pretty much every political power that considers itself "right-wing". That is not to say he is a leftist, far from it, rather it is to illustrate, as I tried (and failed, apparently, because the readers are hordes of mouthbreathers, which figures in a /pol/ thread) that the left-right distinction makes no sense vis-a-vis Hamsun, nor does it in regard to Heidegger's thought. Much of Heidegger's philosophy is completely incompatible with nazism, his ecological thought which was what I referred to being a prime example. There is no place for industrial production of Panzerkampfwagens in the Ruhr for Heidegger's thought. That he was a hypocrite (not even necessarily, his ecological thought is postwar, and he stopped being an active nazi once he was fired from his rectorship in '34, i.e. as soon as it didn't benefit him personally anymore) is philosophically uninteresting. But anyway, thanks for your shitty and uninformed opinion, it has been duly noted.

Hunger is also great and my personal favourite

>Not right-wing
>Heideggerian
It's kinda retarded, so i don't know who the brainlet is, but i consider third-position to be right wing

>third-position explicitly christened to transcend the left-right dichotomy
>"i consider third-position to be right wing"

Right wingers have literally wrote the greatest lit of all time. Cuck.

He wasn't. Read his fucking black books you brainlet.

>tfw you can read his books in Norwegian

Feels good man. Mysteries and Hunger are his greatest novels, though.

lord of the rings

>apolitical literature
where did this meme come from?

pick 1 and only 1

>Do you see what is happening in your post? There's a contradiction specifically between the second sentence and the last one.
Why do you type like this you pretentious fuck? please neck yourself.

>implying right-wing retards know how to write

>revolt against the modern world is about not using technology
At least read a quick summary of the book before typing out this pseud essay

Right wing people can't afford to drop out of society like hippies can, because they have families to support and children to raise. They often do the best they can by living in rural areas.

>Modern right wing
>Caring about the environment

How many levels of irony are you on right now?

t. Amerimutt who thinks neocons are the only right wingers. The reactionary right is obsessed with the Malthusian collapse and environmentalism.

>liberal-conservative dichotomy
