The Four Greats (Norwegian Writers)
The Four Greats ( Danish and Norwegian ''de fire store'') is a term used for four of the most influential Norwegian writers of the late 19th century. The Four Greats were: *Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906) playwright, theatre director, and poet who introduced Theatrical realism to the Norwegian stage. *Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (1832–1910) novelist, dramatist and playwright who became the first Norwegian Nobel laureate. * Jonas Lie (1833–1908) novelist, poet, and playwright focusing largely on the folk life and social spirit of the nation of Norway. *Alexander Kielland (1849–1906) novelist, short story writer, playwright, essayist most known for his satirical writings and short stories.

This teenager was Neftalí Reyes, who would later take the pseudonym of Pablo Neruda and become another great Chilean poet. He would also follow in Mistral’s footsteps when he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971, 26 years after Mistral herself had won the highest honor in literature in 1945. In contrast to this tenuous link, the relationship between Huidobro, De Rokha and Neruda was one of the most persistent rivalries in Chilean cultural history. They were peers, part of the same ...
