Tarjei Vesaas

Died in 1970

Tarjei Vesaas was born on 20 August 1897 in Vinje, in Telemark, the eldest of three sons on a family farm that he refused to take over, for which he long felt guilty. From 1923 he wrote symbolic novels and short stories, in Nynorsk, and in 1934 married the poet Halldis Moren. Nominated many times for the Nobel Prize, he died on 15 March 1970, in Oslo (in Vinje according to Britannica).
