Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (1832–1910) was a celebrated Norwegian playwright, poet, novelist, and a 1903 Nobel Prize laureate in Literature. His contribution to Norwegian literature is monumental, as he was an influential figure in the Norwegian romantic movement. Bjørnson's early works are characterized by their national romantic spirit, and he is often mentioned in the same breath as Henrik Ibsen, Alexander Kielland, and Jonas Lie, as part of the 'Great Four' who were paramount in the development of modern Norwegian literature. His work is rich with the portrayal of Norwegian rural life, exploring themes of morality and identity, evident in novels like 'Synnøve Solbakken' and 'Arne'. Bjørnson's versatility as a writer allowed him to experiment with a variety of genres, earning him an esteemed place in Norwegian cultural history. 'The Big Book of Christmas Novels, Stories, Myths & Carols' showcases both his storytelling prowess and his ability to resonate with universal festivities and traditions, appealing to a wide audience. Throughout his career, he balanced literary pursuits with fervent political activism, championing the causes of both Norwegian independence and broader human rights.
