On Overgrown Paths is the English title of the final novel by Norwegian author and nobel laureate Knut Hamsun. Hamsun's attempt to prove his soundness of mind after his sanity was called into question. Written at the age of 90, as his last literary work, the short novel is part a fiction pamphlet, part diary, part old man's apologia and part protest at the court ruling in his 1948 trial, that determined he had "permanently impaired mental abilities". "St. John's Day, 1948 - Today, the Supreme Court has given its verdict and I end my writing."

  • Auf überwachsenen Pfaden ist das 1949 erschienene Alterswerk des norwegischen Schriftstellers und Nobelpreisträgers Knut Hamsun (1859–1952). Nach Kriegsende wurde Hamsun wegen seiner Kollaboration mit der deutschen Besatzung angeklagt und zeitweise in eine psychiatrische Anstalt eingewiesen. Erst nach drei Jahren konnte er auf sein Gut zurückkehren. Über diese von ihm als demütigend empfundene Zeit berichtet er in Form eines Tagebuchs, worin er auch mit dem untersuchenden Psychiater abrechnet, der ihn als Menschen „mit nachhaltig geschwächten geistigen Fähigkeiten“ beurteilt hatte.

  • Langs overwoekerde paden (Noors: Paa gjengrodde Stier, verschenen in 1949) is het laatste literaire werk van de Noorse schrijver en Nobelprijswinnaar Knut Hamsun. Het werd geschreven tijdens een periode van huisarrest, nadat hij was beschuldigd van collaboratie met de Duitsers. Deels kan het werk gezien worden als een poging om aantijgingen dat zijn geestvermogens waren aangetast te weerleggen. (nl)
  • «На зарослих стежках» (норв. "På Gjengrodde Stier") — остання книга норвезького письменника Кнута Гамсуна, яку він написав у 1949 році. Автобіографічний твір, в основі якого лежать епізодичні спогади автора про судовий процес над ним, а також поодинокі спогади з його життя. (uk)

"St. John's Day, 1948 - Today, the Supreme Court has given its verdict and I end my writing." - So ends Knut Hamsun's last book and last literary sentence.Written while in police custody after WWII for his outspoken National Socialist sympathies and support of the Quisling government during the German occupation of Norway, 1940-45. Highly controversial in its day, the narrative structure is of small separate events without obvious links, but differs from his fiction writing only in its claim to be historically and autobiographically true. Later critics point out that fiction-reality boundaries elide in several of his books and 'OOP' presents some fictional elements as reality.Voted Best Norwegian Non-Fiction Book published after 1945 in the Culture and Entertainment category in the NRK program Faktasjekken, by Members of the Norwegian Professional Literary Authors and Translators Association. The original Norwegian title was Paa gjengrodde Stier. (en)
