哈瑞·马丁松（Harry Martinson，1904-1978）瑞典诗人。生于瑞典南部的卜洛金，5岁丧父，6岁时母亲离家移居美国，他成为各教区轮流收养的孤儿。15岁当海员，随船跑遍南美及印度。此后他漂泊无定，浪迹天涯。马丁松没有受过正规的文化教育和艺术熏陶，他的文学天才是在流浪生涯中生发的，因此被称为“文学界的流浪儿”。1926年，马丁松以海员生涯为题材，发表处女诗集《鬼船》，获得成功。1929年，他和另外四个青年作家合写了一部瑞典文学编年史《五个年轻人》，赢得很大声誉。此后，他发表了大量的诗歌和相当数量的游记、随笔、小说、回忆录等。他的主要诗作有《现代抒情诗选》（1931）、 游牧民族》（1931）、《自然》（1934）、《海风之路》（1945）、《蝉》（1958）、《德由勒之草》（1958）、《车》（196O）、《光与暗之诗》（1971）、《草之山》（1973）等诗集。被公认的代表作是发表于1956年的科幻大空长诗《阿尼亚拉》。马丁松诗作的艺术魁力，不仅表现在想象丰富，联想奇特，语言流畅，感情细腻等方面，而且主要表现在诗人善于采用新的视角观察人生，寻求独到的发现和体悟。因此，他的诗往往具有浓厚的哲理意味和巨大的艺术涵盖力。1949年，马丁松当选为瑞典学院院士。1974年，“由于他的作品能透过一滴露水反映整个世界”，与雍松一起获得诺贝尔文学奖。

　　Harry Martinson (6 May 1904 – 11 February 1978) was a Swedish author, poet and former sailor. In 1949 he was elected into the Swedish Academy. He was awarded a joint Nobel Prize in Literature in 1974 together with fellow Swede Eyvind Johnson "for writings that catch the dewdrop and reflect the cosmos".[1] The choice was controversial, as both Martinson and Johnson were members of the academy.[2]
　　
　　He has been called "the great reformer of 20th-century Swedish poetry, the most original of the writers called 'proletarian'."[3]
　　Life
　　Martinson was born in Jämshög, Blekinge County in south-eastern Sweden.[4] At a young age he lost both his parents whereafter he was placed as a foster child (Kommunalbarn) in the Swedish countryside.[4] At the age of sixteen Martinson ran away and signed onto a ship to spend the next years sailing around the world visiting countries including Brazil and India.[4]

　　A few years later lung problems forced him to set ashore in Sweden[5] where he travelled around without a steady employment, at times living as a vagabond on country roads.[4] At the age of 21, he was arrested for vagrancy in Lundagård park, Lund.[6]
　　
　　In 1929, he debuted as a poet. Together with Artur Lundkvist, Gustav Sandgren, Erik Asklund and Josef Kjellgren he authored the anthology Fem unga (Five Youths),[7] which introduced Swedish modernism. His poetry, characterized by linguistic innovation and a frequent use of metaphors, combined an acute eye for, and love of nature, with a deeply felt humanism.[8][9] His popular success as a novelist came with the semi-autobiographical Nässlorna blomma (Flowering Nettles) in 1935, about hardships encountered by a young boy in the countryside. It has since been translated into more than thirty languages. The novel Vägen till Klockrike (The Road to Klockrike, 1948) was another huge success, and in 1949 Martinson became the first proletarian writer to be elected a member of the Swedish Academy.[3]
　　
　　One of his most noted works is the poetic cycle Aniara, which is a story of the spacecraft Aniara that during a journey through space loses its course and subsequently floats on without destination. The book was published in 1956 and became an opera in 1959 composed by Karl-Birger Blomdahl.[10][11] The cycle has been described as "an epic story of man's fragility and folly".[12]
　　
　　From 1929 to 1940, he was married to Moa Martinson, whom he met through a Stockholm anarchist newspaper, Brand.[3] He travelled to the Soviet Union in 1934.[3][4] He and Moa were divorced due to her criticism of his lack of political commitment.[3] Moa became a writer; Harry married Ingrid Lindcrantz (1916–1994) in 1942.[3][4]
　　
　　Controversy
　　The joint selection of Eyvind Johnson and Martinson for the Nobel Prize in 1974[3] was very controversial as both were members of the Swedish Academy and thus on the Nobel panel.[2] Graham Greene, Saul Bellow and Vladimir Nabokov were the favoured candidates that year.[13]
　　
　　Death
　　The sensitive Martinson found it hard to cope with the criticism following his award, and committed suicide on 11 February 1978 at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm by cutting his stomach open with a pair of scissors in what has been described as a "hara-kiri-like manner".[14][15]
　　
　　Legacy
　　The 100th anniversary of Martinson's birth was celebrated around Sweden in 2004.[16]
