  Torborg Nedreaas

  Torborg Nedreaas (1906-1987) er en av 1900-tallets fremste norske forfattere, kjent for sitt samfunnsengasjement og sin sikre stil. Hun debuterte med novellesamlingen Bak skapet står øksen i 1945. To år etter kom den første romanen, Av måneskinn gror det ingenting, som også ble hennes gjennombrudd.
  
  Siden fulgte blant annet den prisbelønte Herdis-trilogien: Trylleglasset (1950), Musikk fra en blå brønn (1960) og Ved neste nymåne (1971). Nedreaas var viljesterk og uredd hele sitt liv. Trass i at hun aldri ga opp sine kontroversielle meninger og sin kommunisme – så seint som i 1975 ble et radiokåseri om NATO stanset av NRK – holdt hun på en livsstil der siameserkatter, sjampanje og østers var selvsagte ingredienser. Mange kjenner også Nedreaas

Artistiek is het boek niet geslaagd, reden waarom Roemer het herschreef tot Nergens ergens (1983). De novelle Waarom zou je huilen, mijn lieve, lieve.

  Γεννήθηκε στην Κωνσταντινούπολη το 1897 και έζησε τα παιδικά της χρόνια στον Πειραιά και το Βατούμ της Ρωσίας. Φοίτησε σε ρωσικό γυμνάσιο, στη Σταυρούπολη, όπου τη βρήκε η Οκτωβριανή Επανάσταση. Το 1919 γύρισε στην Κωνσταντινούπολη και λίγο αργότερα πήγε στην Αλεξάνδρεια, όπου παντρεύτηκε τον Ιορδάνη Ιορδανίδη. Το 1923 επέστρεψαν μαζί στην Αθήνα, αλλά σύντομα ο Ιορδανίδης έφυγε.
  
  Εξαιτίας των συνθηκών της ζωής της, η Ιορδανίδου απέκτησε μεγάλη γλωσσομάθεια και εργάστηκε ως ιδιωτική υπάλληλος. Έγινε γνωστή στο λογοτεχνικό χώρο με το έργο Λωξάντρα, που έγραψε σε ηλικία 65 χρονών, το 1962, και γνώρισε πολλές επανεκδόσεις.
