Knut Hamsun was a major Norwegian author who received the Noble Prize for Literature for his novel Growth of the Soil in 1920. Hamsun's writing makes excellent use of symbolism. Hamsun saw man and nature united in a strong bond that could almost be considered mystical. The Wanderers consists of two novels published together which both have an autobiographical element. The Sequel entitled The Last Joy is the third book in this autobiographical group. The central figure of Knut Pedersen lives in the Northlands and through his vision the fates of Captain Falkenberg and his wife are gradually unfolded. The scenes in these works parallel events in Hamsun's life and more importantly they give an in depth look into the psychological aspects of Hamsum's mind.… (mehr)
Irritable man observing other irritable people. Occasional elegance in describing nature or practical tasks; seems more alive talking about plumbing than people. Strange emphasis on the wealth of the engineer, just a provincial technician. ( )
I love the way Hamsun writes, and I love the atmosphere of his novels. Unfortunately, the stories he tells are not always so interesting. In this book I strongly preferred the first story (about a man wandering about, doing work, acting selflessly, being intrigued by women) to the second, which is essentially a tragic romance that did not particularly stir my interest.
