Summary
Knut Hamsun: The Wanderers: a novel
The Wanderers is Hamsun's most extensive novel, a saga about the growing up and friendship of two friends, about the love and adventures of a young man from the north of Norway. Hamsun was a wanderer from his early youth, and this book is largely based on his experiences from that romantic time. He even immigrated to America twice: in 1882 when he was 23 years old, and then in 1886 (both times he stayed for two years, and the second time he returned because he was told he had tuberculosis), so he is very familiar with the topic of emigration to America.
