Boston Transcript: "The short tale that fills less than two hundred pages unrolls vividly before the eye through the sheer force of the writer's artistic sincerity. The story is largely poetry....Some of the paragraphs are tiny lyrics in themselves." |

This pastoral love story takes place in a remote country village in Norway, An army officer on furlough falls in love with a local girl who alternately encourages and spurns him. His obsession is only increased by her moods, and eventually he can think of nothing else. The operatic nature of the tale is reflected in the ornate and exquisitely lyrical prose with which the author tells it. It is one of Hamsun's most famous books and was, from the time of its first publication, one of his most popular as well. |
