{"product_id":"dreamers-knut-hamsun-9780811213219","title":"Dreamers","description":"The midnight sun illumines more than fishing and fjords in this remote northern Norwegian village. In fact, half-baked schemes and hilarity abound. Big Ove Rolandsen, telegraph operator, mad scientist, and local Casanova, trades wits, fists, and kisses with a host of quirky neighbors. He serenades the curate's wife and fights a drunken giant, but taking on Trader Mack, the town's fish-glue magnate, is a more difficult matter. Knut Hamsun, author of the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eHunger\u003c\/em\u003e and winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize for Literature, renders the dreams and dramas of these townsfolk with a delightfully light touch. Robert Bly has written that Hamsun has a magnifying glass on his eye, like a jeweler's, and \u003cem\u003eDreamers\u003c\/em\u003e gleams like a perfect, semi-precious stone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Knut Hamsun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811213218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811213219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.23w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/08\/1996 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1996 pg. 487\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1996 pg. 87","brand":"Knut Hamsun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992473731327,"sku":"9780811213219","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a086e23a-8097-45b6-a8ec-f74e515ac2b3.jpg?v=1683319139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dreamers-knut-hamsun-9780811213219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
