{"product_id":"knut-hamsun-novelist-sverre-lyngstad-9780820474335","title":"Knut Hamsun, Novelist: A Critical Assessment","description":"This is the first comprehensive study in English of the novels of Knut Hamsun, Nobel Laureate in literature for 1920, from the radically innovative \u003ci\u003eHunger\u003c\/i\u003e (1890) to \u003ci\u003eThe Ring Is Closed\u003c\/i\u003e (1936). The texts are discussed in depth, with analysis of recurrent themes, narrative modes, and generic idiosyncrasies, and are evaluated in terms of originality and artistic integrity. Reviews and other critical opinions are cited to broaden the evaluative spectrum and throw light on the novels' receptions. Although the book is scholarly, its blend of commentary and summarizing description - of settings, characters and story lines - will also interest the general reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sverre Lyngstad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820474339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820474335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Sverre Lyngstad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926519644415,"sku":"9780820474335","price":119.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_790e7dfd-c586-4955-b47e-02900610f89c.jpg?v=1681083515","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knut-hamsun-novelist-sverre-lyngstad-9780820474335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
