Wanderers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162716237)

Wanderers is a novel written by Knut Hamsun, originally published in 1904. The story is set in Norway and follows the life of a young woman named Dagny Juel, who is a talented artist and writer. Dagny is a free spirit, and she spends her days wandering through the countryside, observing nature and people around her. She is also deeply introspective and spends a lot of time reflecting on her own thoughts and feelings.As the story progresses, Dagny meets a variety of people on her travels, including artists, writers, and other free spirits. She forms deep connections with some of them, while others she finds frustrating or disappointing. Throughout it all, Dagny remains true to herself, following her own path and refusing to be constrained by society's expectations.Wanderers is a beautifully written novel that explores themes of freedom, creativity, and individuality. Hamsun's prose is lyrical and poetic, and he has a keen eye for the natural world. The novel is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the face of societal pressure and expectations.It has always been a pleasure to me to watch the flowers and insects in their struggle to keep alive. When the sun was hot they would come to life again, and give themselves up for an hour or so to the old delight; the big, strong flies were just as much alive as in midsummer. There was a peculiar sort of earth-bug here that I had not seen before--little yellow things, no bigger than a small-type comma, yet they could jump several thousand times their own length. Think of the strength of such a body in proportion to its size! There is a tiny spider here with its hinder part like a pale yellow pearl.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
