Description

Knut Hamsun's Wanderers, translated by W. W. Worster, joins two volumes, Under the Autumn Star and A Wanderer Plays on Muted Strings, under one title. Its center is Knut Pedersen from the Northlands, through whose eyes the fates of Captain Falkenberg and his wife slowly unfold.

Worster's introduction calls the books close to diaries, mirroring Hamsun's moods and known life events with unusual candor. Read with the sequel The Last Joy, they form a psychological record as much as a story, tracing a wanderer's mind through autumn roads and muted music.
