{"product_id":"wayfarers","title":"Knut Hamsun: Wayfarers [1994] paperback","description":"As the modern industrialised world begins to encroach on a small, isolated coastal town in northern Norway the effect is devastating. For young Edevart, uprooted from his simple origins, it brings progressive alienation from the old traditions; for August, the lying, charming scoundrel, it means opportunities that will threaten the stability of an unspoiled community. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith comic irony and a haunting power, Hamsun charts the slow disintegration of the old way of life in a magnificent novel that provides brilliant insights into human nature: the visiting skipper who is lured to his death by Ane Marie because, hurtfully, he did not makes advances to her; the old watch seller who is as ready to cheat himself as he is to swindle others; the poignant, painful love affair between Edevart and the barefoot Lovise Magrete. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten seven years after Hamsun received the Nobel Prize for literature, Wayfarers is a masterpiece by one of the great novelists of the twentieth century.","brand":"Hamsun, Knut \u0026 Mcfarlane, J.","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51919160279379,"sku":"9780285649071","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":51919160246611,"sku":"XV80285649071","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Like New","offer_id":49048850006355,"sku":"XE80285649071","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/hamsun-knut-mcfarlane-j-knut-hamsun-wayfarers-1994-paperback-xe80285649071-57542850347347.jpg?v=1758184313","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/wayfarers","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
