Dreamers is a novel written by the Norwegian Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun and first published in 1921. The story follows the life of a young man named Ove Rolandsen, who lives in a small coastal town in northern Norway. Ove is a dreamer, an idealist who longs for a life of adventure and romance. He spends his days wandering the town, lost in his own thoughts and fantasies.Ove's life changes when he meets a young woman named Edvarda, who is visiting the town with her wealthy family. Ove becomes infatuated with Edvarda and begins to pursue her, despite the disapproval of her family and the townspeople. Ove's pursuit of Edvarda leads him down a path of self-destruction, as he becomes increasingly isolated and detached from reality.As the novel progresses, Ove's mental state deteriorates, and he becomes more and more disconnected from the world around him. The novel is a powerful exploration of the human psyche, and Hamsun's vivid descriptions of Ove's inner thoughts and emotions make for a compelling and thought-provoking read.Dreamers is considered one of Hamsun's most significant works, and it has been praised for its lyrical prose, vivid imagery, and complex characters. The novel is a timeless exploration of the human condition, and it continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
