4.0 out of 5 stars And You Thought Scandinavia Was Dull, 15 Jan 2009
Tales of loss certainly but of love? There's hardly a story here to cheer the soul. But as each tale gets into your skin from the starting whistle it's very hard to put this book down. Eerie, creepy and beguiling stories that cross frequently from Gogol to Tales Of The Unexpected. Most of these stories are set somewhere bleak and cold and forlorn in carnivale Scandinavia. Even the ones set in America are mostly out nowhereville where anything could happen. You'll still sleep at night but will you trust another human or even yourself? Hamsun leaves one stunned.

4.0 out of 5 stars For any Hamsun reader, this is a must!, 21 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This is one of the rare collections (in English) of Hamsuns short stories. As always, they are a pleasure to read. His early short stories can be quite "stiff" to read, but I am sure this is due to the restraints of the time - but do not fret - in this book are such real gems - and Robert Ferguson translates them in true Hamsun style, truth & wit.
