Pure comedy, this delightful novel follows an engaging reprobate who makes good, despite himself. Ove Rolandsen, a telegraph operator in an isolated fishing village in northern Norway, is a man of sudden passion, a cheerful rogue fond of girls and alchol. He constantly hatches ambitious schemes to the despair of his fiancée, Marie, housekeeper at the vicarage. When a plan to manufacture glue from fish- waste lands him in trouble, is his feckless career over or could fortune, for once, be on his side?
Born in 1859, Knut Hamsun`s early works were forceful and polemic before he became more compassionate, drawing inspiration from the country people of his native Norway. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920 for Growth of the Soil. He has been recognised as one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century.ISBN - 9788129109590
