Tales of love and loss - Knut Hamsun

Twenty stories ranging over every
imaginable human emotion and situation, Tales of Love and Loss is a treat for
all lovers of great writing. Knut Hamsun published only three collections of
short stories during his lifetime and abandoned the form entirely after 1906.
Most of these stories are translated into English for the first time ans this
is the first publication for them outside Norway. Providing a fascinating
commentary on the novels Hamsun was writing at the time and with forebodings
of his much later work these stories are indispensable.
