Mysteries by Knut Hamsun 1971 1st Printing. The community of a small Norwegian coastal town is shaken by the arrival of eccentric stranger Johan Nagel, who proceeds to shock, bewilder, and beguile its bourgeoisie inhabitants with his bizarre behavior, feverish rants, and uncompromising self-revelations.

In Isaac Bashevis Singer's opinion..."The whole school of fiction in the 20th century stems from Hamsun."
