5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner From Hamsun, July 10, 2001

Donald Ford (dford@midrivers.com) (Lavina, Montana United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Benoni (Hardcover)

Benoni is a wonderful tale set in a small Norweigen village, a frequent setting for Hamsun novels. The book follows the ups & downs of a common resident, who is taken under the wing of the town's richest man. With his rise in the community, Benoni also makes good with the girl of his dreams, Rosa. But one day, Benoni has a bit too much to drink & his tail starts wagging and bragging. Soon word spreads about his drunken scene and his station in the community falls, as does his standing with his beloved Rosa. This is a beautiful work, where Hamsun accentuates seemingly meaningless "trifles", but it's just these trifles that make up our lives & their defining moments. This work is a fine example of Hamsun's mastery of simplicity & understatement. Benoni is an outstanding work coming from one of the greatest authors of all-time. Get it. Read it. You'll love it.
