New York: Coward-McCann, Inc., 1930. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very good/not quite very good. A Very Good or better copy of the uncommon first U.S. American edition of the Norwegian author's novel in a not quite Very Good example of a later dust jacket. A pioneer of psychological literature who Isaac Bashevis Singer described as "...the father of the modern school of literature in his every aspecthis subjectiveness, his fragmentariness, his use of flashbacks, his lyricism. The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun." Also praising him highly, Thomas Mann declared him to be a "...descendant of Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche." Knut Hamsun won the 1920 Nobel Prize in Literature. Copies of this first American edition are rather uncommon, and copies in any early dust jacket are quite so.

Due to his professed support for the German occupation of Norway, he was charged with treason after the war. He was not convicted, due to what was deemed psychological problems and issues with old age". (wiki).

Description:
London: Cassell and Company, Limited, 1931. Vagabonds' first chapter is "a masterpiece" in evoking the loss of innocence and the perils of modernity (Ferguson, 290). It also introduces the trilogy's protagonist, August, one of Hamsun's most enduring figures. "What makes Hamsun more than just a good storyteller and a superb stylist are his insights into the 'almost imperceptible movements of the soul' and his sense of the mystery of life" (Wintle, New Makers). Yet controversy continues over Hamsun's role in the Nazi occupation of Norway and his meetings with Hitler and Goebbels. To his biographer, "what can be safely said of him is that he was a great writer, and his contribution to the art of writing has been enormous" (Ferguson, 422). First edition, first issue: copyright page with no statement of edition or printings; copies found with colophon or without colophon (this copy), no priority established. Copyright date of "Oct. 29, 1930" (Catalogue of Copyright Entries.…
