{"product_id":"9780811213219","title":"Dreamers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe midnight sun illumines more than fishing and fjords in this remote northern Norwegian village. In fact, half-baked schemes and hilarity abound. Big Ove Rolandsen, telegraph operator, mad scientist, and local Casanova, trades wits, fists, and kisses with a host of quirky neighbors. He serenades the curate's wife and fights a drunken giant, but taking on Trader Mack, the town's fish-glue magnate, is a more difficult matter. Knut Hamsun, author of the acclaimed Hunger and winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize for Literature, renders the dreams and dramas of these townsfolk with a delightfully light touch. Robert Bly has written that Hamsun \"has a magnifying glass on his eye, like a jeweler's,\" and Dreamers gleams like a perfect, semi-precious stone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015310557424,"sku":"9780811213219","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780811213219_p0.jpg?v=1763740785","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780811213219","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
