An autobiographical element is evident in practically everything that Hamsun has written. But it is particularly marked in the two volumes now published under the common title of Wanderers, as well as in the sequel named The Last Joy. These three works must be considered together. They have more in common than the central figure of Knut Pedersen from the Northlands through whose vision the fates of Captain Falkenberg and his wife are gradually unfolded to us.
