The Last Joy

---

'''''The Last Joy''''' () is the third book in [[Knut Hamsun]]'s "wanderer trilogy."<ref></ref> The novel was published in 1912, when Hamsun was just over 50 years old and had much of his writing ahead of him, but already knew the weight of age. The novel is set in the first person; the narrator has lived his life and now has the last joy of opting out of everything and just being with himself in nature. However, in Hamsuns's manner he cannot do it without revealing his self-deception.

The work was translated into English as ''Look Back on Happiness'' in 1940<ref name="Lyngstad">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> and as ''The Last Joy'' in 2003.<ref name="Lyngstad"/><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
