'Benoni', written in 1908, is part of a double novel by Knut Hamsun. 'Benoni' is the first part, and 'Rosa' is the sequel and second part of the double work.
'Benoni' is about the spirited Benoni Hartvigsen, who, at the beginning of the novel, is a poor mail-carrier and fisherman with little social standing, but one day he receives a large sum of money.
