	The aim of this paper is to analyse the representation of landscape in the novel Eyes of the Rigel (2017) by the Norwegian writer Roy Jacobsen from the perspective of geopoetics, including literary sensory geography, which accentuates geographical conditions of perception by making use of the findings of geography and anthropology of the senses. The protagonist of the novel lives on a small island off the northern coast of Norway and goes on a journey lasting several weeks, heading towards the south, from the sea through the interior of the country. In Jacobsen’s novel, the sensual landscape of the mainland is shaped mainly by auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, and visual experiences, while the home island of the protagonist remains the reference point for these experiences.
