he won nobel prize in 1917 but as much as I tried I couldn't find a translation of his novel Verdensvandrerne(or the weltwanderer in german)published first in 1910, does anyone can tell me the english translation and perhaps a publishing house ?

According to one Danish website (in Danish) the book has been translated into the following languages: German, Swedish, Polish and Czech. There was no mention of an English translation.
By the way, the Danish translation of the verb wonder is 'undre' or 'undre sig'
The verb 'vandre' would be translated as 'wander' in English - especially when used in a poetic or an archaic sense.
'Verdensvandrerne' = 'The World Wanderers'
However, according to the first website mentioned below, the author himself translated "Verdensvandrerne" as "The World Travellers."
Hope this helps.

Hej mit navn er Kasper. Jeg bor i Danmark og er dansker. Jeg har boet i USA i fem år. Vedrørene dit spørgsmål, Worldwonderers betyder Verdesnsvandrere. Det betyder mennesker der vandrer over hele verden. Jeg er så glad for at du ville have en dansk oversættelse. De sker ikke ofte!
Tak!

I think a good translation would be "The World Ramblers"
