Résumé

Nobel Prize winner, Knut Hamsun has been recognised as one of the greatest figures of the 20th century. In this work, the wanderer of his previous works comes to rest as a settler of the wild. It is a story of a man's struggle to cultivate the land, and it moves at the pace of the seasons, seeking the truths that lie behind family and community.

Growth of the Soil Résumé

Growth of the Soil Knut Hamsun

This is the story of Isak, a worker of the land, with its roots in man's deepest myths about the struggle to cultivate the land and make it fertile. Sweeping and panoramic, the story moves at the pace of the passing seasons and with the growth of the crops on which the characters' lives depend. Hamsun's themes of individual freedom, and the fundamental human need to reconcile man with the natural world, speak even more resonantly than when the novel was first published.

Growth of the Soil Avis

One of the great writers of this century... Hamsun's novels have the simplicity of total self-possession. * Sunday Times *
