Growth of the Soil, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920, is Knut Hamsun’s profound novel celebrating the dignity of rural life. The story follows Isak, a simple man who carves out a farm in the Norwegian wilderness, building a life with his family through hard work and resilience. Hamsun’s philosophical narrative explores the harmony between man and nature, critiquing industrialization and modern alienation. With its stark prose and elemental themes, Growth of the Soil remains a powerful testament to the human spirit and the value of simplicity. |
