Growth of the Soil by Knut Hamsun
"Growth of the Soil" by Knut Hamsun is a novel published in 1917 that won him the Nobel Prize in Literature. It follows Isak, a Norwegian man who settles on remote land and builds a farm from nothing. As his family grows and prospers through hard work, they face challenges from both nature and encroaching modernity. The story explores themes of primitive agrarian life, the bond between humans and land, and the
tensions that arise when traditional rural existence confronts progress and civilization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
