The Growth of the Soil
by Knut Hamsun
Publisher: eBooks@Adelaide 2003
ISBN/ASIN: 0217315151
Description:
When Hamsun won the Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1920, it was mostly because of this 1917 novel, an epic vision of peasant life in Norway's backcountry. The saga of Isak and Inger (born with a harelip) and their hard times is by turns affecting and ponderous.
