The epic novel of man and nature that won its author the Nobel
Prize in Literature-the first new English translation since the
novel's original publication ninety years ago
When it was first published in 1917, "Growth of the Soil" was
immediately recognized as a masterpiece. Ninety years later it
remains a transporting literary experience. In the story of Isak,
who leaves his village to clear a homestead and raise a family amid
the untilled tracts of the Norwegian back country, Knut Hamsun
evokes the elemental bond between humans and the land. Newly
translated by the acclaimed Hamsun scholar Sverre Lyngstad,
Hamsun's novel is a work of preternatural calm, stern beauty, and
biblical power-and the crowning achievement of one of the greatest
writers of the twentieth century.
