In the wilds of Norway, Isak tends to the land. He finds a satisfying independence in living off farmland and is weary of the encroaching city, whose leaders and citizens are disloyal and self-seeking. Growth of the Soil, a tale that has captured the hearts of those struggling to make sense of this ever-changing world, was a major factor in winning Hamsun the Nobel Prize.

Also look for Hamsun’s similarly themed novels Hunger and Pan. For your convenience, both are available in eBook format.
If you are interested in another Scandinavian writer’s perspective on the dichotomy of farm and city, download Willa Cather’s My Antonia.
