Bøker av Knut Hamsun

Boken skildrer en ung og fattig skribent som lever på sultegrensen i 1880-årenes Kristiania. Den har som bakgrunn Hamsuns egne forsøk på å overleve i hovedstaden vinteren 1880-81 og 1885-86. Den unge forfatteren er preget av sosiale og kunstneriske ambisjoner som står i grell kontrast til hans virkelige liv som fillete, tiggende og arbeidsløs ung mann.

Although initially amazed by Isak's prowess - his wife Inger, who came into contact with modern society when imprisoned for killing her infant due to its birth defect, return to the home much less impressed by the country life.

First published in 1917, it has since been translated from Norwegian into languages such as English. The novel was written in the popular style of Norwegian new realism, a movement dominating the early 20th century. The novel exemplified Hamsun's aversion to modernity and inclination towards primitivism and the agrarian lifestyle. The novel employed literary techniques new to the time such as stream of consciousness. Hamsun tended to stress the relationship between his characters and the natural environment. Growth of the Soil portrays the protagonist (Isak) and his family as awed by modernity, yet at times, they come into conflict with it. The novel contains two sections entitled Book One and Book Two. The first book focuses almost solely on the story of Isak and his family and the second book starts off by following the plight of Axel and ends mainly focusing on Isak's family. (wikipedia.org)
