This is the story of Isak, a worker of the land, with its roots in man's deepest myths about the struggle to cultivate the land and make it fertile. Sweeping and panoramic, the story moves at the pace of the passing seasons and with the growth of the crops on which the characters' lives depend. Hamsun's themes of individual freedom, and the fundamental human need to reconcile man with the natural world, speak even more resonantly than when the novel was first published.

I couldn't put this book about farming "pioneers" in Norway down. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in historical fiction. There is a reason it won the Nobel Prize. The characters in the story are well developed and you want to keep reading to find out what happens to them.
