Paperback. Translator(s): Worster, W. Series: Condor Books. Num Pages: 435 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 201 x 156 x 30. Weight in Grams: 476.
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.
