4.4
Growth of the Soil
by Knut Hamsun
As a young man, Isak begins to farm some unclaimed land in the hills. He is soon joined by INger, who works hard beside him, bears him a son and becomes his wife. Together the family turns the small holding into a large estate that becomes the envy of the townsfolk who then move to Isak's mountain to try their luck. The successes, the failures, and the intertwining of the several families on the mountain form the theme for a story that is a powerful evocation of the strength people draw from the land.
