Fruits of the Earth

Newly settled peasants go into the forest wilderness and try to build their little happiness away from civilization. A measured philosophical novel that won Knut Hamsun the Nobel Prize.
Isaac comes to the forest, brings a goat with him and starts his life from scratch. He sets up his house, starts a farm and works hard. First by himself, and then with his wife and children.
"The Fruits of the Earth" is an ode to the land, labor and people working on it. Hamsun does not idealize his characters, he contemplates their strength and weakness, advantages and disadvantages, lovingly attends to their aspirations and hopes, small victories and even big defeats.
