Fruits of the earth

Newly settled peasants retreat into the forest wilderness and try to build their own little happiness far from civilization. This measured philosophical novel earned Knut Hamsun the Nobel Prize.
Isaac comes to the forest, brings his goat with him, and starts life anew. He builds his home, starts a farm, and works diligently—first alone, then with his wife and children.
"Fruits of the Soil" is an ode to the land, labor, and the people who work it. Hamsun doesn't idealize his characters; he contemplates their strengths and weaknesses, virtues and flaws, and lovingly listens to their hopes and aspirations, their small victories and even their great defeats.
