En kærlighedshistorie er undertitlen på den bevægende fortælling om Johannes og Victoria - de elsker hinanden, men de sociale skel mellem herremandsdatteren og møllersønnen gør, at deres følelser ikke kan realiseres. En fatal sneppejagt sætter punktum.

Nordahl Grieg om Hamsun: "Han ligger og våger over alt, sørger for alt, så ømt bekymret for det mindste i sproget, han følger hver lille bisætning med utrættelig kærlighed, leger og pusler med den, løfter den op som en myre på en træpind, ler og godter sig, sætter den ned og lader den løbe videre! Hans øjne standser ved en kvist dernede, der ligger nu denne kvist! siger han og stryger den over barken." Knut Hamsun modtog Nobelprisen i Litteratur for Markens grøde i 1920.

Udstødt og stemplet som sindslidende mindes Knut Hamsun i sin dagbog for årene 1945-48, en tid hvor han blev anklaget og retsforfulgt for landsforræderi på grund af sit tyskvenlige tilhørsforhold under krigen.

No detailed description available for "The Cultural Life of Modern America".

Growth of the Soil, Knut Hamsun's Nobel Prize winning novel, is an abiding classic of Scandinavian literature.At the time it was published, the literary world was in the throes of shifting to a modernist style. Popular novels were set in the contemporary present, with technological and societal advancements forming part of the narrative backdrop. Growth of the Soil openly displays the conflicts between the old traditions of agrarian society, and the ever-mounting wonders and conveniences offered by modern society. The farmer Isak scarcely acknowledges the values of modern living. Illiterate but capable of carrying out the business of running a farm, he has physical strength and works with his hands. Although initially amazed by Isak's prowess - his wife Inger, who came into contact with modern society when imprisoned for killing her infant due to its birth defect, return to the home much less impressed by the country life.

The midnight sun illumines more than fishing and fjords in this remote northern Norwegian village. In fact, half-baked schemes and hilarity abound. Big Ove Rolandsen, telegraph operator, mad scientist, and local Casanova, trades wits, fists, and kisses with a host of quirky neighbors. He serenades the curate's wife and fights a drunken giant, but taking on Trader Mack, the town's fish-glue magnate, is a more difficult matter. Knut Hamsun, author of the acclaimed Hunger and winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize for Literature, renders the dreams and dramas of these townsfolk with a delightfully light touch. Robert Bly has written that Hamsun "has a magnifying glass on his eye, like a jeweler's," and Dreamers gleams like a perfect, semi-precious stone.
