    About this ebook

    This incredible journey follows the peasants Isak and Inger in rural Norway as they struggle through hard times. Hamsun’s descriptions are spot on and provoke deep emotion. The great short story writer Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote, “the whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun.”
