Overview

From the dust jacket: "This is a very great book. The theme is simple to the point of austerity. A man goes into the wilderness, builds a hut with his own hands, breaks ground, marries, rears a family, sows and plows and works mightily until he is overtaken by old age. And out of the material afforded by the quiet, uneventful lives of the pioneer, Isak, and his neighbors Knut Hamsun's genius creates a monumental epic of man's eternal friendly struggle with the soil which gives him bread and clothing . . ." Spine and edges firm. Dust jacket possesses minimal shelfwear. Note: there is considerable foxing along page edges (see photos). Fifth Printing, March 1968. Previous owner's name is written on first endpage.
